Virtual assistants for accounting firms

Firms scale margins by moving processing offshore. Dedicated bookkeepers, accountants and payroll staff handle the recurring work in your stack, so your onshore team focuses on advisory and review.

Every placement is recruited, employed and managed by us and backed by our zero-risk promise: no placement fee, money-back first week, free replacement.

Questions

Frequently asked

Will they work under our supervision as part of the practice?
Yes — they're your team member, not an outsourced job-lot sent away and returned. They work in your practice software, in your workflow, under your review, on the recurring processing that fills a graduate's day: bank reconciliations, workpaper preparation, BAS and IAS prep, ATO correspondence chasing, client onboarding and data collection. Lodgement, advice and sign-off stay with your licensed staff — nothing changes about your professional obligations.
How do you handle client confidentiality and PI cover?
Every placement signs an NDA and confidentiality clause before day one and works inside your systems, so client files never leave your environment. Practically, they're treated exactly as you'd treat a remote graduate: named user, permissions you set, revocable instantly. It's worth telling your PI insurer you use offshore support staff under supervision — most have no issue with it, but the conversation is better had upfront than at claim time.
How much does it cost?
From $14/hr + GST for a full-time, dedicated team member — roughly $29K a year against $95K–$115K all-in for the local equivalent once you add super, leave, payroll tax, software and a desk. No placement fee, no setup fee, no recruitment retainer: you pay from the day they start, for hours worked. Interviewing candidates costs nothing. Run your numbers →
How fast can we start?
Typically 14 days from your discovery call to day one. In the first week we source and screen against your brief; you get three matched profiles and interview whoever you like. Once you choose, we handle the offer, the contract, equipment and connectivity checks, and induct them on our side before they reach you. Specialist roles — developers, NDIS claims, anything needing niche software — can take a week longer, because we won't pad a shortlist just to hit a date.
What if it's not the right fit?
You're covered twice over. If it's clearly wrong by day five, your first week is refunded in full. After that, a free replacement any time — new shortlist, new interviews, no second fee, because there was never a first one. Before it gets that far, talk to us: our HR manager will work through it with you and the team member, since most problems turn out to be an unclear process rather than the wrong person, and a fortnight of coaching usually fixes it. Replacing someone is the last resort, not the first move.
Is there a minimum term?
Three months, then month to month. It's the same runway you'd give a new local hire to learn your systems, your clients and your standards — and the team members who get a fair run are the ones who stay for years. There are no exit penalties at any point, and if the issue is the person rather than the role, the first-week refund and free replacement cover that separately.
How do you handle confidentiality?
The same way you'd treat any remote team member. Every placement signs an NDA and a confidentiality clause before day one, and they work inside your systems — your email, your CRM, your file storage — so you control what they can see and can revoke access instantly. No client data is stored on our side.
