Accounting staff augmentation

Dedicated offshore accountants who work inside your firm

Accounting staff augmentation gives CPA firms and in-house finance teams dedicated accountants who work in your systems, follow your checklists and report to your managers. MindWhiz recruits, employs and retains them in Lahore, where accounting talent with US GAAP experience is strong.

It suits firms facing busy-season peaks, a shortage of staff accountants, or a backlog of bookkeeping and reconciliations. If you would rather outsource whole processes such as AP or month-end close, see our finance and accounting outsourcing service.
