You can hire a pre-vetted offshore accountant in about 2 weeks through Remoteria, starting from $1,500 per month for a full-time dedicated full-charge accountant. Offshore accountants own month-end close, post journal entries and accruals, reconcile balance sheet accounts, produce GAAP-compliant financial statements, coordinate 1099 prep and tax workpapers with your outside CPA, and support budgeting and forecasting work with your finance team. They work with 4–8 hours of real-time overlap with your team, communicate fluently in written English, and typically save US businesses 60–70% compared to a US-based staff accountant at $75,000 per year. Every candidate we shortlist holds an accounting degree, has closed books for US small and mid-market companies on QuickBooks Online or NetSuite, and walks through a live close process during the final interview. Onboarding begins with a chart of accounts review and close process audit in week one. By week two your accountant owns the first month-end close end to end. By month two they handle full monthly reporting, forecasting, and tax prep coordination with your CPA so your finance function runs on a predictable cadence instead of chasing deadlines.

Why Dallas businesses hire offshore accountants
Dallas has become the default relocation city for HQs leaving California and the Northeast, and the labor market has repriced accordingly. A senior executive assistant in Uptown or Legacy West now runs $85,000 or more, and SaaS revops hires regularly cross $120,000 thanks to the wave of tech companies setting up along the Dallas North Tollway. The biggest offshore-hiring pockets are in corporate relocations around Plano and Frisco, fintech and wealthought firms downtown, oilfield services operators in the Park Cities, and logistics companies near DFW. Dallas founders benefit because Texas offers no state income tax but labor is no longer a bargain — every headcount decision gets scrutinized at the board level. Offshore hiring lets fast-growing Dallas teams add five or six operational seats for the fully loaded cost of one Uptown hire, which is exactly the math that makes Texas growth stories work. The relocation wave between 2020 and 2024 brought more than 200 corporate headquarters to North Texas, including Charles Schwab in Westlake, CBRE in Uptown, and a steady stream of California-fleeing fintech and SaaS founders who set up shop across the Dallas North Tollway corridor. Each move arrived with coastal salary expectations attached. Corporate finance and back-office roles in Plano and Legacy West now compete with the same wage bands you would see in Boston or Atlanta, which has compressed the cost advantage Dallas used to offer over the coasts. Three industry pressures define the operational layer. Corporate headquarters and finance hiring around Plano, Frisco, and Westlake keeps revops, accounting ops, and executive support tight. Energy and oilfield services operators headquartered between downtown and the Park Cities cycle hard with crude prices and expect a variable G&A structure. And SaaS and technology firms along the Tollway pull engineering and customer success talent into bidding wars with relocating West Coast competitors. Offshore hiring lets each of these segments hold the line on fixed cost while the Texas growth story keeps playing out.

Top Dallas companies competing for accountants
Offshore hiring is most valuable where local competition for this role is intense. In Dallas, the following major employers drive up local salary benchmarks and make in-house accountant hires harder to close:
AT&T
AT&T's downtown Dallas headquarters and Whitacre Tower campus employ tens of thousands across network operations, billing systems, and enterprise sales. Smaller telecom integrators and ISPs across DFW lose mid-level network engineers and customer success talent to AT&T's pension and benefits structure constantly, which is why so many turn to offshore NOC support and customer ops to fill the gap.
Texas Instruments
TI's Dallas headquarters and the broader semiconductor cluster across Richardson and Sherman employ thousands of process engineers, supply chain analysts, and program managers. Smaller chip design and embedded systems firms in Plano and Frisco cannot match TI's benefits, so they routinely build offshore engineering ops and procurement support pods to keep their cost-per-wafer competitive.
Southwest Airlines
Southwest's Love Field headquarters anchors a large operations and IT footprint in Dallas, hiring constantly across customer experience, scheduling, and crew operations. Smaller travel-tech and freight forwarding startups in the Legacy West corridor cannot match Southwest's seniority-based comp and respond by staffing offshore for booking ops, customer support, and back-office work.

