Why businesses outsource bookkeeping to India - VBO team

Why Businesses Choose to Outsource Bookkeeping to India

Cost efficiency is one of the main reasons businesses choose to outsource bookkeeping to India. Differences in staffing costs and currency allow businesses in the US, UK and Australia to access experienced bookkeeping support at a significantly lower cost than building the same capacity locally. Depending on the role, workload and scope, savings can commonly reach 40-60% compared with local hiring.

01

Significant Cost Savings

India-based delivery allows businesses to reduce bookkeeping staffing costs while still getting experienced support. Depending on workload, location and scope, businesses can often save 40-60% compared with hiring equivalent bookkeeping capacity locally.

02

Dedicated Support When You Need It

For businesses with sufficient ongoing workload, VBO can provide a dedicated team member who learns your accounts, vendors, reporting requirements and recurring bookkeeping processes.

03

Works in Your Software

We support bookkeeping workflows in QuickBooks Online and Xero, allowing you to continue using the accounting platform already familiar to your business. No unnecessary platform change is required.

04

Time-Zone Advantage

India's time-zone difference can extend the effective working day for US businesses. Depending on the agreed workflow, tasks submitted near the end of the US business day can be worked on while your local team is offline.

How Our Bookkeeping Outsourcing Works

From the first conversation to recurring bookkeeping support, we define the work, systems and reporting requirements before the ongoing workflow begins.

1

Discuss Your Bookkeeping Needs

We review your current bookkeeping setup, transaction volume, accounting software, reporting requirements and the recurring tasks you want support with.

2

Define the Scope and Access

We agree on responsibilities, system access, reporting requirements, communication and the bookkeeping workflow before recurring work begins.

3

Ongoing Monthly Bookkeeping

Your VBO bookkeeping resource handles the agreed transaction recording, reconciliation, reporting and recurring bookkeeping tasks according to the defined scope.

4

Review and Communicate

You receive agreed reports and can communicate with the VBO team regarding questions, exceptions and changes to your bookkeeping requirements.

How bookkeeping outsourcing to India works - VBO step by step

How Much Does Outsourcing Bookkeeping to India Cost?

We do not publish fixed packages because every business has different transaction volumes, reporting needs and complexity. What we do promise is transparent, competitive pricing that can save you significantly compared with local hiring.

The cost of hiring an in-house bookkeeper includes more than salary alone. Employers may also carry payroll costs, benefits, recruiting, software, equipment and management overhead. India-based bookkeeping can reduce those staffing costs substantially, with potential savings of approximately 40-60% depending on the role, workload and scope of support.

No Long-Term Contracts

VBO does not lock bookkeeping clients into long-term contracts. Services can be ended with one month's notice, giving your business flexibility as requirements change.

Custom Pricing Based on Your Volume

Your price is based on your transaction volume and reporting requirements, not a generic package. Light bookkeeping for a small business will naturally require a different scope than full bookkeeping support for a multi-location operation.

Free Consultation Before You Decide

We first review your transaction volume, bookkeeping requirements and reporting needs, then provide pricing based on the agreed scope.
