Well working remotely whether from ‘Boston or Bangalore’, ‘Miami or Mumbai’, ‘New York or New Delhi’, is all the same, as long as your staff has the right skill set, attitude, and speaks the same language. With Offshore staffing, it’s not just about hiring staff @ $10/hour but as I said it’s one such solution that may start as a stop-gap arrangement but also a potential long-term solution. It can help to build capacity, gain a competitive advantage, and also reduce your workload.

If you hire a full-time offshore staff, it starts from $10/hour in the US, $12/hour in CA, and £7/hour in the UK. Senior profiles are difficult to find everywhere in the world. So they cost a Lil bit higher in India as well.
When we started 8 years back, we always wanted to work with every accounting firm. However, after 3-4 years, we realized that every accounting firm is not fit for us. The best way to know is to schedule a call.
Yes, if you specifically want somebody with knowledge of particular software or platform, we could filter and find one out for you. Generally, every person we hire is evaluated in 3 ways regarding his expertise and knowledge:
Technical knowledge: Analyzing what work he is going to do whether accounting, tax, financial reporting, payroll, data entry or billing entries, etc. and also what has been his technical experience on his past assignments in previous employment.
Software knowledge: unless there is a specific request from a client about the experience in particular software we do not put that filter in providing you the final resumes. Software knowledge can be acquired if you have relevant technical knowledge.
For example, if you know to operate a computer, you can easily grasp and learn the functionality of another system, it doesn’t matter if it is a Windows computer or an Apple computer.
In the past, he might have worked on different software and probably you use different software. Now he could just migrate onto another platform with little training.
Knowledge of the protocols and processes of the firm: When a offshore staff starts working for you he only starts to get familiar with the company’s work culture and procedures, as these things could be learned only at a job. This is a common phrase with any kind of staff.
So, keeping in mind the above points, when we put this filter, the number of people who are going to your universe will reduce.
Yes, we usually hire only those candidates who have relevant experience of US GAAP, IRS, and other regulations. All the staff at Entigrity are trained in US accounting, tax code, and preparation of returns in the US context. Local experience in Indian accounting, tax, or financial industry is not counted.

Yes, in order to provide the best quality service to our clients it is important to have well-trained staff. We have a state of the art (in house) training facility with dedicated trainers.

When you hire a offshore staff you will have to identify the requirements at your end. However, just like any local employee, a offshore staff can perform most of the tasks related to:
Entigrity’s offshore staff are available for about a third of the conventional salary paid to local staff. Besides, it does not require infrastructure development at your office due to offshore working. There are no-cost recruitment or training cost involved. There is no liability of compliances, Medicare, or other benefits. Also, it is not required to pay bonuses or overtime charges. Hence overall, counting various direct or indirect benefits due to offshore staffing, 75% saving on labor cost is just a conservative number.
Offshore staff is an employee who works for your firm under your management but from a location that is physically out of your office. This could be from anywhere, employee’s home, a coffee shop in a neighborhood, a different city, or even from an overseas location. Entigrity’s offshore Staff actually works from our offices located in India.
We can divide it into Short term and Long term benefits. Sometimes firms sign up because of their tax season overflow, that's a short-term benefit. However, offshore staffing is a way forward for your long term. It should be the core strategy of your firm, not just a one-time adventure. Like any of your local staff, a offshore staff from Entigrity also works under your management and fully reports to you. As they work from offshore offices of Entigrity, this

Yes. But first, you need to identify the requirements which also includes realizing whether you have enough workload to keep the team occupied. We usually recommend taking a baby step and hiring 1 or 2 staff and if the requirement grows you are free to scale up the team size whenever you want.
It's not difficult to find a suitable replacement. According to our internal study, only one in every 10 candidates needs replacing. As a result, replacement is not frequent and may occur due to a hiring error or changes in circumstances at the firm or among the staff.
Entigrity's replacement process has a lot of benefits. To begin, each employee must serve a three-month notice period so that the new staff has enough time to adjust over those three months. Second, unlike on-shore workers, you won't have to start from scratch with them.
Third, because we require departing employees to handover their tasks and responsibilities to the new one, the extra three months will not be charged to your account.
But, we have high standards; as our first-year attrition rate is 6%, while the second-year it’s 7%. Around 85% of our clients' staff stay for more than 2 years. Our average retention is 5 years.
By building an offshore team, firms can operate efficiently with more staff, while spending less than they would if they hired local employees. It is possible to save 70% on the cost of hiring accountants. As a result, offshore can help you in cost savings.
