Trusted by CPA & EA Firms Across the U.S.
A growing group of firms that have made BusAcTa part of how they work
We're not a staffing agency and we're not a generic BPO. We're a CPA-led team that learns how your firm works and operates inside your own software.
"There's no anonymous pool of workers here. We assign one dedicated team to your firm and keep it there."
BusAcTa Advisors is a CPA-led offshore accounting and tax preparation firm founded in 2019. A Big Four-trained CPA runs all engagement work. Most of our clients are U.S. CPA and EA firms with 5 to 20 people — small enough that every client file matters, busy enough that they need offshore support to scale without adding local headcount.
Unlike a staffing agency or generic BPO, we operate inside your own software and learn your firm's workflow. You get one dedicated, named team — the same preparers and reviewers on every file, every season. No anonymous worker pool, no turnover surprises, no re-training a new face each year.
Every engagement runs through a two-layer internal review before it reaches you for sign-off. A licensed CPA holds oversight on all work product, so when a file lands in your queue it's already been checked — twice. Your clients never find out we're involved. Your team always knows exactly where each file stands.
A predictable onboarding path designed by CPAs who have scaled U.S. firms for 5+ years.
Every engagement overseen by a licensed CPA.
Day 1Your clients get a named, assigned team — not a shared preparer pool.
Day 2-3Signed NDA, encrypted transfer, role-based access.
Week 1-2Five-stage review framework applied to every single file we deliver.
Week 3+Offshore bookkeeping, tax prep, and accounting — prepared by our team, CPA-reviewed, and delivered back to you ready to sign off. We work inside your software, follow your review style, and keep your clients' names off any communication that isn't yours.
We handle your clients' day-to-day bookkeeping in QBO, Xero, NetSuite, or Sage. Transactions coded correctly, accounts reconciled on schedule, and a month-end close that doesn't drag into the following month. Your team gets files that are ready to review, not ready to clean up.
Every firm carries its own rules and its own rhythm. We shape the work around them, whether that means clearing a tax-season backlog or keeping property-level books straight, and we hand back files that are ready for your review.

Picking an offshore partner comes down to more than the rate. It comes down to whether you can trust them with your clients' data and your firm's name. We built our setup around what U.S. CPAs and EAs actually need to see.
We align to IRS Circular 230, use role-based access and encrypted portals, and sign an NDA before any data changes hands.
You get the same named, CPA-supervised people every time. They learn your clients, your software, and how you like things reviewed.
A licensed CPA reviews every engagement before it lands on your desk, so what you open is ready to send out.
Drake, CCH, Lacerte, UltraTax, QBO, Xero. We start working in your tools on day one, with nothing for your staff to teach us.
Every file moves through five internal review stages covering the numbers, the formatting, and the final sign-off. You shouldn't have to redo our work.
Most work comes back in 36–48 hours, and we keep extra capacity on hand for the crunch weeks of tax season.
"We run a high-volume Drake shop and were struggling to keep pace during peak season. BusAcTa's offshore CPA team stepped in and had 1040s coming back clean within 48 hours. Our in-house staff now spends their time on review and client calls — exactly where we need them."
Michael T. Harrington, CPA
Managing Partner, Harrington & Reed CPAs · Charlotte, NC
"Offshore tax prep only works if the team actually understands U.S. tax law — and BusAcTa's CPAs do. Every 1040 and 1120S file comes back with diagnostics cleared and positions supported. We haven't had to send a return back for rework in six months."
Jennifer L. Caldwell, EA
Tax Director, Caldwell Tax Solutions · Phoenix, AZ
"We added 42% more clients this tax season without a single local hire. The offshore team handles our entire prep pipeline, and the 36–48 hour turnaround has become our real competitive edge. No other firm in our market can match our response time."
Robert J. Whitmore, CPA
Founder, Whitmore CPA Group · Nashville, TN
"Partnership returns are complex, and most offshore vendors get the basics right but fumble the edge cases. BusAcTa's crew handles our 1065s, K-1 packages, and basis tracking the same way our senior staff would. It's the consistency that keeps us renewing."
