We created NearSourcing™ Accounting Solutions after seeing a clear pattern among our clients: they needed higher-level financial support to grow, but couldn’t afford the cost of building a full in-house accounting team. Traditional outsourcing and nearshoring introduced new challenges—time zone delays, language barriers, and a lack of familiarity with U.S. accounting standards. We developed NearSourcing™ as a better model. But what makes it different than traditional outsourced or nearshore accounting services?
Your NearSourcing™ team handles the day-to-day accounting work remotely, ensuring consistent, efficient execution without the overhead of a full in-house department. But unlike traditional outsourcing, we don’t stay behind a screen. Your dedicated NearSourcing Team travels to your company headquarters for regular in-person financial reviews—bringing strategic insight, leadership alignment, and real-time collaboration directly to your team. This hybrid model keeps your financial operations flexible, transparent, and tightly connected to business goals.
Most outsourced accounting providers offer little more than glorified bookkeeping. In contrast, every NearSourcing™ team at Strategic CFO™ is staffed with credentialed professionals—degreed accountants, experienced controllers, licensed CPAs, or chartered accountants. This elevated standard ensures that your financials are not just recorded, but truly analyzed, interpreted, and strategically managed by experts who understand the full scope of accounting leadership.
With NearSourcing™ Accounting Solutions, companies get the strategic horsepower of a full financial department for a fraction of the cost. For $14,500 per month, you gain a dedicated team that includes an accounting manager, controller(s), and oversight from a CFO—at less than half the cost of assembling and managing a comparable in-house team. Building that team internally would typically require $300,000–$350,000 annually in salaries alone, not including benefits, overhead, software, or management burden. NearSourcing™ delivers the same high-caliber expertise and day-to-day execution—without the full-time price tag.
NearSourcing™ Accounting Solutions: A New, Cost-effective Accounting Solution
NearSourcing™ Accounting Solutions combines the strengths of an in-house accounting team with the efficiency and cost savings of outsourced or nearshore services. You gain access to highly qualified, full-time accounting professionals—often with more advanced credentials than local hires—at a significantly lower cost. Based in Latin America, our team operates in the same or similar time zones as your business, enabling real-time collaboration and seamless communication. Unlike traditional offshore models, NearSourcing™ includes regular in-person financial reviews at your headquarters, where your dedicated team presents insights, analysis, and a clear picture of your company’s financial position.
NearSourcing™ Accounting Solutions by Strategic CFO® provides a full-time, embedded accounting team that works exclusively for your business. Your NearSourcing™ professionals are not shared across multiple clients—they are fully dedicated to supporting your operations, reporting, and strategic initiatives. Integrated into your internal communication tools like Microsoft Teams or Slack, they function just like in-house employees, collaborating in real time and aligning directly with your systems, culture, and goals. This model ensures continuity, accountability, and a true extension of your team—without the overhead of building and managing one yourself.
Our standard NearSourcing Team includes an Accounting Manager and Controller that are overseen locally, as in at our Houston HQ, by a CFO. We find this model suits most companies under $20mil revenue, however A custom team including AP, AR, FA, IC or CFO professionals can be created to better suit the needs of your company.
Is NearSourcing™ Really 50% Cheaper than Hiring In-House?
Let’s do some math:
A typical accounting department for a company of $10mil revenue would consist of a: Controller/CPA, an Accounting Manager, and one or two staff to handle AP/AR. Hiring for these positions in the U.S. would cost over $350K/year.
NearSourcing™ Accounting Solutions can cost only $174K/year for equally qualified professionals, including the supervision of your U.S. based Controller/CPA. That’s a possible savings of over 50% for you, and your company.

Every NearSourcing™ client is matched with dedicated, full-time professionals who go beyond compliance to uncover financial opportunities, correct accounting treatments, and support strategic decision-making.

In the past 24 months alone, we’ve seen measurable improvements to net income across our client base due to the proactive work of our NearSourcing™ teams. Here are just a few examples:
- The accountant identified the correct accounting principles to apply to the business based on ASC 606 and recognized $2.2 million of revenue in 2022 for a manufacturing company.
- The accountant realized that the materials purchased were being expensed instead of being capitalized on the balance sheet. The result was an improved gross margin and higher net income. $1.8 million added.
- The accountant identified large maintenance expense that should have been capitalized and this added to the net income.
- The accountant identified a trend of growing SG&A as a percentage of sales while the company experienced high growth. Management was looking at whole dollars, not as a percentage of sales. As a result, Management was able to right-size SG&A and this added to net income.
Accounting shouldn’t be a cost center. With NearSourcing™ Accounting Solutions, it’s a value engine.
