Affordable Competitiveness

When we talk about "affordable competitiveness", we're not just referring to cost. Yes, our prices are very attractive but this is only one of the many reasons you should outsource you bookkeeping work to us. When you understand the complete package of benefits we offer, you'll agree that our competitiveness is multi-dimensional, enabling you to focus on the higher-value end of your business in order to deliver improved service to your clients and grow your practice.

Low Prices

Wages in India are much lower than in the US for professional services and that is why our pricing is so attractive. While some costs in India (such as Internet access) are higher than in the US and others (such as computer software and hardware) are about the same, we still deliver very low prices to you thanks to the overall cost advantages.

Convenience

Our bookkeeping team works remotely and never enters your workplace. You don't need to make capital investments in additional equipment or worry about complicated employment and liability issues. Our process is extremely easy. Just send your documents, files and instructions to us -- either online or offline -- and we'll take care of the rest. With the Fujitsu high-speed scanner that we recommend, this process has never been easier.

Quality and Expertise

Our bookkeeping team is knowledgeable. Indeed, you will be very pleased at the level of service you receive because our team members already know how to handle the full range of bookkeeping services for small US companies. We are also prepared to process work in a variety of accounting software packages.

Quick Turnaround

The time difference between India and the US works to your advantage when you assign jobs to us at the end of the US business day. In many cases, we can have the work completed and back to you by the time you arrive at the office in the morning.

Personal Service

Your work is assigned to a particular team that learns about your needs and personalizes their services to you. You interact directly with the team leader by email, a US telephone number, instant messaging or even through the Metis Online Vault. One-on-one support options over the Internet mean that we can help you with just about any issue at most times of the day or night.

Customization

We can handle your work either on our local system or online -- or even remotely on one of your Internet-connected PCs. We're able to work through your online application provider or give you access to our remote desktop -- and even allow your clients access to their files in real-time if they wish. Require a unique delivery schedule, preparation of special tax forms or other matters? Let us know and we'll provide it. Indeed, there are many options available.

Flexibility

Choose the service plan that's right for you and then send us as much - or as little - work as you need done. As the quantity of work you wish to outsource increases, simply send it to us and we'll handle it. Upgrade to a higher level service plan at any time to take advantage of lower hourly rates.

Security

Our systems are secured by 128-bit encryption technology and ensure that your data is protected at all times.

Confidentiality

We work in the background and you are the only person who interacts or communicates with your clients. You always retain full control of the bookkeeping process and the services you provide to your clients.

Notable Quotes

"Outsourcing tax preparation lets accountants meet tax deadlines without having to work around the clock during tax season," said Mr. Mirchandani. In addition to reducing the time spent on data entry and preparation activities, he said outsourcing makes return turn-around faster since many can be worked on simultaneously but without increasing staff size with temporary or part-time workers.

Outsourcing is part of American business practice and is quickly becoming standard in the accounting and tax fields, as well. Even the IRS is lobbying to be allowed to use outsourcing for its collections activities. But since many accounting firms receive a significant percentage of revenue through their tax practice, changing how your firm prepares and processes these tasks is not an easy decision. Those against the practice have strong reasons such as security concerns, patriotism and client relations. There are also those who might consider it if some of the issues are addressed, but there are many professionals who are enticed by the immediate benefits and outsourcing is quickly growing in popularity because of this. The benefits include lower staff cost, quicker turn-around time for returns and overall revenue growth with little overhead increase. And since most of the outsource providers offer their services on a per-return basis, many accountants are trying it on a limited basis before committing a substantial number of returns to the method. "We had nothing to lose by trying it," said Scott Henry of Henry, Held & Reilly.
