Outsourced Bookkeeping For CPAs
The US accounting and auditing workforce has fallen to 653,408 licensed professionals as of last year, down from 1.93 million at its peak in 2019. The decline is coming on the exact roles regional CPA firms are trying hardest to fill. The pipeline isn’t recovering fast enough to solve your capacity problem through hiring.
The firms growing through this are doing something different. They’re outsourcing the execution-heavy bookkeeping work that their CPAs are too qualified and too expensive to be doing. FINITAC is built to solve this specific problem for you. We handle your clients’ bookkeeping, GL maintenance, reconciliations, payroll postings, and monthly closings with precision.

The Capacity Math That’s Breaking CPA Firms Right Now
A 12-person regional CPA firm is managing 80 business clients. Bookkeeping for those clients includes transaction coding, reconciliations, payroll posting, GL maintenance, and month-end close packages, which require approximately 6 to 10 hours per client per month.
That’s 480 to 800 hours of bookkeeping work per month, distributed across a team that also handles tax prep and client communication. A senior accountant bills at $180 per hour for doing bookkeeping work, which means he’s producing revenue at 40% of their capacity.
The work gets done, but it’s costing you time and money. The solution? Outsource bookkeeping to us so your professionals can spend their hours on the work that requires a CPA.

What FINITAC’s Outsourced Bookkeeping for CPA Firms Covers
FINITAC Understands What CPA Firms Need From a Bookkeeping Partner
Most CPA firms have tried outsourced bookkeeping before. The reason many have moved away from it isn’t that outsourcing doesn’t work; it’s that most outsourced bookkeeping services aren’t built for how CPA firms operate. Below are the common problems CPAs usually face with outsourced bookkeepers:
- Quality that requires more review than doing it in-house. If your CPA has to re-do significant portions of an outsourced deliverable before they can use it, you haven’t outsourced the work; you’ve added a step.
- No communication when something is unclear. When a transaction doesn’t have enough context to code correctly, the right response is to ask, not to make a judgment call that your CPA discovers during review.
- Turnaround that doesn’t fit your close timeline. If your clients’ close packages arrive on the 25th of the following month, they’re not useful for tax deadlines or client advisory calls.
- No continuity when staff changes. An offshore team where a different person handles your client’s books each month is a risk.
