What administrative staffing takes off your plate
Two ways to hire. Transparent pricing.
Every finance role prices the same way. Both models carry the same bar: vetted candidates in 10 calendar days and 5-Stage Vetting. The guarantee differs by model: 60-day replacement on US Direct Hire, 100% performance replacement on Global Fully Managed.
Exceptional talent from Latin America, the Philippines, South Africa, Eastern Europe, and Canada, from $12/hr. One monthly fee, all-inclusive: sourcing, vetting, payroll, compliance, and ongoing support.
Explore global staffing →Full-time professionals across the United States, employed directly by you. One placement fee: from 12.5% of first-year salary, with the $995 retainer credited against it. Prefer nothing upfront? From 15%, paid only when you hire. Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of salary for the same search.

When the close slips past the tenth
Most teams wait too long. These are the points where the seat pays for itself immediately.
- The close takes weeks, not days.
- Reconciliation has become archaeology.
- Leadership decides on last month's numbers.
- Your controller is doing data entry.
- The aging report gets reported, never worked.
- Payroll is a scramble every cycle.
How our hiring process works
Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented. Every administrative candidate passes 5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening, and you see vetted candidates in 10 calendar days.
AI-assisted screening
Every application is screened against the role's real requirements before a recruiter reviews it.
Skills assessment
Candidates prove the core skills the role needs through practical, job-specific tasks.
Communication and culture
We assess English fluency, communication, and fit for how your team actually works.
Background verification
Work history, credentials, and identity are verified before any candidate advances.
Reference checks
We speak to past managers to confirm performance before a candidate reaches you.
Where your bookkeepers work best
- The seat signs filings or carries fiduciary duty
- Auditors expect a domestic point of contact
- The role manages a US team on your payroll
- The work lives in your accounting software
- Transaction volume needs consistent daily hands
- You want senior support at junior cost
Both models carry the same vetting bar and the same guarantee. Pricing for each is above.
| Role / responsibility | Global | US direct hire | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily transaction coding | Global | Lives entirely in your accounting software | |
| Account reconciliations | Global | System work with no location benefit | |
| Payables and receivables | Global | Structured, high volume, staffs globally | |
| Tax filings and sign off | US direct hire | Carries fiduciary duty, keep it domestic | |
| Auditor point of contact | US direct hire | Auditors expect a domestic contact | |
| Payroll processing | Global | US direct hire | Depends on provider and jurisdiction |
| Month end close preparation | Global | Coordination work, staffs globally | |
| Board and lender reporting | US direct hire | Usually presented by a domestic seat |
One partner, onshore and global
A US office manager working alongside two fully managed global assistants is a Tuesday, not an exception. You pick the model per desk and we run both under one partner.

Administrative Support staffing, answered
Should I hire a bookkeeper or an accountant?
A bookkeeper records transactions and reconciles accounts daily. An accountant interprets those records, owns the close and prepares statements. Most growing companies need the bookkeeper first and add accounting seniority when the close, not the data entry, becomes the bottleneck.
Which accounting software do your candidates know?
Candidates are matched and tested on the system you run, most commonly QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Sage or Bill.com. Software fluency is screened during vetting rather than taken on trust, and an unusual stack gets scoped on the discovery call. Where a client runs something niche, we screen for transferable ledger depth instead of claiming fluency that does not exist.
Is a global finance hire safe for our books?
Yes, with the same controls you would apply to any hire. Global Fully Managed staff work inside your software under your approval limits, and separation of duties stays with you. Background and reference checks run inside 5-Stage Vetting on every placement.
Can a global bookkeeper handle US payroll and tax?
They can prepare and process, but the signing and filing responsibility stays with a US hire or your CPA. Most clients run a hybrid: global staff handle preparation and reconciliation volume, while a US seat owns filings and sign-off. That split keeps the volume work cheap without putting a filing obligation anywhere it does not belong.
How senior can a global finance hire be?
Senior. Our core markets have deep benches of qualified accountants, including candidates with US GAAP exposure and professional qualifications. Senior seats are quoted individually rather than at the entry rate, because experience at that level prices differently. We will tell you on the discovery call which seniority band your role sits in before you commit to a search.
How quickly can a finance hire start closing books?
Shortlist in 10 calendar days, onboarding in 21 days, and most bookkeepers own their first full close within two cycles. The variable is documentation quality on your side, not candidate capability, so we cover handover expectations before the search begins.
At what point should we hire in-house rather than use our accountant?
When you need the numbers between month ends. An external accountant produces compliant statements after the period closes, which is the wrong cadence for operating decisions. A bookkeeper on your team keeps the ledger current daily, and most companies make that move well before they think they need to.
Can one finance hire cover bookkeeping and reporting?
Early on, yes, and it is the most common first finance seat. The split comes when the reporting starts arriving late because transaction volume fills the week. At that point adding a bookkeeper underneath the analyst costs less than losing the analysis entirely.
