Dedicated vs Ad Hoc Outsourcing: What Model Works Best for Your CPA Firm?

One of the most common questions CPA firms ask is:
“Should we hire a dedicated offshore resource or use ad hoc support?”The answer depends on your firm’s size, workload predictability, and growth strategy.

Dedicated Resource Model

Best for firms with:

  • Predictable monthly or seasonal workloads
  • Recurring bookkeeping, tax, or audit work
  • Long-term growth plans

Benefits:

  • Staff develops deep knowledge of your clients
  • Faster turnaround and lower review time

Strong accountability and ownership

Ad Hoc / On-Demand Model

Best for firms with:

  • Seasonal spikes (tax and audit season)
  • Cleanup or backlog work
  • One-off projects

Benefits:

  • Flexibility
  • No long-term commitment
  • Ideal for testing outsourcing

Hybrid Is the Future

Most mature CPA firms eventually adopt a hybrid model—core dedicated staff supplemented by ad hoc support during peak periods.

At FintraSure, we design outsourcing structures that evolve as your firm grows.
