Are you considering offshoring for your accounting practice? Building your accounting team might be challenging because you need to identify potential employees with the best accounting knowledge and qualifications.
You can hire highly-qualified accounting team members using offshoring. By using an offshore team, you can lower expansion risks and costs.
These are the three points to think about before exporting your accounting process to the Philippines, if this has piqued your interest and you are now considering it:
- Cultural perspective and differences
Business owners rarely consider cultural variations while offshoring accounting to another nations. Filipinos have adapted to Western culture partly because English is one of its two official languages and is widely used in government, newspapers, and publications. Also Filipinos are hardworking and goal-oriented and will work well with your onshore workforce to ensure your company’s productivity and effectiveness. Filipinos are excellent at establishing and enhancing KPIs because they are committed to the advancement of their professions.
- Knowledge of accounting education
Many business owners don’t realize that hiring degree-qualified accountants in the Philippines is straightforward as it is a place where having a college degree is an important qualification for employment. Hundreds of thousands of Filipino university graduates enter the workforce annually.
All professional accountants are required to hold the qualification of Certified Public Accountant, so an accounting graduate who wishes to work in an accounting practice should also hold it. Whether they work for a private or public entity, a Certified Public Accountant will be involved in decisions that call for their expert accounting expertise. These people are devoted to encouraging and upholding the highest ethical and professional standards among accountants.
- More experienced accounting team members
To reduce clients’ costs, several offshoring providers hire recent graduates as accountants, which may be the reason why some offshore employees may not be able to match the standards of the company because they lack the necessary training and expertise. But, the cost difference between hiring a Filipino graduate and an experienced offshore worker is actually rather small.
