Why More Firms Are Outsourcing Accounting to India
Let’s get something straight—outsourcing isn’t just about lowering costs anymore. It’s about unlocking efficiency, accessing global talent, and scaling without sacrificing quality.
Here’s why so many firms are now outsourcing accounting to India

:
1. Massive Time & Cost Savings
With lower labor and infrastructure costs in India, outsourcing can cut expenses by 40–60% while maintaining U.S. standards.
2. Follow-the-Sun Model
Your offshore team works while you sleep. By the time you log in the next morning, your books are closed, reconciliations are done, and client files are ready.
3. High-Quality Talent
Indian accounting professionals are well-versed in U.S. GAAP, tax codes, and cloud accounting tools. Many firms now treat outsourced teams as an extension of their own.
4. Scalable On-Demand Staffing
Need help during tax season? Want to expand services without hiring full-time? Outsourcing provides the flexibility to grow without growing overhead.

With KMK & Associates LLP, we build customized accounting processes that integrate with your internal systems, giving you full visibility and control at every step.

The Accounting Manager:
Focuses on daily operations and execution. Their typical responsibilities include:

  Managing accounts payable and receivable
• 
  Overseeing bookkeepers or staff accountants
• 
  Ensuring month-end closes are timely
• 
  Preparing basic internal financial reports
  

Best for: Small to mid-sized firms that need strong operational support.
The Controller:
Takes a more strategic role. Responsibilities include:

• 
  Financial reporting and analysis

  Managing internal controls and audits
