A nearshore accounting team.
Built for US companies.
Remote Accounting Team is a Colombian company providing outsourced accounting services and dedicated accounting staff to US businesses, through a global team with an emphasis on Latin America.
Why teams work with us
- Work lands on the agreed date. The close, the reconciliations and the reports follow the calendar we set with you at the start. You do not chase us for them.
- Experienced people. Our senior accountants have 8 to 25 years of accounting experience each, much of it on US companies' books at established accounting firms. You do not train them on the basics.
- Detail checked before you see it. Balances tie to support, entries carry their documentation, and work is reviewed on our side before it reaches you.
- Easy to work with. One accountable contact owns the outcome and answers your questions in English, during your business day. You never manage a hand-off.
- No wasted hours. Each task goes to the level it needs, so you pay for the work done, not for seniority it did not need.
- Staff from the right region. We have hired and managed accounting staff in the US, Latin America, India and the Philippines. Knowing which work to place where, and who to hire for it, is part of what you get from us.
- Certified work when you need it. When a client or a job requires certified work, such as a CPA's sign-off, we provide it through our global network of licensed professionals.
- You keep control. Your systems, your approvals, your records. We prepare; you release and decide.
How we work with your team
We are an outside provider that works like part of your team. In practice:
- We learn how your company runs. Who approves what, how sales passes billing to accounting, which vendors call about late payments. We work directly with your managers and your other vendors, not only through you.
- We work to enable you to reach your business objectives. We start from what you need the numbers for, such as a close you can make decisions from, and make sure our work is never the bottleneck. We go beyond the agreed minimum when it helps: if a faster approval flow or a report your managers will use would add value, we bring it to you.
- We own the deliverables. What we agree to deliver is ours. If a reconciliation does not tie, we find out why before it reaches you.
- We work your hours, in English. The team covers full US business hours, and client-facing roles work in English.
- Terms are set before work starts. You contract directly with Remote Accounting Team. Scope, review and oversight responsibilities are agreed before the first day.
Two ways to hire us
- Hire us for a role (staff augmentation). A dedicated accountant, from bookkeeper to controller, joins your team full time and works under your management, at a published monthly starting price. See dedicated accounting roles.
- Hire us for a service (outsourced accounting). Tell us the job, such as the monthly close or payables. We scope the need, quote the price and set up the right roles, full-time or fractional, dedicated or shared, in the most cost-effective mix that gets the job done. See outsourced accounting services.
The right person for each task
Each task goes to the level it needs: a clerk for invoice entry, a staff accountant for reconciliations, a senior accountant or controller for the close review. You do not pay senior rates for routine work, and routine staff do not own work above their level.
Our team has hands-on experience working with accounting staff in the US, Latin America, India and the Philippines. We coordinate from Colombia, where we recruit and supervise experienced accountants from across Latin America who know how US companies operate and work full US business hours. They are bilingual, and client-facing roles work in English. When your account needs certified CPAs or US-based staff, we add US partners; for high-volume operational tasks, we can add a team in India.
The US, Latin America, the Philippines or India?
Each has a place, and the right mix depends on the work. If the lowest hourly rate is the priority, providers in India or the Philippines cost less, and we are not the cheapest option. For most US companies we staff from Latin America: experienced, bilingual accountants who work your full business day, in English, and know how US companies operate. When your account needs certified CPAs or US-based staff, we add US partners; they cost more, so we use them where the work requires it. For high-volume operational tasks where cost matters most, we can add a team in India.
Who we serve
We work with US companies with up to $15 million in annual revenue. Owner-led companies often need a managed close or dedicated transaction support. Larger finance teams may need a specific role, readiness project, or broader accounting function.
We do not process payroll, prepare tax returns, issue audit opinions or deliver audited financial statements.
Our working principles
- Assess before prescribing: We review the books and scope cleanup only if it is needed.
- Define ownership: Responsibilities, review points, and handoffs are agreed before work begins.
- Confirm capacity: Availability and start dates are checked before commitment.
- Stay accountable: One client-facing contact remains responsible for the agreed work.
