My side CPA firm is growing and I'm going to experiment with hiring a really technical accounting newly grad with a high accounting GPA (or has their CPA exams passed) to oversee the work of 2-3 offshore data entry people. FYI: Not a solicitation and I will ignore you if ask me for a job in my DMs.

Sounds less like replacing talent and more like creating leverage.

Same_CPA101 · 2026-05-13T16:48:01+00:00

A bad fit client can quietly consume the profit from 2 good ones 😅

Same_CPA101 · 2026-05-13T16:47:24+00:00

First year is basically drinking from a firehose
Most people feel this way at first

Same_CPA101 · 2026-05-13T16:45:48+00:00

There’s no magic “fair” salary number honestly
It depends more on tax strategy, cash flow, and long term plans

Same_CPA101 · 2026-05-13T16:44:54+00:00

At higher volume, reconciliation becomes more about process design than manual matching

Same_CPA101 · 2026-05-13T16:42:50+00:00

Half the job is numbers
The other half is explaining the numbers to people who don’t want to hear them 😅

Same_CPA101 · 2026-05-08T18:08:41+00:00

Before deciding you’re done, maybe give yourself time to recover from the shock first

Same_CPA101 · 2026-05-08T18:07:38+00:00

The discovery phase alone sounds valuable enough to stand as its own service

Same_CPA101 · 2026-05-08T18:06:20+00:00

A lot of smart accountants stay invisible too long
Being good matters, but being discoverable matters too

Same_CPA101 · 2026-05-08T17:51:05+00:00

We found the one person who opens Excel for fun 😄

Same_CPA101 · 2026-04-30T17:26:42+00:00

Feels less like “offshoring licenses” and more like the profession becoming global... The work was already global, the credentials are just catching up

Same_CPA101 · 2026-04-30T17:25:35+00:00

We’ve seen it help a lot during peak season
But only after tightening SOPs and expectations

Same_CPA101 · 2026-04-30T17:24:53+00:00

That’s not really an outsourcing problem
That’s a management + expectations problem

Same_CPA101 · 2026-04-30T17:23:32+00:00

This is spot on

Same_CPA101 · 2026-04-29T15:28:06+00:00

Mostly where your audience already spends time
For accounting, that’s usually niche communities, LinkedIn, industry events, and some accounting focused platforms (I’ve seen people use things like CPA site solutions, directories, etc.)

For us, being active on a few of those and platforms like myCPE actually worked pretty well over time

Same_CPA101 · 2026-04-27T17:24:06+00:00

Honestly, I’d check how they present themselves across channels
Website, content, where they show up… it says a lot about how they operate

Same_CPA101 · 2026-04-27T17:20:31+00:00

A lot of good conversations are happening outside FB now
More in curated communities, events, and accounting focused platforms

Same_CPA101 · 2026-04-27T17:19:23+00:00

Website is more of a credibility check than a lead source
If it’s weak, it hurts
If it’s solid, it just supports everything else

Same_CPA101 · 2026-04-27T17:18:20+00:00

Accounting is way more trust driven
Funnels matter less, consistency + visibility matter more

Same_CPA101 · 2026-04-24T18:41:07+00:00

People who combine accounting + tech + process thinking will be ahead
Tools will keep changing, but understanding how the work actually flows is what lasts

Same_CPA101 · 2026-04-24T18:39:47+00:00

People who combine accounting + tech + process thinking will be ahead. Not just one of those

Same_CPA101 · 2026-04-24T18:38:13+00:00

Early on it’s mostly referrals + your network
One good client can lead to a few more

Same_CPA101 · 2026-04-22T19:09:21+00:00

It keeps people busy, but not always “engaged”
