FAQ

Common questions, answered.

Why outsource accounting to India?

Three main reasons: (1) Cost efficiency - India accounting labour is materially lower than US / UK / AU equivalents while quality (CA-led) is comparable or better. (2) Scale flexibility - add or reduce FTE support without hiring/firing locally. (3) Time zone advantage - India team works overnight in US time, delivering morning results. CPA firms and SMBs across US / UK / Australia routinely outsource SMB bookkeeping + close work to India.

Which accounting software does BQP work in?

QuickBooks Online + Desktop, Xero, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Zoho Books, Tally for Indian clients. AP automation via Bill.com / Ramp / Melio / Stampli. Expense via Expensify / Dext / Divvy. Direct portal access with user-level permissions configured per client policy.

What's the typical monthly close timeline?

5-10 business day close for most SMBs. Day 1-3: transaction entry + bank/CC rec. Day 4-5: accruals + prepaid + depreciation + inventory. Day 6-7: review + adjustments. Day 8-10: financial statements + MIS pack + client review call. Faster close possible with proper documentation + clear accruals policy.
