How much does it cost to hire an offshore bookkeeper?

A full-time dedicated offshore bookkeeper starts at $1,000 per month with Remoteria for a mid-level hire, rising to $1,800 for a senior bookkeeper running multi-entity close. US-based bookkeepers cost $50,000–$70,000 per year fully loaded, so you typically save 70–80%. The rate covers recruitment, vetting, onboarding, and account management.

How long does it take to hire a bookkeeper?

Most clients have their bookkeeper onboarded in 10–14 business days. We shortlist 3 QuickBooks ProAdvisor or Xero-certified candidates within 5–7 days of your kickoff call, each with at least 3 years of experience on US-based books. You run the final case-study interview before selecting.

Is my financial data secure with an offshore bookkeeper?

Yes. All bookkeepers work on company-issued laptops with full-disk encryption, enforced password managers, and mandatory 2FA on every accounting system. We follow SOC 2 access-control principles: named logins (never shared credentials), role-based permissions inside QuickBooks, and immediate access revocation when an engagement ends. Your data stays inside your accounts; nothing is copied to personal devices. Signed NDA and confidentiality agreement precede any login.

Do offshore bookkeepers understand US GAAP and US tax rules?

Yes. Our Tier 1 bookkeepers specialize in US-based clients and are fluent in accrual vs cash basis, US GAAP, 1099 reporting, and state-level sales tax. They are not CPAs and do not sign tax returns. For final tax filing, year-end tax positions, and audit representation, we coordinate with your US-based CPA, who reviews the books at month-end or quarter-end. If you do not have a CPA, we can introduce you to a partner firm.

What if the bookkeeper is not a good fit?

You get a free replacement within the first 30 days. Because all work lives inside your own QuickBooks, Xero, or Bill.com accounts, the outgoing bookkeeper hands off by closing open reconciliations, documenting pending items, and revoking access on their last day. The audit trail inside your accounting software shows every journal entry with user stamps, so a replacement bookkeeper can pick up mid-month without any loss of financial history.

How does timezone work between Miami and an offshore virtual assistant?

Your offshore hire overlaps your Miami workday from roughly 9am to 3pm ET, covering morning calls with New York, LATAM client check-ins, and most of your inbox. Evening tasks — scheduling, reporting, and LATAM client follow-ups — run async and are ready by the next morning.

Do you work with Miami fintech, real estate, and LATAM-focused businesses?

Yes. Most Miami clients are fintech and crypto firms in Brickell, real estate and development shops in Wynwood and Coral Gables, and LATAM-focused banking, trading, and logistics operators. We staff bilingual roles for client services, investor relations, and back-office support common across those businesses.

How fast can a Miami business start offshore hiring?

Miami moves at the pace of deals closing. Book a 15-minute intro, send us the role, and we shortlist 3 vetted candidates within 5 business days. Most Miami clients interview on day 6 and onboard by day 10, often with a bilingual shortlist ready for LATAM-facing work.

How does offshore hiring compare to Miami's local talent market?

Miami talent priced like a coastal city after the 2021 inflow and never reset. A bilingual client services associate in Brickell now closes at $75,000–$90,000 base, a real estate transaction coordinator in Coral Gables runs $70,000, and crypto KYC analysts cross $85,000. Offshore hiring delivers comparable bilingual client services, transaction coordination, and back-office support in 5 business days at roughly 30 percent of loaded Miami cost. The structural advantage is bilingual coverage: offshore hires across LATAM map directly onto Miami's cross-border workflows in a way that local English-only candidates simply cannot.

Do Miami businesses have any special requirements for offshore hires?

Florida has no state income tax, and Miami businesses do not withhold federal income tax, do not pay Florida reemployment tax, and do not file W-2s for offshore workers. The standard form is a W-8BEN at engagement (not a W-9, which is for US persons) governed by an independent contractor agreement. Miami businesses serving LATAM clients sometimes ask about FATCA reporting — that applies only to US financial accounts held by non-US persons, not to contractor payments. Most Miami clients route payments through us so they never deal with international wires or Florida Department of Revenue filings directly.
