Question 1

Why should I outsource accounting?

Accepted Answer

Outsourcing accounting cuts cost (typically 40–50% vs. an in-house hire), removes hiring and turnover risk, and gives you a trained team plus senior oversight on demand. You get clean books and reliable reporting without managing payroll, benefits, software or PTO for a finance department.

Question 2

How much does outsourced accounting cost?

Accepted Answer

Most US small businesses pay roughly $500–$5,000 per month for outsourced accounting, depending on transaction volume, services and complexity. Bookkeeping-only engagements start lower; full-charge accounting with controller or CFO oversight sits at the top of that range. TaxQube prices every engagement with fixed, transparent scope.

Question 3

What is outsourced accounting and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Outsourced accounting is hiring an external team to run some or all of your finance function — bookkeeping, payroll, tax and reporting — instead of employing in-house staff. It works in four steps: a consultation, a fixed-scope proposal, secure onboarding into your existing software, then ongoing delivery on a set cadence.

Question 4

Is outsourced or offshore accounting safe and accurate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when the provider uses proper controls. TaxQube follows ISO/IEC 27001-aligned security — restricted-access workstations, encrypted file transfer and signed NDAs — and staffs US-GAAP-trained accountants with a review layer on every deliverable, so accuracy matches or beats a typical in-house hire.

Question 5

When should I outsource my bookkeeping?

Accepted Answer

You should consider outsourcing bookkeeping when managing your finances starts taking time away from growing your business, your transactions become more complex, or you need reliable financial reporting without expanding your in-house team. TaxQube provides dedicated accounting support that scales with your business needs.

Question 6

Can you work in my existing accounting software?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TaxQube is software-agnostic and works inside your current stack — QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Sage, Gusto, Bill.com and most major platforms — rather than forcing a migration. For CPA firms we also work in Drake, Lacerte and UltraTax.

Question 7

What types of tax returns do you prepare?

Accepted Answer

We support a wide range of U.S. tax filings, including individual returns (Forms 1040 and 1040-NR), business returns (Forms 1065, 1120, and 1120-S), nonprofit returns (Forms 990 and 990-EZ), and estate and trust returns (Forms 1041, 706, and 709). Contact TaxQube to discuss your tax requirements, and we'll guide you on the forms and filings applicable to you or your business.

Question 8

Do you handle multi-state tax returns?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We assist businesses and individuals with multi-state tax filing requirements, including state income tax returns, nexus considerations, and compliance obligations across multiple jurisdictions.

Question 9

Can you help with IRS notices and correspondence?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide support in reviewing IRS notices, understanding filing requirements, gathering documentation, and preparing responses related to tax filings and compliance matters.

Question 10

Can you support businesses with international tax reporting requirements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We assist businesses and individuals with certain international reporting requirements, including foreign asset reporting, information returns, and cross-border tax compliance obligations.

Question 11

What does an outsourced controller do?

Accepted Answer

An outsourced controller owns the integrity of your financials: overseeing the close, reviewing the books, managing cash flow, enforcing controls and producing management-ready reporting. It's a senior layer above bookkeeping, at a fraction of a full-time controller's salary.

Question 12

How do I choose an outsourced accounting provider?

Accepted Answer

Choose a provider with relevant industry experience, strong data security measures, transparent pricing, compatible technology, and responsive communication. Ask for examples of similar clients and how the team integrates with your workflows.

Question 13

Is outsourced accounting confidential for CPA firms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TaxQube delivers white-label, review-ready work under signed confidentiality agreements — your clients never see us, and you keep the relationship and the final review. Security controls are ISO/IEC 27001-aligned.

Question 14

How fast is turnaround?

Accepted Answer

Typical turnaround is 24 hours for routine work, with most clients fully onboarded within a week of approving the proposal. CPA-firm surge support can begin even faster during busy season.
