Big 4 firms, investment banks, and public financial companies recruit from the same talent pool mid-size practices need, at pay most firms cannot match.
Outside the city the same squeeze holds: firms win work faster than they can hire, and every departure resets the clock and the cost.
New York firms that move to outsourced accounting with Acculink cut staffing costs by 60 to 70 percent, without giving up quality, turnaround, or data security. Our 300+ professionals integrate into your existing workflow and operate on your schedule.
The most common way New York firms work with Acculink is the dedicated staffing model: one professional, accountant, tax preparer, bookkeeper, or payroll expert, who works only for your firm, in your workflow, under your supervision.
Each hire is matched to your return volume, bookkeeping complexity, software, and client industries.
PTET advisory and quarterly estimates, coordinated NYC-resident filings, and complex workpapers for hedge funds and real estate entities. This is recurring, layered work, and a dedicated professional carries client-level knowledge forward quarter to quarter.

For a firm carrying multiple positions in a NYC cost environment, outsourced accounting typically pays for itself within the first quarter.
New York runs one of the most layered tax environments in the country. That volume of structured, rules-based prep is exactly where a dedicated team pays off.
Prepared at the city’s 3.078% to 3.876% resident rates, coordinated with the state and federal returns.
Entity calc, quarterly estimates, and the owner-level credit prepared for eligible S-corps and partnerships, with the March 15 election tracked.
Unincorporated Business Tax prepared at 4% for NYC partnerships and sole proprietors, plus the NYC Business Corporation Tax for C-corps alongside the state corporate return.
Calculated within standard New York payroll for employers in the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District.
Your dedicated team works these on the current forms and rates; the filing decisions and sign-off stay with your licensed CPAs.
Compliance
Sharing client data with any outside team triggers specific obligations. Here’s how Acculink operates within each framework that applies to New York firms.
Written client consent is required before return information goes to a provider outside the US, even your own supervised staff (26 CFR 301.7216-2(c)(2)). Acculink supplies ready-to-use §7216 consent templates at onboarding.
Requires reasonable safeguards for any business handling private information of NY residents, wherever located. Acculink’s SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2013 audited infrastructure exceeds that standard.
NYDFS-regulated clients face third-party data rules under 23 NYCRR 500. Acculink supports your firm, never contacts those clients, and provides its SOC 2 report, ISO certificate, and DPA for their due diligence.
NY CPAs may use offshore support provided the licensed firm keeps supervisory responsibility for all work. Acculink staff never file returns, contact clients, or represent your firm; every deliverable is reviewed and approved by your CPAs.
