Your outsourced team works directly inside your operations

When you outsource your accounting to Connect, you get qualified accounting professionals based in Eastern Europe working as dedicated members of your finance team. They handle the same responsibilities as an in-house accountant – managing your books, preparing financial statements, processing payroll, and maintaining compliance, at 40-70% lower cost compared to onshore hiring. 

Through our outsourced accounting model, you get the same role and output at a fraction of the cost of hiring locally. Your outsourced accountant works inside your systems and processes as part of your team, without the financial overhead of a traditional local hire.

Whether you’re ready to outsource your accounting department, add an outsourced bookkeeper, or build a full remote finance function, we help businesses in the US and UK access top accounting talent from Macedonia.

What Does an Outsourced Accountant Do?

An offshore accountant manages your financial operations end-to-end, working during hours that overlap with your business day and communicating in fluent English. They integrate with your existing systems and become an extension of your team.

Outsourced Accounting Compliance & Quality Support

Accredited: ACCA-certified, CPA-equivalent, degree-qualified Accountants and Bookkeeping professionals. Years of experience working inside US and UK businesses, not learning on yours.

Z

Output: Full scope finance support with bookkeeping, AP/AR, payroll, reconciliations, reporting, budgeting, and forecasting. Defined deliverables and clear scope from day one so you always know what’s getting done.

Tools & Tech: Remote staff experienced with the same platforms your business already relies on. We support leading accounting and finance tools to ensure accuracy, compliance and efficiency. No migration, no retraining.

Why Finance Leaders make the Switch to Outsourced Accounting

Local hiring means months of recruiting and six-figure overhead. Staffing agencies charge markups and rotate people through your account. Our clients get dedicated professionals working exclusively inside their business – and stopped paying for geography.

Qualified from day one

Degree-qualified, ACCA and CPA-equivalent accountants who work inside your systems and processes – the same output as a local hire, without the local overhead.

Working in 14 days

Shortlist in 7 days, staff embedded in your finance function in 14. We handle recruitment, compliance, HR and payroll, so nothing lands on your desk.

40-70% lower cost

Structural savings on every role, not a discount that erodes. What you save on one local salary typically funds two experienced professionals

“We had no prior experience offshoring financial tasks. Connect impressed us with how fast well-qualified candidates were presented, combined with significant and structural cost savings. The candidates exceeded our expectations – proactive, degree-qualified in finance, an excellent cultural fit.”

What Does Outsourcing Your Accounting Cost?

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I ensure financial data security when outsourcing accounting?

Security follows the same protocols you’d use with any remote employee. Your accountant accesses systems through secure VPN connections, uses company-issued devices with encryption, and follows your data handling policies. Software like QuickBooks and Xero have role-based access controls. We sign NDAs and accommodate specific compliance requirements.

What happens during tax season or month-end when we need more support?

Your offshore accountant works dedicated hours for your business, so they’re available during peak periods. If you need temporary additional capacity, we can provide supplemental accountants on short notice. Many clients scale up for 1-2 months then reduce – there’s flexibility built in.

What's the difference between accounting staffing agencies and Connect?

Traditional accounting staffing agencies typically focus on candidate placement. Connect provides dedicated remote accounting professionals while also managing recruitment, HR, payroll, compliance, and ongoing support.

How do offshore accountants handle US GAAP or specific accounting standards?

Most Eastern European accountants working internationally are trained in both IFRS and GAAP. If your business requires specific US GAAP expertise, we source candidates with that background or provide training during onboarding. Core accounting fundamentals translate across frameworks.

What if the accountant doesn't work out?

If there’s a performance issue, we address it quickly – through training, role adjustment, or replacement if necessary. No penalties for ending an engagement. We can usually source a replacement within 2-3 weeks. The goal is to ensure you have the right person, not locking you into something that isn’t working.

How quickly can we hire an offshore accountant?

Typical timeline is 3-4 weeks from initial conversation to start date: defining requirements (1 week), sourcing candidates (1-2 weeks), your interviews (3-7 days), and onboarding setup (1 week). For urgent needs, we’ve placed accountants in as little as 10 days.

What's included in the monthly fee?

Everything except software licenses. The fee covers salary, all employment taxes and benefits, office space, high-speed internet, equipment (laptop, monitors, accessories), IT support, HR management, and payroll processing. You’re working with an employee employed through our Eastern European entity – not managing an international contractor.

Do offshore accountants work during our business hours?

Yes, to whatever extent makes sense. Most clients want significant overlap for real-time communication. For US companies, accountants typically work 2pm-11pm their local time (overlapping with 8am-5pm ET). For UK/European companies, timezone alignment is nearly perfect with standard 9-5 hours in both locations.

As a Dutch SME, we were looking for financial professionals and had no prior experience with offshoring financial tasks. Connect and North Macedonia impressed us by the speed at which well-qualified candidates could be presented and could quickly start, combined with significant and structural cost savings.

Working with Filip and Goce has been excellent: quick responses, clear communication, and a professional approach in setting up the offshoring process to North Macedonia ensure an efficient and smooth hiring process.

The candidates have exceeded our expectations: they are proactive, demonstrate a strong work ethic, hold a bachelor’s degree in finance, bring international experience, and are an excellent cultural fit with the Dutch way of working.

Connect has proven to be a reliable and valuable partner, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration.

Michael Van Straten
Head of Customer Experience

At Tradewind, we were looking to hire a variety of roles both technical and customer facing. We have experience recruiting offshore talent in a variety of other countries but never Macedonia. We were attracted to Macedonia based on its reputation for strong educational institutions attractive wages, a culture that includes a strong work ethic, and very strong English language skills and familiarity with American culture.

We chose to work with Connect for a variety of reasons. The first is that we were looking for a boutique partner who could help us navigate the challenges that always arise when building teams in a new country. Both owners of Connect are fluent English speakers both having lived in English speaking countries for many years. Not only does that make communications very easy, it also means we do not need to explain our business and how American consumers interact with our type of company.

Connect has been very successful in finding strong talent at very competitive rates. It requires very little of my time to add new team members, usually only requiring about a ten minute conversation. From there I can expect to start seeing CVs in less than two weeks. Connect management are willing to communicate with me on my terms and time zone is never an issue. I would not hesitate to recommend Connect to any organization that is looking for an easy to way to tap into the enormous talent available in Macedonia.

Michael Ferioli
VP of Engineering Tradewind East Inc.

The numbers made no sense anymore. We had to consider outsourcing. We haven’t looked back since. Connect has consistently been able to source and place highly skilled English speaking construction and accounting support staff. There are never any issues with the work quality and connectivity with my remote team.
