Honest Fit Check

When NOT to hire — an honest take.

Our accountants prepare statements, manage the close, and support reporting — but the role sits between bookkeeping and a CPA, not above it.

  • You only need day-to-day transaction recording — that's a bookkeeper; an accountant is more (and more cost) than you need.
  • You need tax filing, audit, or signed opinions — those require a licensed CPA; our accountants prepare clean, audit-ready books.
  • It's a one-time cleanup — a dedicated accountant pays off on ongoing close and reporting, not a single project.
FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

Common questions about hiring remote accountants through Zedtreeo.

What accounting software do your accountants use?
QuickBooks Online/Desktop, Xero, Sage, FreshBooks, Wave, and NetSuite. They also work with bill payment platforms (Bill.com), payroll systems (Gusto, ADP), and expense management tools (Dext, Expensify).
Can your accountant handle US tax preparation?
Yes. Our accountants prepare individual and business tax returns — 1040, 1120, 1120-S, 1065, 990. They work under CPA supervision and handle quarterly estimates, W-2/1099 processing, and state tax filings.
Do your accountants understand US GAAP?
Yes. Our accountants are trained in US GAAP — revenue recognition (ASC 606), lease accounting (ASC 842), financial statement preparation, and compliance reporting. They also work with IFRS for international clients.
Can your accountant handle multi-entity bookkeeping?
Yes. Our mid-level and senior accountants manage multi-entity financials — intercompany transactions, consolidated reporting, multi-currency accounting, and entity-specific compliance requirements.
How do you vet accountants?
Every candidate completes a 6-stage screening: credential verification (CA, CMA, or equivalent), accounting knowledge test (GAAP, reconciliation, financial statements), software proficiency assessment, AI tool test, English assessment, and cultural fit interview.
Can your accountant work with my CPA firm?
Yes. Our accountants collaborate directly with your CPA, CFO, or controller — preparing work papers, supporting audits, responding to information requests, and maintaining organized records in your preferred format.
⌬ The economics

Why our rates are lower — and sustainable.

It isn't a discount or a race to the bottom. The gap is a structural macroeconomic one — and our specialists earn competitive local wages while you pay a fraction.

🌍

Wage arbitrage

The same skill is priced very differently by geography. We recruit from India's deep talent pool and place specialists with businesses globally — so you get the skill without the highest-wage market's price tag.

💱

Currency + cost of living

Nominal FX is ~₹95.5/$ — but in purchasing-power terms $1 buys only ~₹22 of goods in India. That ~4× gap is structural and permanent, not a discount that erodes.

🧮

Eliminated overhead

No US benefits load (~30%), office, equipment, software seats, or recruiting fees (15–25% of first-year pay). One transparent rate absorbs the lot.

RoleUS in-house*ZedtreeoYou save
Software developer~$85/hr$8–10/hr~88%
Digital marketer~$42/hr$6–8/hr~83%
Bookkeeper / accountant~$32/hr$6–8/hr~78%
Medical biller / RCM~$32/hr$6–8/hr~78%
Virtual assistant / admin~$30/hr$5–6/hr~82%
Customer support~$26/hr$5–6/hr~79%
Architectural drafter*~$50/hr$18/hr~55%

*US figures = BLS (May 2024) median wage plus ~30–35% benefits & overhead, per hour. Architectural drafting is a specialized production tier priced above the $5–10 base, so its savings run lower. Most roles save 70–90% versus comparable local hires.

Where the savings actually come from

~₹95 exchange rate
~₹22 real buying power
≈4× gap

A dollar trades at ~₹95 — but inside India it buys what ~₹22 buys here. That ~4× gap between the exchange rate and real cost of living is the engine, not a discount— and it's only widened for a decade. Our specialists earn a strong wage for their market; you pay less because of the currency gap and eliminated overhead, never because anyone's underpaid or the work is cut-rate.
