Our Bookkeepers

All of our bookkeepers are college graduates with two or more years of experience. They go through thorough training in US business concepts, accounting practices and procedures – as well as the accounting software – before they start working on actual client accounts. In our three-stage process, work done by each bookkeeper is reviewed by the team leader. And before delivery back to you, the quality controller performs a final quality check.

Our Facilities

We have dual Dell servers set up in our Texas office with the latest hyper-threading technology and offsite backup. The servers run VisualVault™ software installed on Microsoft Server 2003© with SQL, .NET and a 128-bit encrypted SSL certificate issued by GeoTrust®. Client data remains on the US servers at all times, with our team members in India accessing remotely to handle bookkeeping tasks.

Our India office is equipped with the latest technology, including a phone line that rings through our main US phone number. This means you can get voice support from Girish and our associates in India without incurring any international phone charges whatsoever.

Furthermore, each workstation is equipped with dual monitors for higher efficiency and everything is connected at high speed to the Internet to maximize the efficiency of our services to you. You will truly feel that our "virtual office" is an extension of your own office.

Our new office in Bangalore, India is ideally located for excellent access to a professional workforce! Thanks to a backup power supply and dual Internet lines, we are aiming for 100% uptime as we work for you.


We are located on the fourth floor of this building.

Notable Quotes

Although the initial attraction of offshore is often cost savings, most companies that have experienced offshore outsourcing are reporting added benefits including process improvements as activities are reengineered and streamlined as part of the move." Was another finding in the IDC report. If properly planned, off-shoring, whether inter-company or intra-company, can provide additional benefits on top of just labor savings. By being forced to identify their processes and company requirements in the early stage of off-shoring, many companies realize additional savings financially and personnel-wise through gained efficiencies. Companies are increasingly finding better uses for these extra resources after releasing them from their old responsibilities. These additional savings can be redistributed to either the bottom line or growth efforts.

Another factory why companies are off-shoring is because of competition. If one company is off-shoring its operations to provide better service for less than a competitor, what can the other competitor do? It can try to cut waste out of its operations and become more efficient, but sooner or later it will run up against a wage disparity that may only be addressable by off-shoring. There is no denying that as more and more companies offshore, they in turn force their competitors to either follow their lead or risk losing business because the competitors can't match the falling prices.