Sandra K. Pemberton, CPA
Senior Partner, Pemberton & Cole LLP · Minneapolis, MN
"We'd been burned by two offshore providers who couldn't navigate Lacerte without constant hand-holding. BusAcTa assigned us a dedicated team that already knew the software — they were productive on day one and we've never looked back."
Thomas A. McBride, CPA
Principal, McBride Advisors · Portland, OR
"Fourteen months of bookkeeping backlog, cleared in under seven weeks. Now their offshore team keeps our 90-plus QBO files reconciled and closed by the 8th of every month. Our advisory practice runs on the clean numbers they deliver."
Deborah R. Stanton, CPA
Founder, Stanton Advisory CPAs · Dallas, TX
"Handing audit prep to an offshore team felt risky until I saw the first round of PBC packages come back — fully indexed, tied to the trial balance, ready for fieldwork. We saved over 300 senior hours last cycle and the quality held up through the entire engagement."
Gregory L. Ashford, CPA
Audit Partner, Ashford Connelly LLP · Chicago, IL
"Our clients wanted real-time dashboards and faster monthly closes. BusAcTa's offshore CFO support team delivered both — we now close eight days faster and client portal engagement is up 60%. Best add-on we've made to our practice."
Patricia M. Donnelly, CPA, MBA
Director of Advisory, Donnelly & Cruz CPAs · Atlanta, GA

Three options: pay-per-return from $59, a Dedicated CPA Crew from $2,950/mo (1 senior + 2 staff, CPA-supervised), or a custom multi-crew / virtual CFO engagement. No setup fees, month-to-month after a 30-day pilot, and a clear written SLA on every engagement.
We are fully aligned with IRS Circular 230 and treat every engagement as confidential by default. NDAs are signed before any data exchange, access is role-based and least-privilege, and all work happens inside encrypted client portals or your own systems. We never store client data on local machines, USBs are disabled, and session activity is logged. Annual security training is mandatory for every team member.
We work directly inside your stack, with no exports and no rework. Tax: Drake, CCH Axcess, Lacerte, UltraTax, ProSeries, ATX, TaxDome. Accounting: QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Wave. Workflow: Karbon, Canopy, Jetpack, SmartVault, ShareFile. If you use something different, we'll pick it up quickly.
Our 36–48 hour turnaround is written into the agreement, not just a hope. Standard tax returns and routine bookkeeping files come back within 36–48 business hours of our receiving complete information. Complex returns (multi-state, K-1 cascades, consolidated 1120s) get a defined delivery date upfront. During peak season we add capacity ahead of time so deadlines hold.
After a 30-minute discovery call, we build a written SOP for your firm: software, naming conventions, review style, escalation paths. You're assigned a named team with a CPA reviewer. Work is requested via your existing tool (Karbon, email, portal — your call), tracked transparently, and delivered review-ready. Weekly check-ins, monthly performance reviews, no hidden fees.
You choose either 5 tax returns OR 10 hours of accounting/bookkeeping work — completely free, no credit card, no commitment. A CPA scopes the work, a dedicated team executes it inside your software, and every file passes our 5-stage QC before it lands on your desk. You evaluate the quality, communication, and turnaround before deciding to engage further.
Pay-per-return starts from $59 per 1040. A dedicated CPA crew (one senior accountant, two staff, CPA-supervised) runs from roughly $3,000–$6,000/month — significantly less than a single full-time U.S. hire. Most firms see a 50–60% reduction in per-return cost. No setup fees, and every engagement starts with a free 30-day pilot.
Yes. We operate under a security framework aligned to IRS Circular 230 and SOC 2 principles. Every engagement begins with a signed NDA. We use encrypted portals, role-based access, no local data storage, disabled USB ports, session logging, and mandatory annual security training for every team member. Your clients' names never appear in any external communication.
Three differences: a licensed CPA leads and reviews every engagement (agencies just place workers); you get a named dedicated team, not a rotating pool; and we work directly inside your software — Drake, CCH, QuickBooks, Xero — with no exports or reformatting. Every file also passes a 5-stage internal review before reaching your desk.
