The Talent Gap Reality

The old staffing model doesn't work at modern scale.

Relying on local W-2 hires alone puts your firm in a bidding war you can't win. Every empty seat forces partners into staff-level work. The result: lost revenue from clients you have to turn away.

$200,000+

Average Lost Revenue

Per unfilled senior seat, factoring in delayed projects and turned-away clients.

6 to 8 Months

Time to Hire Locally

During this window, Partners and Directors absorb Staff-level work and burn out.

Accounting Roles We Staff for US Firms

Candidates pass technical assessments tailored to US accounting standards before they meet your partners.

The Accounting Staffing Agency Built for US CPA Firms

Dedicated offshore accounting teams, virtual accountants, and managed accounting services for firms hit hardest by the accountant shortage.

Why Firms Outsource Accounting Work

Over 300,000 accounting professionals have left the industry since 2020. The pipeline is not recovering. CPA firms, small business accounting companies, and accounting outsourcing companies now staff dedicated offshore teams because the domestic pool keeps shrinking. A single staff accountant placement at $2,500/month replaces a $65,000+ domestic hire.

Vance & Cole is a specialized accounting outsourcing services provider that places pre-vetted, full-time virtual accountants into your workflows. Each staff accountant, bookkeeper, or outsourced controller works from our secure Cebu IT Park facility during US business hours. You get in-house responsiveness at 40% of the domestic cost.

Accounting Outsourcing Services Built for Scale

Our managed accounting services cover tax prep, bookkeeping, audit support, payroll, financial reporting, and fractional CFO advisory. Our accounting team deployments serve startups, restaurant accounting firms, ecommerce brands, and enterprise finance departments. One accountant in the Philippines or a ten-person accounting department, the setup fits your volume.

Each placement comes with on-site security, IRS WISP-aligned data handling, and $1M insurance coverage. Our CPA firm staffing solutions meet the same compliance standards you hold for domestic staff. Staff accountant duties, controller oversight, full accounting process outsourcing: all roles are placement-matched to your tech stack and workflow.
