Hire Offshore Accountants in Philippines

Our Account Manager and Resourcing specialist will get in touch with you and help you navigate the hiring of new staff members. They will send you a resume and move forward from there.

We have a good sourcing specialist team, and we only hire candidates with a minimum bachelor's degree and at least 1 year of experience in accounting and Tax (US/UK/CA). We don't hire complete freshers. We also check their records for references.

Replacement is more than easy. 1 out of 10 candidates requires replacement as per our internal survey. So replacement is not something abnormal; you can make a hiring mistake, or it can be some situation change from the firm or the employee.

The good thing about replacement with MYCPE ONE is every employee has a 3-month notice period. So in these 3 months, they have enough transition time for the new staff. Secondly, you don’t have to train them from scratch as you did on your onshore staff. You will not be charged for the additional 3 months.

We internally ask the outgoing staff to transfer duties and processes. However, our standards are high; our 1st Year attrition rate is 6%, 2nd Year attrition rate is 7%, and around 85% of our clients have staff who stay beyond 2 years. Our average retention is 5 Years.

As you know, offshore hiring is a long-term process, and adapting to a new system takes time. To ensure a smooth experience, we offer a two-week free-look-in period, allowing you to assess the hired staff before making a long-term commitment.

If you ever feel the need for a change, we provide a staff replacement option to match your specific requirements and ensure seamless operations. Additionally, we have a simple two-month notice period in case you decide not to continue. This allows you to close the contract without hassle while ensuring a smooth transition.

There are no long-term commitments. There is only a 2-month notice period, which we must pay the employee. There are no hidden/extra charges.

Yes, we will provide you with somebody with full overlap; however, that would cost extra because these people will work at midnight, and we have to provide them with night allowances. It would cost you $1 or $1.5 extra.

Whether local or offshore, staffing will always have little challenges, such as on-leave work accomplishments, staff management, training, staff learning and role, productivity, etc.

Since the last 3 years, we have seen a significant increase in client satisfaction as we introduce the role of “Account Manager.” However, offshore staff would work directly with you and under your control and management.

However, an Account Manager is like your HR offshore for your offshore staff or team. The account manager will endeavor to provide you with unbiased advice in the best interest of the firm and make building and managing the offshore team a successful and happy experience.

The chance of such a thing is very unlikely because a person is selected only after personally interviewing and checking the client's eligibility. However, in a rare scenario, if you wish not to continue working with staff already working for you, we will replace him/her. This process may take a maximum of 30 days.

Our hourly rates start at $11/hour, depending upon a few factors:

• The requirement of skillset and experience level
• Hiring model

We have a system of the weekly billing cycle.

Signing up can be done online, or you may print and send statements with the corresponding timesheets. To pay online, provide us with bank details so we can make an ACH transfer to your account. We usually send weekly bills and debit accordingly. We will inform you beforehand about the charges. Schedule a call.

We have a very flexible hiring model that works for public accounting firms of all sizes. According to clients' requirements that specify how long and how many hours per week they need staff, there are many options to choose from, such as permanent, temporary, seasonal, full-time, part-time, etc.

Yes, MYCPE ONE provides a temporary hiring option. In fact, MYCPE ONE’s hiring models are flexible to suit all the needs of accounting firms of all sizes.

No, there is no minimum commitment period for a particular staff member. Although there is a minimum contract of 3 months (with MYCPE ONE) in case of temporary and 6 months for a permanent hiring option, in the very unlikely event of a client not willing to continue working with selected staff, we replace him at a notice period of a maximum of 30 days. This does not involve any fees.

The normal shift/work time for full-time staff is structured to ensure 3–4 hours of overlap with US CPA firms.

If you require full US daytime overlap, this can be arranged under our offshore hiring Philippines for CPA firms model. Night shift allowances may apply depending on shift timing.

It takes 7 and 30 days to get staff onboard and start working for you. This time variance depends on the availability and skillset required in a candidate, as specified by a client.

No, we proceed with the interviews after signup. Here, you interview and test the candidate to check for his/her experience and qualifications before hiring. This can take at most 30 days. After this time, in an unlikely case, if you do not find any suitable candidate, you can inform us and ask to cancel the agreement.

Our internal HR and hiring process is rigorous, so we qualify as best as our clients expect.

This is how we create our own candidate pool before sharing resumes with potential clients. In addition, we have a signed agreement with each candidate that assures a long-term association with us and a pledge to keep office data confidential.

The attrition rate at MYCPE ONE has been below 10%. Our HR policies are robust, ensuring least gaps. Whenever a new employee joins, he signs a contract for at least 3 years of association. In special circumstances, sometimes we are allowed to leave earlier than that.

Also, MYCPE ONE is one of the preferred local employers because of our multiple facilities, including cab, medical insurance, meals at the office, regular recreation, and several other benefits to prolong the employer-employee association.

Yes, we offer a trial period to assess the offshore staff's performance, ensuring they meet your needs before you make a long-term commitment.

MYCPE ONE’s accounting staffing solutions offer comprehensive support including training sessions, regular check-ins, and dedicated account managers to ensure seamless integration of offshore staff into your operations.

