MYCPE ONE is an accountancy outsourcing partner that helps UK accounting firms build dedicated offshore teams for bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, year-end accounts, Self Assessment and Corporation Tax work.
Our trained offshore accountants work from delivery centres in India, the Philippines, and the Mexico, on your software, in your processes and under your review. The result is simple. More capacity, steadier margins and partners who get their evenings back.
As a team that has spent years inside CPA and accounting firm workflows across the US, Canada and the UK, we have seen one pattern repeat. Firms don't struggle because the work is hard. They struggle because there aren't enough hands to do it. If you are new to the model, our Guide to Outsourcing Accounting Services for UK Accounting Firms (2026) covers the basics.
Let's be honest about the pressure. Recruitment is slow. Salaries keep rising. Good juniors often leave for industry after two years. Meanwhile, client expectations only move in one direction.
The data backs this up. In ICAEW research with managing partners of mid-tier firms, two-thirds named recruiting qualified staff as one of their biggest talent challenges, and 60% pointed to retention.
Then there is Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. It became mandatory from 6 April 2026 for sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000, and the threshold drops to £30,000 from April 2027. More clients now need quarterly digital updates, not one return a year.
Many firms still handle hiring the old way. Post a job advert and wait. It's a bit like Field of Dreams. Build it and they will come. Except in today's market, they often don't.
Hoping for the right hire is not a staffing strategy. A planned offshore team is.
MYCPE ONE is a multi-service platform built for accounting and CPA firms and businesses. We started by solving talent problems for practices, and we still keep that focus today.
For UK firms, we provide Offshore Staffing for UK Accounting Firms: dedicated professionals who work as an extension of your team. They are not a shared pool. They are your people, working agreed overlap hours with your team and following your checklists.

Think about the 31 January Self Assessment deadline. By mid-January, most practices hit their own Apollo 13 moment. Houston, we have a problem. Too many returns, too few people and no time to fix it.
Here's a realistic scenario. A 12-person practice in Manchester carries 600 Self Assessment clients. Every January, partners work weekends and returns still slip. With two offshore tax preparers added in October, the team starts drafting returns early. By January, the in-house team is reviewing, not scrambling.
The numbers tell the same story. Firms that outsource often report staffing cost savings of 40% to 70% compared to local hiring, depending on role and seniority. That saving is not just cost. It is capacity you can reinvest in advisory work.
This is usually the first question, and it should be. Client trust is the whole business.
We build security into every engagement:
Your AML and professional standards obligations remain with your firm. Our job is to support them, not dilute them. If you are comparing providers, our guide on How to Choose the Right Tax Offshoring Partner for Your UK Accounting Firm lists the questions worth asking.
We often assume offshore means disconnected. In practice, the best teams feel no different from a colleague working remotely.
Our onboarding keeps things calm and structured:
Most firms start with one or two roles. Once the rhythm settles, they add more. Scaling slowly is a strength, not a weakness. It gives trust time to build.
The talent gap in UK accountancy is not going away soon. Firms that plan for it now will grow steadily. Firms that wait will keep fighting the same fire every January.
Finding the right talent is becoming more challenging than ever, especially in a world where firms increasingly need professionals who are not just technically strong, but also AI-savvy and adaptable to modern workflows.
At MYCPE ONE, we help CPA firms, accounting firms, businesses and enterprises build high-quality offshore teams across accounting, tax, audit, advisory, back-office functions, digital marketing, sales, IT, tech and several other functions. If you'd like to explore more, schedule a call with us.
Accountancy outsourcing means delegating accounting, tax and bookkeeping tasks to a trained external team. For UK firms, this often means dedicated offshore accountants who prepare VAT returns, payroll, year-end accounts and Self Assessment work. The firm keeps full control of review and client relationships. It is not about handing over the practice. It is about adding capacity without the cost and delay of local hiring. Most firms use it to handle routine compliance so their in-house team can focus on advisory work and higher-value client conversations.
Yes. At MYCPE ONE, our offshore accountants are trained on UK compliance, including HMRC requirements, VAT, RTI payroll, Companies House filings and Making Tax Digital. Training continues after onboarding, so your team learns your specific processes, templates and review standards. Many team members already have experience with UK software such as IRIS, TaxCalc and Xero. You also interview candidates yourself, so you can test their UK knowledge before they join your team.
Savings depend on the role, seniority and hours required. Firms commonly report staffing cost reductions of 40% to 70% compared to hiring locally in the UK. Beyond salary, firms also save on recruitment fees, office space, equipment and staff turnover costs. The bigger value is often capacity. When routine work moves to an offshore team, partners and managers get time back for advisory work, business development and client relationships, which usually earn higher fees.
It should be, if the provider is set up properly. MYCPE ONE works with UK GDPR-aligned processes, signed data processing agreements, NDAs and background-checked staff. Our teams access data through your own systems using secure connections and role-based permissions. Files are not stored on personal devices. Your firm remains the data controller and keeps its AML and professional obligations. We recommend every firm reviews a provider's security policies in detail before starting.
