If you're looking to outsource accounting instead of hiring in-house, IMAAR Associates gives you a dedicated offshore accounting team — bookkeeper, senior accountant and controller-level oversight — with every close reviewed by a US-licensed CPA. Same quality as a US firm, at offshore pricing, with flat monthly billing in USD.
Outsourced accounting means handing your company's accounting function — not just data entry, but the reporting, review and financial-management work that a controller or accounting manager would normally own — to an external team instead of building that function in-house. For a growing US small business, that usually means you get more capability than a single in-house hire could offer, at a fraction of the fully-loaded cost of US accounting salaries.
At IMAAR Associates, accounting outsourcing works like this: our Lahore-based delivery team handles the day-to-day work inside the software you already use — QuickBooks Online, Xero, Gusto, whatever your business runs on — and every monthly close is reviewed by Muhammad Abbas, CPA (Washington State), before it reaches you. You're not choosing between quality and cost. The offshore delivery model is exactly how we're able to offer US CPA-reviewed accounting at a price a local firm charging US hourly rates simply can't match.
All transactions categorized, bank and credit card accounts reconciled monthly, and your chart of accounts kept clean — the foundation every accurate financial statement depends on.
Bills entered and scheduled for payment, invoices sent and tracked, and aging reports reviewed regularly so cash flow issues get caught before they become problems.
Profit & loss, balance sheet and cash flow statements delivered every month, formatted for owners, lenders and investors — not just raw exports from your accounting software.
Budget-to-actual tracking, month-end close management, account-level review and process controls — the layer above bookkeeping that catches errors and keeps your books audit-ready.
Every close is reviewed by a US-licensed CPA before it's delivered, so you're getting a second, credentialed set of eyes — not just offshore data entry passed straight through.
QuickBooks Online, Xero, Gusto, ADP and most standard US accounting and payroll platforms — we work inside your existing systems, we don't ask you to switch.
When you outsource accounting, you're comparing three real options: an in-house hire, a local US accounting firm, or an outsourced accounting firm like ours. Each has a different cost and coverage profile, and it's worth being honest about the trade-offs rather than pretending one option wins on every dimension.
An in-house accountant is a single point of failure — one salary, one skill set, one person who can be out sick or leave for a better offer, and you're paying US wages, payroll taxes and benefits for it. A local US accounting firm bills at US hourly rates, and for an ongoing monthly function that adds up fast. Outsourced accounting firms operating from lower-cost markets like Pakistan can staff a full team — bookkeeper, accountant, controller-level reviewer — for less than one US salary, and route every deliverable through a US-licensed CPA before it reaches you.
We don't hide that our delivery team is based in Lahore, Pakistan. It's the reason we can offer this level of coverage at this price point, and it's paired with US CPA oversight specifically so you're not trading quality for cost — you're getting both.
Outsourced accounting is priced by transaction volume and the scope of reporting and oversight you need — starter packages for lean small businesses up through full controller-level engagements for growing companies. Current package pricing is a flat monthly rate — get your quote, or see typical inclusions on our pricing page.
A full outsourced accounting engagement typically covers day-to-day bookkeeping, bank and credit card reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable management, monthly financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow), and controller-level oversight such as budget-to-actual tracking and month-end close. It goes further than bookkeeping alone by adding review, reporting and financial-management functions on top of the transaction work.
An in-house accountant is one person, on one salary, with one set of skills, who can get sick, go on leave, or leave the company. An outsourced accounting engagement gives you a small team — bookkeeper, senior accountant and CPA reviewer — for less than a single US salary, with built-in redundancy and no payroll tax, benefits or turnover risk on your side.
Yes. We work inside your existing US-based cloud platforms such as QuickBooks Online or Xero rather than moving your data anywhere else. Access is role-based, logged and revocable at any time, and every engagement is covered by a signed confidentiality agreement before any work begins.
Your dedicated accounting team in our Lahore delivery center prepares your books and reports each month, and the output is reviewed by Muhammad Abbas, CPA (Washington State), before it's delivered to you — so you get a second, US-licensed set of eyes on every close, not just offshore data entry.
Yes to both. Startups get investor-ready financials and a controller function without a full-time hire, and US CPA firms use us as overflow capacity during busy season or to take on bookkeeping and write-up work they don't want to staff internally, while keeping client-facing review and sign-off in-house.