An account manager will be your go-to person. He will help and guide clients in any situation. We advise that any non-routine, non-regular, or policy matter shall only be dealt with by the account manager and shall never be communicated directly to remote staff.

The account manager will help you with troubleshooting, pricing revisions, staff training, shift timings, leaves, and bonuses.

When you hire an offshore employee for accounting firms, your offshore staff reports directly to you. However, you want. We understand that you can’t afford to lose control. In outsourcing, you have to follow the vendor’s policies, but in offshore staffing, you have 100% control as the staff follows your firm’s policies, protocols, and workflow.

If you or any of your colleagues wish to learn more, let’s have a quick chat and discuss future possibilities.

Let me put it this way -

• You cannot simply outsource your Core Business function.
• Outsourcing entails creating a hiring vendor for ‘a team on-demand that works on an ad-hoc basis.
• As far as offshore staffing is concerned, you are hiring dedicated staff who work and directly report to you like local staff. If everything is set up nicely, you can expand, and your offshore remote team can greatly support your local A-team.
• Better still, they might also perform some core business functions if you don’t have enough capable people on site.

We have 100% confidence in our recruitment process. It rarely happens. Even if you don’t like anyone after taking interviews and tests. There is no cost to it. You will be billed only when your hired staff starts working for you.

Typically, when you first start with offshore staffing, you will integrate. We can do the exercise where you require your firm to list what tasks they can delegate.

We do not endorse whether remote staffing is better or outsourcing. Both of these things have their benefits. However, we do not recommend outsourcing for accounting and related tasks. Outsourcing can be used for non-core business operations that are not repetitive. If the same is done for the core operations, it may lead to poor quality work delivery and, consequently, can lose credibility in the business group.

On the other hand, when your staff is working on your tasks, you can supervise him/her, leaving a lesser chance of fatal errors. It is impossible when you outsource as you are assigned an account manager who might not know who is working on the task. Your staff also learns on the job and, with experience, only gets better, which is ultimately great for your firm in the long run.

No, we are not an outsourcing company. Instead, we are a comprehensive ecosystem designed to empower CPAs and accounting firms with a comprehensive suite of services – all in one place. As a strategic platform, MYCPE ONE offers services that include outsourcing, staffing, building captives, continuing education, digital marketing, M&A advisory, and industry insights to support firms in delivering exceptional value to their clients.

People usually misunderstand offshore staffing and outsourcing, whereas they are two different things. Outsourcing is good for carrying out non-core or one-time services, while it could give inconsistent results in core business operations. On the other hand, having an offshore staff saves from this risk as the work is always carried out under your supervision, which is a rarity in outsourced services.

Yes, you can. It is an optimum choice as it will significantly benefit your business in terms of pricing, scalability, and focus on core aspects.

Finance and Accounting Outsourcing is a valuable option for firms looking for growth and scalability. This gives you access to a team with specialized expertise who offloads your routine tasks so that you can focus completely on the growth of the firm.

Various accounting services of a firm that can be offshored to a partner are offshore accounting services. It includes Bookkeeping, Audit, Tax Accountant, Accountants, and more.

At MYCPE ONE, we help you build offshore CAS teams that are skilled, reliable, and aligned to your firm’s needs. Whether you’re scaling up or simply looking to reduce onshore workload, you can opt for outsourced accounting services to deburden your workload.

The Philippines has emerged as a global hub for finance, accounting, and BPO services, with a strong English-speaking workforce and US-aligned business culture.

Many multinational companies operate finance shared service centers in Manila and other key cities. This ecosystem allows us to build strong offshore accounting Philippines teams for US firms.

Even local hiring carries risk. The difference here is structured screening, US accounting training, and replacement assurance.

As per our survey, 6 out of 10 failures are caused by a lack of integration. We have seen many firms start with offshore staffing but either give up on it or lose a good onshore employee on their journey toward building an offshore team.

Both situations are unfortunate, and we have encountered them often and largely because the onshore team starts feeling insecure as soon as firms start hiring offshore staff. We need to manage this with the 4 C’s for a successful onshore and offshore team working towards a common goal, which is “Firm’s Betterment & Well Being.”

Typically it does not happen, however, we want to be flexible because when we hire someone we take the commitment that you need to work on this shift timing, when they say okay, then only he gets signed up. Staff can accomplish your shift timing on occasion situations or deadlines as any staff would do. However, changing permanently would not be the right thing.

Staff completes timesheets daily to indicate the completion of their tasks and the time taken to attempt them. MYCPE ONE has its own online timesheet as a standard, which employees generally fill in and send to their respective employers. However, if a firm has its own timesheet format and wants its employees to make entries into it, we approve it.

By reviewing these timesheets, you can transparently monitor the performance and output of your staff.

Apart from that, every employee has a separate US contact number where you can speak using your telephone/mobile phone. We also provide them with email addresses. If you need any other means of communication, you may specify that to us, and we can try to arrange it.

However, the internet on every computer is under limited usage and does not allow personal email access, social networking, and other websites, so sensitive data shared with employees is always safe and secure inside our premises.

There are a number of convenient methods to communicate with your remote staff.

• Telephone: Every employee has a dedicated USA telephone number with which to connect.

We allow it after risk assessment.
