Client Testimonials

What Leading Firms Say About Acculink

Trusted by CPA firms across the United States for exceptional offshore bookkeeping services

"When we started with Acculink, it was one staff. Two months later, we had five. It just worked."

When I first heard about offshore staffing, I was hesitant. We hired one person just to test. Within weeks, I realized these folks worked like they were sitting right here in Austin. The English, the response time, the work ethic – everything was on point. Now I have a five-person team, and honestly, I should've done this earlier.

Managing Partner, CPA Firm, Austin, TX
Managing Partner, CPA Firm, Austin, TX

"The first tax season with Acculink felt like we finally had breathing room after years of chaos."

We onboarded two preparers right before tax season – risky move, I know. But it went smoother than I imagined. They picked up our process quickly, stayed late during crunch time, and got our 1120s and 1040s cleaned up fast. No chasing, no confusion. They just got it done.

Tax Director, Tax Firm, Chicago, IL
Tax Director, Tax Firm, Chicago, IL

"Audit workpapers came in crisp, reviews were faster, and I didn't have to recheck basic things."

I remember thinking, can offshore staff really handle audits? Turns out, yes. My team in India now handles the tie-outs, sampling, and admin parts of every engagement. They're detailed, polite, and quick. I trust them completely now, and my local team finally has weekends again.

Audit Partner, CPA Firm, Philadelphia, PA

"We plugged them into our SOPs, and they ran with it. I barely had to explain twice."

Our accounting workflow used to be all over the place. Acculink's folks synced right into our Notion boards and QuickBooks system. They followed the process, asked smart questions, and within weeks, they were managing AR and AP independently. It's like they've always been part of us.

"I thought communication would be a problem, but they talk like my own staff and get stuff done."

We hired two offshore accountants for bookkeeping and tax prep. What surprised me most was how easy they are to talk to. They ask before assuming, they send updates without me chasing, and their English is really good. I feel like I've got another branch of my firm, not contractors.

Partner, CPA Firm, CA

"I went from doing everything myself to leading a real team. Acculink made it possible."

I was a solo CPA, drowning during deadlines. Acculink helped me onboard a three-member team within a month. They learned our clients, synced calendars, and started handling all recurring bookkeeping. My stress level dropped like 80%. I now spend time with clients, not spreadsheets.

Managing Partner, Accounting Firm, Phoenix, AZ

"They caught mistakes before I did. That's when I knew they weren't just task-doers."

We got help with sales tax and nexus analysis. At first, I checked every file twice. After two weeks, I stopped. They knew what to flag and when to escalate. I can't imagine going back to managing all 40 states alone.

SALT Principal, CPA Firm, New York, NY

"We used to close books two weeks late. Now it's two days early. That says everything."

My CAS team runs smoother now. Acculink handles reconciliations, AP, and dashboards overnight. When I log in, everything's updated. I spend mornings on advisory calls instead of cleanup. They've truly changed how we operate.

"They understand accounting, not just data entry. That's what made the difference."

I didn't want offshore staff just clicking boxes. I wanted people who understood materiality and testing logic. The Acculink team proved that. They read instructions, ask about assertions, and their documentation holds up in peer review. It's solid work.

"Our K-1s came out on time for the first time in years. I actually enjoyed this season."

We hired two tax staff offshore and I'll be honest, I didn't expect much. But they delivered organized workpapers, ran depreciation correctly, and even caught errors in prior-year files. It was refreshing to have that level of ownership from day one.

Managing Shareholder, Tax Firm, Dallas, TX

"Onboarding was unbelievably smooth. Within two weeks, our offshore team was running like they'd always been here."

We started small, just one staff for trial. The onboarding call was crisp, documentation simple, and the Acculink team handled setup end-to-end. Within days they were working inside our system, joining meetings, and updating trackers. It didn't feel outsourced at all; it felt like we hired someone local.

Managing Partner, CPA Firm, Boston, MA

"We got our first return reviewed and ready in half the usual time. Turnaround blew us away."

I'm used to reviewers getting bottlenecked during season. With Acculink, things just moved faster. Files came back reviewed, flagged neatly, and ready for final sign-off. Communication was crisp. We easily cleared 40% more returns this year, and nobody burned out.

Senior Tax Manager,  Accounting Firm, San Francisco, CA
Senior Tax Manager, Accounting Firm, San Francisco, CA

"We tried their 40-hour free service — ended up signing a long-term contract right after."

I'll admit I was skeptical. We took their trial just to see what happens. By the end of the first week, they had reconciled two clients' books and cleaned up a year-old mess. That trial sold me. We signed two full-time staff immediately. It was the best zero-cost decision I've made.

Partner, Accounting Firm, Miami, FL
Partner, Accounting Firm, Miami, FL

"They overlap 3–4 hours every day, so it feels like we're working side by side."

The best part is the timing. When we start our day, they're already halfway through. We have that golden 3–4 hour overlap to review and talk live. It's smooth. We hand off work in the evening, and it's done by the time we wake up. It's like doubling our day without doubling our cost.

Director, Accounting Firm, New York, NY
Director, Accounting Firm, New York, NY

"Data security was our biggest fear — until we visited their setup. It's rock solid."

We deal with sensitive financials, so confidentiality is everything. Acculink's access controls, VPN setup, and daily logs gave me confidence from day one. We even tested file transfers and compliance before onboarding. I've seen Big 4 setups, this is just as good, maybe better.

Audit Partner, CPA Firm, Denver, CO
Audit Partner, CPA Firm, Denver, CO

"The profiles they sent were all experienced, sharp, and actually knew the forms we use."

We specifically asked for people with prior U.S. tax prep exposure. The shortlist came back in 24 hours with resumes that fit perfectly. During interviews, they talked through real cases — not textbook stuff. We hired two seniors, and they hit the ground running from day one.

Tax Partner, CPA Firm, Dallas, TX
Tax Partner, CPA Firm, Dallas, TX

"They even have a pipeline for fresher talent that we can train and grow our way."

We were hesitant about hiring freshers offshore, but Acculink's training model changed that. Their rookies already knew the basics, depreciation, workpapers, reconciliations. We built our own mini-bench overseas that grows with us. It's like having our own hiring funnel without the hassle.

"Reviewing used to take forever. Now my offshore reviewers handle first pass and save me hours daily."

We trained two Acculink staff for review prep. They now catch common issues, missing W-2s, mismatched balances, depreciation gaps, before the file hits me. My review time per return dropped from 40 minutes to under 20. That's real productivity.

Review Partner, CPA Firm, Chicago, IL
Review Partner, CPA Firm, Chicago, IL

"We've officially moved our entire tax prep to India, and it runs smoother than our U.S. setup."

We were nervous shifting 100% of prep offshore. Acculink guided us step-by-step — security, workflow, training, everything. Our India team now handles prep, data entry, and first review. U.S. team just finalizes and communicates with clients. We deliver more returns with half the stress.

Senior Partner, CPA Firm, Seattle, WA

"Hiring through Acculink was faster than any recruiter I've used in the U.S."

We told them exactly what we needed, one senior accountant, one bookkeeper. Within five days we had resumes, interviews, and both were onboarded. The process felt organized and human. They checked in daily for the first two weeks. It's rare to see that kind of follow-through.

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.