Frequently asked questions
Do your accountants work in GAAP or IFRS?
Default is US GAAP, which is what almost every US small and mid-market client needs. Our accountants are trained on GAAP revenue recognition, accrual accounting, and the standard US financial statement conventions your CPA and your investors expect. For clients with international parent companies, subsidiaries, or investor reporting in IFRS we can match an accountant with IFRS experience, or run dual reporting where the local books are IFRS and the US consolidation is GAAP. Tell us upfront during intake so we shortlist the right candidates.
How does your accountant coordinate with our US CPA for tax prep?
Your offshore accountant is a staff accountant, not a CPA — they do not sign returns or give tax advice. What they do is prepare the workpapers your CPA needs: a clean trial balance, supporting schedules for fixed assets and prepaid expenses, 1099 vendor files, and adjusting journal entry documentation. Most US CPAs love this arrangement because it cuts their prep time in half. Your accountant communicates directly with your CPA during tax season, answers questions on the books, and posts any adjusting entries the CPA requests after return finalization.
How do you handle security of our financial data — are you SOC 2 compliant?
Remoteria itself is not yet SOC 2 certified, but our operational controls map to SOC 2 Type I requirements and we are happy to walk your security team through them. Every accountant signs an NDA, works from a dedicated machine with full disk encryption, and accesses your accounting systems through named user accounts with MFA enforced. We never store your financial data on personal devices, use cloud-only document sharing through Google Drive or your own system, and revoke every credential within 24 hours of engagement end. For clients with strict compliance needs we can route work through your own sanctioned infrastructure.
Who owns the working papers and schedules — you or us?
You own everything. Every working paper, reconciliation schedule, close checklist, journal entry support file, and management report lives in your own Google Drive, Dropbox, or SharePoint from day one. If the engagement ends or you replace the accountant, nothing walks out the door — the next person picks up from the same files. Your CPA and auditors get direct access to whatever they need, and you never get held hostage over your own books.
What is the difference between hiring an accountant and a bookkeeper through you?
A bookkeeper handles transaction-level work: categorizing expenses, matching receipts, reconciling bank feeds, and running accounts payable and receivable. An accountant owns the close: journal entries, accruals, financial statement preparation, and coordination with tax and audit. Accountants are more senior, hold accounting degrees, and can supervise a bookkeeper. Most clients with under $2M in revenue start with a bookkeeper, and clients over $5M in revenue or with investor reporting needs hire an accountant. Some clients hire both — a bookkeeper for daily work and an accountant for monthly close and reporting.
How does timezone work between Dallas and an offshore virtual assistant?
Your offshore hire overlaps your Dallas morning block, roughly 9am to 3pm CT. That covers your internal stand-ups, East and West Coast client handoffs, and the bulk of your inbox before your afternoon meetings. Overnight runs handle reporting and research.
Do you work with Dallas SaaS companies, fintech, and relocated corporate HQs?
Yes. A large share of Dallas clients are SaaS and fintech teams in Plano, Frisco, and the Legacy West corridor, along with oilfield services firms and relocated corporate headquarters. We staff for revops, customer success, and executive support built for fast-scaling Texas teams.
How fast can a Dallas business start working with an offshore hire?
Dallas teams move at HQ pace — quarterly plans, aggressive hiring targets. Book a 15-minute intro, share the role, and we shortlist 3 vetted candidates within 5 business days. Most Dallas clients interview on day 6 and onboard by day 10, in time for the next sprint.
How does offshore hiring compare to Dallas's local talent market?
Dallas talent used to be a bargain, but the corporate relocation wave erased most of the discount versus the coasts. A mid-level revops hire in Plano or Frisco now closes at $95,000–$120,000 base, executive assistants in Legacy West start above $80,000, and the SaaS startups along the Tollway are recruiting against the same Atlanta and Austin firms paying coastal benchmarks. Offshore hiring delivers a comparable revops or operations skill profile in 5 business days at roughly 30 to 40 percent of the loaded Dallas cost — and the retention advantage matters because Plano hires routinely get poached by the next relocating HQ within 18 months.
Do Dallas businesses have any special requirements for offshore hires?
Texas has no state income tax, which makes the offshore math even cleaner: you do not withhold federal income tax, you do not pay Texas unemployment for non-US workers, and you do not file W-2s. The standard form is a W-8BEN collected at engagement (not a W-9, which is for US persons) governed by an independent contractor agreement. Texas franchise tax filings cover the entity but not international contractor relationships. Most Dallas clients route payments through us, so they never deal with international wires or Texas Workforce Commission filings directly.
