Recruit & support
Add accounting capacity without adding another layer of outsourcing
There is a meaningful difference between outsourcing accounting work and adding an offshore accountant to your team. With a dedicated team member, your firm keeps control of the workflow. You decide what they handle, which systems they use, how work is reviewed and who they report to.
Shaz & Co. focuses on the people side of that arrangement. We recruit around your requirements, screen candidates before you meet them and support the ongoing workforce relationship after they start.

Accounting assistants and other recurring finance support roles
What can an offshore accounting team handle?
The right scope depends on the person’s experience and your review structure. Common responsibilities include transaction coding, bank and credit card reconciliations, AP and AR, bookkeeping cleanup, month-end support, schedules, management reporting support, payroll-related administration and client accounting work.
For firms with more complex requirements, the role can be built around specific software, industries, reporting routines or review responsibilities. We do not assume that every accountant can do every accounting task. The scope should match the candidate’s demonstrated experience.

Software matters more than a logo list
Used the Software
What They Actually Did
Knowing that someone has used QuickBooks or Xero tells you very little by itself. We want to know what they actually did in the system. Did they reconcile accounts? Clean up books? Manage month-end? Work across dozens of client files? Prepare schedules for review? The same principle applies to tax, practice management and reporting software.
When software experience is important, tell us which platforms are essential and which can be learned after joining. That gives us a much better search brief than simply matching keywords on a resume.
How we screen accounting candidates
We start with the work, not the title. A candidate can have five years of experience and still be wrong for your firm if those five years were spent doing work that has little overlap with yours.
Clear explanations
Work, systems & communication
Screening can consider:
Relevant accounting experience and the type of businesses or firms previously supported
Hands-on exposure to the systems you use
Ability to explain prior work clearly rather than repeat accounting terminology
Written and spoken communication
Availability for the working hours you require
Stability, notice period and realistic start date
Role-specific practical or technical assessment where appropriate
Where your firm still owns the process
Your offshore accountant is not a substitute for your firm’s professional judgment, review obligations or client responsibility. You decide the approval structure, access level and work that can be performed independently. For regulated, tax or attest work, your firm should define the appropriate supervision and sign-off requirements for its jurisdiction and engagement.

A better way to start
Do not begin by moving every process offshore. Pick a role with enough recurring work to justify a dedicated person. Document the first set of responsibilities, define who reviews the work and give the new team member a clear route for questions. Once that workflow is stable, expand the scope deliberately.
