Acculink helps CPA and accounting firms build offshore teams in India. We provide trained accountants, bookkeepers, tax preparers, auditors, and admin staff who work exclusively for your firm — just like your in-house team.
While most of our clients are CPA and accounting firms, we also work with small and mid-sized businesses across industries such as real estate, healthcare, e-commerce, and manufacturing.
All team members work from our secure offices in India, equipped with restricted access, CCTV monitoring, VPNs, and encrypted systems. Work-from-home setups are allowed only with client approval and strict IT controls.
You can hire professionals for bookkeeping, accounting, taxation, payroll, audit, and admin support. Roles range from entry-level to senior managers — all pre-vetted for skill, communication, and U.S. work exposure.
Yes. Every staff member is trained in U.S. GAAP, IRS standards, and accounting software like QuickBooks, CCH, UltraTax, ProSystem fx, and Drake. Local Indian accounting experience isn't considered relevant for U.S. work.
Most of our team members have at least 3–5 years of professional experience, including 2–4 years working with U.S. clients or public accounting firms.
Yes. We have an in-house training division that conducts regular sessions on U.S. tax updates, accounting standards, software proficiency, communication, and American work culture.
Outsourcing means handing over your work to a vendor. Offshore staffing means hiring your own dedicated remote team — under your control, your tools, your process. We just handle HR, infrastructure, and compliance.
Our pricing starts from $8/hour, depending on role complexity and experience. Senior profiles such as tax reviewers, managers, or virtual CFOs are available at higher rates.
No. There are no setup or recruitment charges. You only pay once the staff starts working for you.
Billing is monthly, based on agreed hourly rates and number of staff. You'll receive detailed time logs and reports every month.
No. We believe in flexibility. Most clients start with a short-term engagement or our 40-hour free trial before deciding to scale.
Yes. You can test our services risk-free with a 40-hour free trial — interview, train, and evaluate the staff before making a commitment.
No hidden fees. Your rate covers salary, HR management, IT infrastructure, office facilities, and data security compliance.

We ensure overlapping working hours with U.S. time zones — 3–4 hours for non-client-facing roles and 6–7 hours for client-facing staff.
Absolutely. You can start with one or two staff and expand to a full department as your comfort and needs grow.
We handle replacements smoothly. During transition, the outgoing staff provides handover support at no extra charge.
You're under no obligation to hire. We'll provide more profiles until you find the right match.
