What does accounting outsourcing include?
Accounting outsourcing covers the recurring transactional and close work that keeps your books accurate: maintaining ledgers, reconciling accounts, processing AP and AR, and preparing the schedules and reports leadership relies on. Your controller or CPA keeps oversight and final sign-off.
Actigy works inside your accounting platform, follows your chart of accounts and close calendar, and delivers a documented close package each period. The goal is a predictable monthly close with fewer adjustments and full visibility, not a black box.

Is this the right fit?
When Actigy BPO is a strong fit
- You want to keep controller or CPA oversight while offloading execution
- Your close is slow, manual, or dependent on one person
- You need documented, repeatable procedures and clean working papers
- You are scaling and need capacity that flexes with transaction volume
- You want clear management reporting on a predictable cadence
When Actigy BPO may not be the right fit
- You need a licensed firm to issue an audit opinion or sign as CPA of record — Actigy supports your accountant, it is not your auditor
- You need complex tax advisory or to file as your tax preparer of record
- You want bare-minimum bookkeeping with no reconciliation or reporting
- Your volume is so low that a single part-time bookkeeper is sufficient

What you'll see every month
Outsourcing accounting should make quality more visible, not less. Actigy reports on the numbers that matter and reviews them with you on a fixed cadence, so the operation stays accountable. The same discipline applies whether you run lean or at enterprise Finance & Fintech scale.
- A QA sample of completed work, scored against the accuracy bar agreed at go-live
- SLA attainment — turnaround and throughput measured against your targets
- Volume, backlog, and exception trends, so capacity stays ahead of demand
- Root-cause notes on any error, with the SOP change made to prevent a repeat
- A monthly business review with your point of contact and the team lead
Engagement model
How pricing and engagement work
Actigy prices accounting on a transparent staffing model tied to scope, volume, and complexity — the cost-to-quality ratio, not an opaque per-transaction markup. Many teams run it alongside payroll outsourcing and accounts payable outsourcing under one delivery team, with a single point of contact.
Start with a pilot
A scoped, paid pilot proves quality and throughput before you commit to full volume.
Staffing-based pricing
You see the team, the roles, and the cost. Capacity flexes up or down with your volume.
You own the documentation
SOPs and process knowledge stay yours, which keeps switching costs low and cuts key-person risk.
Clean exit and transfer
If you wind the engagement down, Actigy returns current documentation and supports knowledge transfer.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is accounting outsourcing?
Accounting outsourcing is delegating recurring accounting work — bookkeeping, reconciliations, month-end close, and reporting — to an external team that works within your systems and under your controller's oversight. Actigy delivers a documented close package each period rather than a black box.
Will Actigy replace our accountant or CPA?
No. Actigy executes the transactional and close work and prepares clean schedules, while your controller, accountant, or CPA keeps review authority and final sign-off. For audit opinions and tax filing as preparer of record, you retain your licensed firm.
Which accounting systems does Actigy work in?
Actigy operates inside your existing accounting platform and follows your chart of accounts and close calendar. The service is process execution and controls, so it adapts to your tooling rather than forcing a migration.
How does Actigy keep the books accurate?
Work follows documented procedures with reconciliations and a QA review before your controller signs off. Recurring issues are root-caused and procedures updated, which steadily reduces adjusting entries and shortens the close.
Can Actigy help us get audit-ready?
Yes. Actigy organizes reconciliations, working papers, and supporting schedules so your auditors have what they need. Clean documentation is a core part of the delivery, which is especially useful ahead of audit, fundraising, or due diligence.
How much does outsourced accounting cost?
Actigy prices accounting per FTE — a transparent monthly rate per role, set by the role and your industry, not per transaction or by volume. A Tech Lead owns quality, and you can run a managed team or staff augmentation. We work in your accounting platform and quote after a short process audit, with your controller keeping oversight.
Is outsourcing accounting a good idea?
For most growing companies, yes: it gives a faster, documented close without building a full in-house team, while your controller or CPA keeps review and sign-off. It is the wrong choice if you need a licensed firm to issue an audit opinion.
