Move routine accounting off your plate, without losing control

Back office accounting outsourcing is the practice of delegating day-to-day financial operations (accounts payable, accounts receivable, bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, payroll processing, and financial reporting) to a dedicated offshore team supervised by certified public accountants. Companies that outsource accounting back office functions typically reduce processing costs by 60 to 70% compared to maintaining a full in-house accounting department. At Acelerar, our accounting BPO services are built for CPA firms, mid-market businesses, and fast-growing startups that need reliable, audit-ready financials without the overhead of hiring, training, and managing a local team. Every engagement is staffed with experienced accountants trained on cloud platforms like QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, and Sage, and supervised by a CPA who reviews deliverables before they reach you.

End-to-end back office accounting services

Accounts Payable & Receivable

Our AP/AR specialists manage the full cycle, from invoice capture and 3-way matching to collections follow-up and cash application. We process vendor invoices within 24 hours, route approvals electronically, and schedule payments to capture early-pay discounts. On the receivable side, we generate invoices, track aging, send reminders, and reconcile customer payments against open balances to keep your cash flow healthy.

Bookkeeping & Reconciliation

Accurate books are the foundation of every financial decision. Our bookkeepers record daily transactions, categorize expenses to the correct GL accounts, and reconcile every bank and credit card statement monthly. We catch duplicate entries, misclassified expenses, and missing transactions before they compound into costly errors at month-end or during audits.

Payroll Processing

Payroll errors erode employee trust faster than almost anything else. Our payroll team processes semi-monthly and biweekly payroll runs, calculates withholdings, prepares pay stubs, and maintains compliance with federal and state tax requirements. We handle new-hire setup, termination calculations, PTO accruals, and year-end W-2 and 1099 preparation, all reviewed by a CPA before submission.

Financial Reporting

Timely, accurate financial reports give you the visibility to make confident decisions. We prepare monthly P&L statements, balance sheets, cash flow reports, and custom management dashboards tailored to your KPIs. Reports are delivered by the 10th of every month and include variance analysis against budget so you know exactly where you stand. No surprises at quarter-end.

What changes when your accounting back office runs on autopilot

65% Cost Savings vs. In-House

A full-time U.S. accountant costs $55K to $75K per year in salary and benefits. Our back office accounting teams deliver the same output at a fraction of the cost, with no recruitment fees, no PTO liability, and no turnover risk.

CPA-Supervised Deliverables

Every deliverable, from monthly close packages to payroll runs, is reviewed by a U.S.-licensed CPA before it reaches you. This second layer of oversight catches errors that single-accountant setups routinely miss.

Trained on Your Cloud Platform

Our accountants are pre-certified on QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and FreshBooks. There's no learning curve when your team starts. They're productive from day one inside the tools you already use.

Month-End Close in 5 Business Days

Our standardized close checklist and parallel processing workflow compress month-end close from the typical 15 to 20 business days to five. You get accurate financials while the numbers are still relevant.

Audit-Ready Documentation

Every journal entry, reconciliation, and report is documented with supporting detail and stored in a shared workspace. When auditors arrive, the backup is already organized, saving weeks of preparation time.

Scale Up or Down Anytime

Need extra hands during tax season or year-end close? Scale your team from one to ten accountants with 7 days’ notice. Scale back when the surge passes. You only pay for the capacity you use.

Back Office Accounting Outsourcing FAQs

Back office accounting outsourcing is the practice of delegating routine financial operations (including accounts payable, accounts receivable, bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, payroll, and financial reporting) to a dedicated external team. The outsourced accountants work inside your existing software and follow your chart of accounts, while a CPA reviews every deliverable before it reaches you.
Virtually every transactional and recurring accounting function can be outsourced: AP and AR processing, daily bookkeeping, bank and credit card reconciliation, payroll runs, month-end close, financial statement preparation, budgeting support, and audit preparation. Strategic functions like CFO advisory and tax planning typically remain in-house or with your CPA firm.
A dedicated back office accountant through Acelerar costs approximately $18,000 per year, compared to $55,000 to $75,000 for an equivalent in-house hire when you include salary, benefits, taxes, and overhead. Most clients save 60 to 70% on their accounting labor costs while getting CPA-supervised quality and built-in backup coverage.
Yes. Acelerar is ISO 27001 certified and maintains SOC 2 Type II compliance. All team members sign NDAs, access is limited through role-based permissions in your accounting platform, and we support multi-factor authentication. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we conduct regular security audits.
Most accounting teams are fully operational within 7 business days. During onboarding, we review your chart of accounts, document your workflows and approval chains, set up platform access, and run parallel processing on a sample batch to validate accuracy before going live.
Our accountants are pre-certified on QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Xero, Sage 50 and Intacct, NetSuite, FreshBooks, Wave, and Microsoft Dynamics. We also work with payroll platforms like ADP, Gusto, and Paychex. If you use a niche platform, we’ll train our team on it during the onboarding period at no extra cost.
Every engagement is assigned a CPA supervisor who reviews deliverables, monitors accuracy metrics, and serves as your escalation point. You also receive a dedicated account manager who handles scheduling, communication, and capacity planning. This dual-layer oversight ensures consistent quality month after month.
Absolutely. Many clients start with a single function (accounts payable outsourcing or payroll processing, for example) and expand as they gain confidence. Our modular service model lets you outsource any combination of accounting back office functions and add or remove services as your needs change.
We follow a standardized close checklist that includes reconciling all bank and credit card accounts, posting accruals and adjusting entries, reviewing the trial balance, preparing financial statements, and delivering a close package by the 10th of the following month. Parallel processing across team members compresses the typical 15 to 20 day close to five business days.
Three things set us apart: CPA supervision on every engagement (not just senior accounts), pre-certified teams on your specific platform so there’s zero ramp-up time, and a 7-day deployment guarantee. We also include built-in backup coverage. If your primary accountant is unavailable, a cross-trained team member steps in immediately so deadlines are never missed.
