Case study · Bookkeeping and monthly close
White-label monthly close for 14 client entities, without adding a bookkeeping department
A US CPA firm wanted to offer monthly close and advisory services to its clients without building an internal bookkeeping team. An offshore white-label arrangement got 14 entities onto a five-business-day close.

business-day close, down from an inconsistent 15–25 day average
Questions
Answered plainly.
The things firms ask before the first call, without the sales gloss.
How do you handle client data and access?
We work inside systems you own, with the least access that gets the job done, and we keep no local copies of your data. Every login is protected with two-factor authentication, and each engagement begins with a signed engagement letter and NDA. When someone rotates off your work, their access is revoked the same day.
Can you work inside our existing QuickBooks or Xero file?
Yes. We work directly in your existing QuickBooks Online or Xero file as an invited user, so your file stays the single source of truth and nothing is migrated or duplicated. If you would rather we work in a copy or a sandbox during a heavy cleanup, we can do that too.
Do you support IFRS and US GAAP engagements?
Yes. Day-to-day bookkeeping and close can be kept on either basis, and our audit-support workpapers are prepared to IFRS, US GAAP, or the local framework your auditors are working to. If a treatment is genuinely unsettled, we flag it and document the reasoning rather than quietly pick a side.
What does a first engagement cost?
Most clients start with a paid pilot on a defined scope, so both sides can judge the fit before committing to anything ongoing. Pricing is a fixed monthly fee tied to volume and complexity rather than billed by the hour, so the number does not move around on you. We quote it in writing after a short call about your books.
