Offshore accounting services for CPA firms, turned around overnight.

Offshore accounting services for CPA firms work when three things are true: the preparer knows US forms, the data handling satisfies Section 7216 and your state board, and the work arrives when you need it. Bramwell Global is built around those three things. Our accountants prepare returns and books in your software, under your access, and the time difference with Pakistan means a return sent at 6 pm is waiting for your reviewer at 8 am.

What we prepare for CPA firms

Tax preparation with workpapers

Individual returns (Form 1040 with the common schedules, including Schedule C, E and D), partnership returns (Form 1065 with K-1s), and corporate returns (Form 1120 and 1120-S). Every return comes with a workpaper file tied to source documents, a prior-year comparison and a reviewer note listing the judgement calls and open items. Multi-state returns are prepared where your software supports them.

Catch-up and clean-up bookkeeping

The most common first job we receive. We bring QuickBooks Online or Xero files current, reconcile bank and credit card accounts, clear undeposited funds and suspense, fix the chart of accounts and produce a clean trial balance for the tax preparer, whether that is us or your own staff.

Month-end close

For your client accounting services practice: recurring monthly bookkeeping, accruals, fixed assets and depreciation, intercompany entries and a close package with financial statements and a variance note, delivered on the date you set.

AP, AR and sales tax

Bill entry and approval queues, customer invoicing and collections reporting, and sales tax returns prepared from your clients' sales data for your review and filing.

Section 7216, handled properly

Internal Revenue Code Section 7216 and its regulations require a taxpayer's written consent before a US preparer discloses tax return information to a preparer outside the United States. We do not work around it. Your firm obtains the consent in the form the regulations prescribe and keeps it on file; we prepare only returns where that consent exists. Where your software allows, Social Security numbers are masked for our preparers. The arrangement is documented in the Data Processing Agreement we sign before any file moves. Full details on the security page.

Your software, your PTIN, your signature

We prepare inside the tax and accounting software your firm already licenses, through access you grant and can revoke, with two-factor authentication on every login. The return, the workpapers and the audit trail stay in your system. Review, signature and e-filing remain with your licensed professionals under your PTIN and EFIN. Nothing we do changes who the preparer of record is.

Overnight turnaround

Pakistan is nine to twelve hours ahead of the continental United States. Work sent at the end of your day is prepared during ours and is in your queue the next morning. During tax season this adds a full shift to your firm with no night team and no overtime. Questions are answered in writing in one list per job, and a short overlap window is agreed for calls when a job needs one.

Tax season capacity without the hiring

Most CPA firms do not need more people in July. They need them from January to April and again in September and October. Seasonal capacity is booked from November for the spring season and from July for extension season. Ad hoc work is available year round for clean-ups and backlogs, and firms with steady client accounting volume take a dedicated accountant who works only on their clients.

What stays with you

Client contact, engagement letters, Circular 230 responsibilities, review, signature and filing. Bramwell Global is a back office. Your clients see your firm and nothing else.
