Top 10-Ranked Finance and Accounting Outsourcing Companies in 2025

As more accounting firms turn to outsourcing for a steady stream of qualified and affordable finance and accounting talent, some outsourcing partners have distinguished themselves by their expertise, service quality, and understanding of global reporting standards.

 

This article presents some of the most reputable finance and accounting outsourcing companies you can use to address your capacity needs today.

Why Businesses Are Prioritizing Finance & Accounting Outsourcing in 2025

• Post-Pandemic Digital Push

Only a few firms ever considered outsourcing before COVID-19. But with the lockdowns forcing every firm to work from home, firm owners had to find more reliable ways of getting work done without sacrificing quality.

This new system opened firms up to the reality of hiring not just within their countries but also abroad, allowing them to take advantage of knowledgeable and qualified accounting talent in foreign countries.

• Inflation and Cost Optimization

With inflation (always) on the rise, businesses are forced to find creative ways of doing more with less, and one major way is to outsource as many of their services as possible.

 

Outsourcing allows them to pay a fraction of a full-time employee’s salary to get qualified finance and accounting professionals. They don’t have to worry about an expensive hiring process, salary, and employee benefits.

• Rise of Remote Finance and AI-led Automation

Thanks to remote work tools like practice management software with AI features, team members can complete tasks faster and collaborate from opposite ends of the world with little to no misunderstanding and information gap.

 

This has enabled top finance and accounting outsourcing to ensure accurate and compliant financial reporting for their clients.

• Outsourcing as a Strategic Growth Enabler

Outsourcing allows you to manage increased client demands more confidently. It gives you the flexibility to add and reduce your workforce as your workload ebbs and flows.

 

This assurance of capacity sufficiency enables you to take on as many clients as you need to grow your firm. The top finance and accounting outsourcing companies do not require long-term commitment, so you won’t have to worry about severance packages when an outsourcing relationship ends.

What Makes a Top Finance and Accounting Outsourcing Company?

• Domain Expertise and Certifications

Reputable finance and accounting outsourcing firms have strict educational requirements, which play a crucial role in their hiring decisions.

 

Indian outsourcing companies, for example, use certified chartered accountants and CPAs who are well-versed in global financial reporting standards (GAAP, IFRS, etc.).

 

You wouldn’t need to train them on accounting procedures, as Rebecca Sanitago can confirm:

“Our outsourcing partner, The Finsmart Accounting team, already knows the accounting processes. That means I don’t have to train somebody, like I had done in the past.

All I do is provide the client context so that they can apply their accounting, QuickBooks, and reconciliation knowledge to the specific issues of that client. I don’t have to show them how to do accounting.”

—Rebecca Santiago, Owner, Advance Professional Accounting Service

• Technology Integration

Outsourced accounting teams can use the latest software programs to automate manual work and streamline accounting processes.

 

So, instead of worrying about training them on how to use the tools you currently use, they’re even more likely to teach you how to use software solutions like NetSuite, QBO, Xero, Karbon, Financial Cents, Liscio, etc.

 

“The Finsmart team can work with any software you have. QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Bill.com, you name it!

They are experienced. There is no learning curve, so we don’t have to train anybody. They’re already trained.

—Mariko Hayashi-Hall, Founder and CEO of Chicago-based Brilliant Solutions Group

• Global Delivery and Time-zone Alignment

Having all your team members in one time zone helps with real-time collaboration, but that makes it difficult to always have someone attending to client work.

 

Many US firms outsourcing to India have appreciated the time zone alignment, even though both firms are 11 hours apart.

 

The time zone difference allows firms in the US to assign work to their teams in India, knowing they will wake up to completed tasks ready to move to the next stage.

• Client Support and Scalability

By nature, outsourcing firms allow you to expand on your terms with flexible staffing resources that allow you to quickly and easily increase your staff strength to meet increased client demands.

Without this flexibility, you either hire more staff ahead of client demand or do it after the fact. Either way, you’ll risk over- or underutilizing your team members, which could amount to a waste of precious resources.

 

Since working with Finsmart, we have had one main person who has been with us the whole time, and she has continued to learn and develop with us. When we had to bring on additional projects, Finsmart had additional staff to help us during that process.

—Elizabeth Bergen, owner of Foray Business Group

• Regulatory Compliance

Outsourced finance and accounting professionals are usually up-to-date with their clients’ changing financial reporting needs.

 

Their training in global financial reporting standards and tax regulations (GAAP, IFRS, SOX, IRS, etc.) enables them to guide your clients through difficult financial situations. That is why some of them can boast of an average client retention rate as high as nine (9) years.

TEAM MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

She joined Finsmart Accounting in May 2023, and since then, she has used her expertise to work on various US tax forms and accounting software.

For each client she’s assigned, she spends a fair bit of time trying to understand the client’s business processes to enhance their workflows.

“At around 15 clients, I completely ran out of capacity. I was working around the clock, seven days a week. I ran out of time, space, and the ability to take on more clients and grow. I did not want to be in a position where I was turning clients down.

Using Finsmart has freed up my time to onboard new clients. As I grow, I’ll be assigning more clients to them, so I can focus more on advisory and supervision as opposed to the back office operation of bookkeeping. Finsmart does the back office operation so well.  They have allowed me to add clients and grow with them.”

Why India and the Philippines Dominate This List

• Cost-Effective Talent

The cost of outsourcing to India and the Philippines is far less than the rest of the world, especially the US, the UK, and Europe.

In these countries, the labor costs combine with favorable exchange rates to give firms in America and other Western markets access to cheap, but quality accounting services.

• High English Proficiency

Both countries have English as their official language, so communication and collaboration are not a problem for firms in other English-speaking countries.

They’re also culturally linked to these firms. This makes it easier for all parties to understand project requirements, establish context for work, and meet client deliverables consistently and satisfactorily.

• Strong Accounting Education Pipeline

Trained in global financial reporting standards, Indian accounting professionals can ensure financial reporting in line with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Plus, the Indian education system is known for its rigorous finance and accounting standards, which produce thousands of knowledgeable CPAs every year.

• 24/7 Service Delivery

India’s 9 AM is around 10 PM (CST), meaning when your US team is off work, your outsourced partners in India will be working.

This time difference ensures continuous service delivery for your clients, which gives a better chance of meeting tight deadlines.

• Tech-savvy Workforce

Business Process Outsourcing is a key part of both countries’ economies. That is why it has attracted huge investments from their governments through IT infrastructure and technology ecosystems.

This has exposed outsourced professionals in these countries to the most advanced programs for automating workflow, extracting data, and managing projects.

How to Choose the Right Partner in 2025

Here are a few things to note to make the most of outsourcing in 2025:

• Prioritize alignment with your business needs: The outsourcing provider’s expertise, certifications, and tech stack will amount to nothing if they don’t understand your business, industry, and needs.
• Focus on providers with a modern tech stack: Outsourcing thrives in a remote work environment when your team has the right tools to work with. A modern tech stack will free your outsourcing partner up to apply their expertise to your client’s financial situations. If they can’t deploy these tools, productivity will suffer.
• Request detailed proposals and SLAs: proposals and service level agreements clarify expectations and obligations, helping to prevent unmet needs that will negatively impact the outsourcing relationship.
