Named offshore bookkeepers working inside your QBO file under a ProAdvisor login. Daily categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, AP/AR, sales tax, 1099s, and month-end close – the full QBO workflow delivered by accountants trained on QuickBooks Online as their primary software.
What our QuickBooks Online accountants do
The full day-to-day inside QBO, from rules setup through financial statements.
QuickBooks Online is the most common accounting platform in our book – roughly 55% of our active bookkeeping engagements run on QBO. There are operational reasons for this concentration that matter when evaluating whether offshore QBO bookkeeping is right for you.
Three features of QBO make it particularly well-suited to offshore staffing: (1) it's cloud-native, so there's no VPN or remote desktop complexity, (2) user permissions are granular enough that offshore staff can have the exact access they need and nothing more, and (3) the bank feed and rule-based categorization lets a single bookkeeper handle high transaction volume per client. A senior offshore QBO bookkeeper comfortably runs 40–60 active client files.
QBO Advanced (the enterprise tier) adds complexity that most generic offshore bookkeepers haven't worked with: workflow approval rules, custom fields, advanced reporting, multi-currency. If you're on QBO Advanced or running QBO with app stacks (like Bill.com + Ramp + A2X + Hubdoc), we specifically match bookkeepers with that experience – don't accept a generic QBO bookkeeper for Advanced work.
For CPA firms and bookkeeping firms running a ProAdvisor setup, offshore staff log in through your QuickBooks Online Accountant (QBOA) portal under named users. This gives you firm-level visibility, lets offshore staff see all client files you grant access to, and keeps billing/subscriptions under your ProAdvisor relationship. For direct-to-business clients, offshore staff log in under an accountant role on your QBO company.
See our offshore bookkeeping service page for the full pricing structure and onboarding process. For the broader offshore accounting picture, see our homepage.
Typical QBO engagement pricing: $12–$18/hour for project work, or $1,800–$2,400/month for a dedicated QBO bookkeeper seat handling 15–40 clients. CPA firms running a ProAdvisor practice typically use the dedicated seat model; see our CPA firm page for the economics.
