The true cost of an offshore accountant, line by line
Headline rates are not costs. Here is every line that belongs in the comparison, including the four that proposals usually leave out.
Globex builds dedicated accounting teams in India for firms abroad. Your workflows, your software, your review standards, at a materially lower cost than hiring locally.
Software our teams work in
Twelve delivery practices, each staffed by qualified accountants working inside your systems and to your review standard. Take one. Take all of them.
Clean, reconciled, review ready books every month, closed on a calendar you set rather than one we invent.
Return preparation at season scale. Forms 1040, 1120, 1120-S, 1065, 990 and the UK, Canadian and Australian equivalents, prepared to your review standard.
Multi-state, multi-entity payroll run on time, filed on time, and reconciled to the general ledger every cycle.
Invoice capture through to payment run, with three-way matching, approval routing and a vendor master that stays clean.
Invoice faster, follow up consistently, get paid sooner, with a days sales outstanding figure you can actually watch move.
Board grade financial leadership covering forecasting, unit economics and capital strategy, without a full time executive hire.
Most offshore engagements collapse for the same four reasons: review overhead, attrition, security friction and pricing that moves after signature. Each one is answered below, contractually rather than conversationally.
Access controlled floors, locked virtual desktops, no removable media and session logging your IT team can inspect. We will complete your security questionnaire and accept your audit.
Teams work your hours, with a live overlap agreed in the engagement so questions get answered inside the working day rather than overnight.
We recruit against your technical bar, and every engagement has a named second level reviewer who did not prepare the work.
Structured career paths and benchmarked pay, with a backfill commitment and handover obligation written into the agreement.
One monthly number covering salary, benefits, infrastructure, licences, management and quality assurance. No leave deductions and no surprise line items.
Notice period, process documentation handover and the team transfer path are all defined in the contract, not negotiated later.
Chart of accounts, revenue recognition, compliance calendar and the metrics your lenders and investors ask for, understood before day one.
Elastic preparation capacity so partners stay on review, advisory and client relationships through every season.
Property level books, common area reconciliations, draw schedules and investor reporting across portfolios of any size.
Multi-channel settlement reconciliation, inventory costing and sales tax nexus handled across every marketplace.
Revenue cycle aware accounting for practices, clinics and provider groups, with patient data handled under your policy.
Job costing, work in progress schedules, percentage of completion and lien waiver tracking that holds up with bonding agents.
Trust and client account handling with three-way reconciliation, plus matter level profitability your partners will read.
Revenue recognition under ASC 606, deferred revenue schedules and the subscription metrics your board asks for each quarter.
Fund accounting, grant compliance and Form 990 preparation that keeps restricted funds genuinely restricted.
Six steps, in order. No step is skipped, including the one most providers leave out: the parallel run.
A working session rather than a sales call. We map your current workflow, volumes, software, review standards and the specific bottleneck you want gone.
You receive a written role scorecard, team structure, shift plan and a transparent monthly cost with nothing hidden below the line.
We screen for technical skill, communication and culture, then present a shortlist per role. You interview. You decide. Nobody is placed without your approval.
Access provisioning under your IT policy, confidentiality agreements, security training, software certification and a documented calibration batch before any live file is touched.
The first period runs in parallel with your existing process. Output is compared, gaps are closed, and handover completes only when your reviewer signs off.
A named practice manager, a monthly service review against agreed service levels, quarterly capacity planning and a backfill commitment written into the contract.
Whatever the model, the number you are quoted is the number you are invoiced: fully loaded, with no charge for leave, training, attrition or backfill.
A full time finance professional working only on your account, in your time zone, on your systems.

Headline rates are not costs. Here is every line that belongs in the comparison, including the four that proposals usually leave out.
Firms that onboard in January spend busy season training. Firms that onboard early spend it filing. Here is the calendar.
A fast close is not a harder close. It is a close where most of the work already happened before the month…
And a few they wish they had asked their last provider. If yours is not here, ask it directly and you will get a straight answer.
Tell us what your firm is struggling with. We will map the roles, show you the cost model and give you a shortlist to interview. No retainer, no obligation.
