Managing your own records sounds simple until the complexity of payroll, tax deadlines, compliance reporting, and multi-currency transactions makes it a time and resource consuming task. Businesses that outsource their accounting have reported fewer costs and errors and can focus on revenue generation processes. Rising employment costs, complexity of operating across multiple tax regulations, shortage of qualified finance talent rises the demand for outsourced accounting.

Client Results: What Businesses Achieve With Us
Real numbers. Real businesses. Here's how we've helped companies like yours.
US E-Commerce Business Reduces Finance Costs by 61%
Challenge: A rapidly growing DTC brand was managing bookkeeping in-house using a part-time bookkeeper and a spreadsheet-based inventory system. As transaction volumes grew, reconciliation errors mounted, and the owner spent 12+ hours per week on financial administration instead of operations.
Solution: Global Accounts Partner implemented a full-service bookkeeping engagement using QuickBooks Online, including daily transaction sync, monthly reconciliation of 4 sales channels, sales tax nexus review across 12 US states, and a monthly financial close package delivered by the 8th business day.
Canadian Firm Achieves CRA-Ready Books After 18-Month Backlog
Challenge: A mid-sized consulting firm had 18 months of unrecorded transactions following the departure of their in-house bookkeeper. GST/HST returns were overdue, payroll records were incomplete, and the firm faced a potential CRA review.
Solution: Our catch-up bookkeeping team worked through the backlog in three weeks, reconstructing 18 months of records from bank statements, credit card feeds, and client invoices. We prepared and filed overdue GST/HST returns, reconciled all payroll accounts, and produced a clean set of T2-ready financials for their accountant.
What Our Clients Say
"Global Accounts Partner cleaned up 14 months of backlog for our Shopify business in under three weeks. We went from dreading tax season to having complete, reconciled books ready to hand to our CPA. Best decision we made this year."
"As a CPA firm, we white-label GAP's bookkeeping team for 12 of our small business clients. The quality is consistent, deadlines are always met, and their understanding of US GAAP and IRS compliance means we rarely need to review their work. Our capacity has effectively doubled."
"We were nervous about outsourcing our books to a team outside our country. Within the first month, the concern was completely gone. Our account manager knows Canadian tax law, files our GST/HST on time, and sends us a clear monthly report every month without us having to chase."

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is outsourced bookkeeping and how does it work?
Outsourced bookkeeping is the process of hiring an external team to manage your financial records instead of maintaining an in-house accounting function. At Global Accounts Partner, we securely connect to your accounting software, sync bank feeds, and manage your books remotely. Each month, you receive a complete financial close package along with direct access to a dedicated account manager for ongoing support.
