Beyond bookkeeping. A dedicated Senior Accountant who handles accrual accounting, AP/AR, payroll coordination, tax prep coordination and management reporting, all inside your tools, under your direction, from Day 1.
The Sr. Accounting Seat covers all daily bookkeeping functions and layers in the accrual accounting, financial oversight, and advisory work that growing businesses actually need.
Daily recording and categorisation of all income, expenses, bank transactions and credit card activity.
Monthly reconciliation of all bank and credit card accounts to ensure books match statements exactly.
Proper account structure setup and maintenance so your financials stay organised and audit-ready.
Accurate expense classification to the right departments, jobs or cost centres for clean reporting.
Revenue recognition, deferred income, prepaid expenses, accrued liabilities: all handled under US GAAP accrual principles for accurate period-based reporting.
Invoice processing, vendor payment scheduling, AP ageing reports and month-end AP close so you never miss a payment or lose vendor terms.
Customer invoicing, collections follow-up, AR ageing analysis and cash application to keep your receivables current and your cash flow healthy.
Payroll journal entries, payroll expense allocation by department, and coordination with your payroll provider for clean books every pay cycle.
Organised trial balances, depreciation schedules, 1099 tracking and year-end work papers packaged for your CPA, so filing season is never a scramble.
Monthly P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and custom KPI dashboards delivered on a schedule you set, so you always know where the business stands.
Every Seat Includes
When you activate a Sr. Accounting Seat, you get more than one person. You get a complete delivery infrastructure: three professionals working in concert to keep your accounting accurate, on time, and improving.
Dedicated Account Manager
Your day-to-day accounting professional. They handle transaction recording, reconciliations, AP/AR, reporting and all regular accounting tasks. They work in your software, follow your processes, and report to you directly.
Engagement Manager
Oversees onboarding, manages performance, coordinates delivery timelines and handles any escalations. Your single point of contact for anything operational, so you never have to chase updates.
Senior Accounting Advisor
A senior expert who provides guidance on complex accounting matters: revenue recognition, multi-entity consolidation, GAAP compliance questions, and anything that requires expert judgement beyond routine tasks.
Three Roles. One Monthly Price.
The 3-tier team is built into every Sr. Accounting Seat from Day 1. You don't need to ask for it; it's simply how Finsmart works.
Book Your Accounting SeatBoth are essential, but they serve different purposes. If your business has outgrown simple cash-basis tracking, you need accounting. Here is the clear distinction.

We built the Accounting Seat Model specifically because traditional outsourcing models fail growing businesses. Here is what we do differently.
No job posting, no interviews, no onboarding ramp of months. Your Sr. Accountant is pre-vetted, pre-trained and deploying within 7 days of signing.
Every Finsmart professional is fluent in English: clear written updates, responsive to messages, comfortable on calls with you or your clients.
Your Sr. Accountant arrives certified in QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage Intacct and more. No training cost. No learning curve on software you already pay for.
Beyond accounting software, your seat is comfortable with Bill.com, Gusto, Expensify, Slack, project management tools and whatever else is in your workflow.
You direct the work. You set the priorities. You own the relationship. We are not a vendor you send files to. We are your accounting team, extended.
If a professional is not the right fit, we replace them: no drama, no extended notice period, no rehiring process. Continuity is never your problem to solve.
From agreement signed to your Sr. Accountant producing real work, every step is structured, documented and guaranteed to wrap up within one calendar week.
We match you with a pre-vetted Sr. Accountant: trained in your software stack, familiar with your industry, ready to deploy. No interviews required on your end.
You document your processes once: chart of accounts, close checklist, AP workflow, reporting preferences. We build that into a permanent process library.
Your Sr. Accountant runs a mock session on your real data: bank rec, AP entry, a draft management report. You see exactly how they work before anything is finalised.
You and the Engagement Manager review the test output together. Any adjustments are made to the process library, then your Sr. Accountant goes fully operational.
Onboarding: 7 business days. If the fit isn't right in the first 30 days, we replace at no charge.

Client Stories
"One of the things my internal team has appreciated is that the Finsmart team has always felt like a part of our team. They're included in our meetings, collaborate seamlessly, and bring efficiency and productivity that we truly value. Every interaction reflects commitment, respect, and partnership."
Elizabeth Bergen
Owner · CPA Firm, USA
"Finsmart has been a great partner to our firm. Their team integrates seamlessly into our operations, and Manjiri, in particular, takes such good care of us—she's diligent, proactive, and truly feels like part of our team. I love working with Finsmart and recommend them wholeheartedly."
Alicia Hoffman
CPA, USA
"Working with Finsmart felt like having a dedicated extension of my own team. Their communication was steady, their execution was thorough, and they handled a complex, three-year cleanup project with precision and professionalism. I felt confident every step of the way—they truly make you feel like you're in good hands."
Susan Cook
Owner · CPA Firm, USA
"I was skeptical about offshore bookkeeping at first. What I didn't expect was how seamlessly Finsmart integrated with our workflow and how little training was required. We now have four dedicated Finsmart team members supporting our clients across restaurants, nonprofits, and small businesses—with accuracy and security standards I genuinely trust."
Kellie Porter
Owner · Arrow Bookkeeping, USA
"Finsmart has noticeably improved the efficiency of our office. The onboarding was straightforward and communication has been clear throughout. Our team can now focus on delivering higher-value work to our clients, knowing the bookkeeping is handled consistently and professionally."
