Entigrity and Boomer Team Up To Tackle Accounting Industry Staffing Shortage

Entigrity, a leading offshore staffing solutions provider, has entered into a strategic collaboration with Boomer Consulting, Inc., a well-known company offering collaborative peer communities and consulting services to some of the leading names in the accounting industry.

Jim Boomer, CEO of Boomer Consulting, Inc. quoted about the partnership , ‘’Teaming up with Entigrity allows us to address staffing challenges in the industry. We aim to establish partnerships with offshore staffing firms who can offer the capabilities that our members are looking for.’’

As staffing remains the major problem plaguing accounting firms these days, offshore staffing has become a viable strategy for many CPA firms. Many CPAs regard offshore accounting and taxation services as a way to meet staffing needs. Therefore, the collaboration between Entigrity and Boomer comes when small and mid-sized CPA firms need help addressing their staffing shortage. Large accounting firms, including the Big 4, have established offshore offices in India and have a sizable staff.  

Entigrity and Boomer aim to improve operational efficiency and client base management of small and medium-sized firms while generating more profits. When a firm has different teams working on the same processes, it creates inefficiency. For example, would you have three different teams performing the same task or one? By centralizing a process within a single team, you will maximize efficiency. 

Entigrity will adopt the best practices of larger accounting firms, including the Big 4, and provide small and mid-sized firms access to this global talent.  The main goal is to help accounting firms overcome staffing challenges, expand operations, grow their client base, manage their practices, and enhance their profitability through offshore staffing. 

Shawn Parikh, the Founder and CEO of Entigrity, stated, ‘’ This partnership with Boomer is a turning point for us and will help us to reach out to small and medium-sized CPA firms based in the US who are looking for  global staffing solutions.’’

Accounting firms are progressing from offering specific services to becoming comprehensive advisors with their small business clients. Amid talent shortages which have been persisting for a decade now, clients seek more value for the money they pay, offshore staffing services offer an immediate solution. Offshore staffing partners are familiar with U.S. accounting standards and can ensure flexibility as and when needed within an affordable price range. They also ensure that their staff stays updated with the latest technologies. They put in a lot of effort to train their personnel about technology upgrades, while keeping the client firm’s context in mind. 

Offshoring provides access to an extensive network of experienced accountants, bookkeepers,  auditors and tax experts. Therefore, clients don’t need to devote their time in training and can focus on the core aspects of their business. Hiring an offshore staffing partner enables an accounting firm to eliminate the expenses related to the recruitment and training of extra accounting & taxation personnel. Accounting firm owners will therefore no longer have HR related burdens and will have more time to devise effective strategies for growth.
