"Our books are a mess. I don't know what's reconciled, what's not, or if the numbers I'm even looking at are accurate. And until that's fixed, there's no way to answer the bigger question: are we actually making money?"

Sound familiar? You're not alone. Whether it's a reconciliation backlog, a bookkeeper who's behind, or books that are technically "done" but nobody fully trusts: we hear this constantly. And we built our model around fixing the books first, then answering what they actually mean.

What Makes Us Different

We don't just place people. We ask what your books actually need first.

Every client starts in a different place. Some know exactly what they need: someone to own reconciliations, AP, payroll coordination, and the monthly close. That's a bookkeeper, and it's most of what we place. We staff that role every day, and we staff it well.

Others come to us thinking that's the fix, when what's actually breaking down, cost per location, margins by product line, revenue that needs to be recognized correctly, calls for a CPA-certified professional instead: US-certified, ready to interpret the numbers, not just record them.

We don't default to the bigger placement to make a bigger sale. We ask first, then place the role the problem actually calls for.

Right-sized expertise, either way. Backed by a guarantee that costs you nothing to test.

Here's what that looked like for one client who needed both, at different points.

Will an offshore CPA really understand U.S. standards?
Yes. Our CPA-certified professionals are U.S.-certified and trained in GAAP, cost accounting, and revenue recognition before they ever join your team.
Will it cost more than my bookkeeper?
Rarely by much, and almost always far below what a U.S. CPA firm charges hourly for the same clarity.
What if it's not the right fit?
You have 30 days to find out. Not a replacement guarantee, a zero-invoice one: if it's not working, you don't get billed at all.
Are you keeping up with AI in accounting?
Yes, and it's not optional anymore. Our bookkeepers and CPA-certified professionals use AI daily for categorization, reconciliation matching, and first-pass review, so the routine work moves faster. A person still reviews and signs off on every number that reaches you.
Are you a recruiting agency or a staffing company?
Staff augmentation, not recruiting. Most competitors charge a one-time placement fee, then step back, you own the relationship from day one. We charge nothing on top of the monthly rate, and we stay actively involved: managing performance, handling replacements, keeping the relationship working.
Who We Place

Don't worry about the title.

Every business uses different words for the same need. You may have searched for any of these:

Bookkeeper Virtual Bookkeeper Remote Bookkeeper Bookkeeper VA VA Bookkeeper Virtual Accounting Personnel Staff Accountant Full-Charge Bookkeeper Controller CPA Cost Accountant AP/AR Specialist Fractional Controller

You don't have to know which one you need before you call us. That's our job. We listen to what's actually happening in your business: then we tell you exactly who would solve it, and whether that's part-time or full-time. Not every business needs a full-time bookkeeper or CPA from day one, and we'd rather scope it right than scope it big.

Maybe you need a bookkeeper.
Invoicing, reconciliations, AP/AR, payroll coordination, monthly closes. QuickBooks or Xero-certified, and ready to work inside your systems from week one.
$2,200 to $3,000/mo, full-time
Part-time and hourly scopes available too, we'll size it to your volume.
Maybe you need a CPA-certified professional.
US-Certified · LATAM & India
Cost accounting, inventory valuation, revenue recognition, multi-entity consolidation, audit-ready financials: at a fraction of what a U.S. CPA firm bills hourly.
$5,000 to $6,000/mo, full-time
A U.S. CPA firm bills $300+/hr. This is full-time, dedicated, monthly instead of hourly.
Need less than full-time? Part-time CPA support is available too.

Ranges above reflect full-time. Ranges vary by experience, scope, and hours, part-time or full-time. Just tell us what's not working, we'll figure out the right fit together.

Where AI Fits

The landscape is changing. Our people are changing with it.

Bookkeeping and accounting aren't done the way they were even two years ago. Our bookkeepers and CPA-certified professionals use AI daily, to categorize transactions faster, flag anomalies before they become problems, and do the first pass on reconciliations. AI speeds up the routine work. A person still reviews and owns every number that reaches you.

Why LATAM & India

We didn't pick these regions because they were cheap.

We picked them because they produce disciplined, well-trained accounting and finance professionals who happen to work in a timezone or with an outsourcing culture built for U.S. business.

🌎

LATAM

Countries like Colombia, Mexico, and Brazil run rigorous public accounting certification systems, producing professionals who train in formal bookkeeping, tax, and cost accounting from the start of their careers.
Many of our CPA-certified professionals hold or are pursuing U.S. CPA certification on top of their local credentials.
Time zones largely align with U.S. Central and Eastern hours. Your team is online when you are.
Fluent in English and Spanish or Portuguese, comfortable working directly with your ops team, ownership, or CFO.

India

India's Chartered Accountant (CA) credential, governed by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), is widely considered on par with the U.S. CPA in rigor, and in some respects, harder to earn.
The path runs three stages, Foundation, Intermediate, and Final, plus a mandatory multi-year articleship under a practicing CA. CA Final pass rates typically run well under 20% per attempt, among the toughest professional exams in the world.
ICAI has certified over 400,000 CAs since 1949. Many go on to add a U.S. CPA credential on top, giving them fluency in both Indian and U.S. accounting standards.
India's finance and accounting outsourcing industry is built around this talent pool, with deep bench strength in U.S. GAAP, cost accounting, and multi-entity reporting.
The Process

Four steps. Two weeks. Your decision.

From our first conversation to your candidate's first day: start to finish in two weeks.

1
Step One
We listen first
You tell us what's breaking down. We ask the questions most staffing companies never think to ask: cost per location, margins, what's really keeping the books from meaning anything.
2
Step Two
We recommend and vet
We tell you whether you need a bookkeeper or a CPA-certified professional: and why. Then our own accounting lead personally interviews every candidate before anyone reaches your desk.
3
Step Three
You decide
We submit our recommended candidate. You interview them. You make the call. No pressure, no obligation: the decision is always yours.
4
Step Four
They start. We stay.
Onboarding support included. 30-day and 90-day check-ins. We don't disappear after the placement.
Real Story. Real Numbers.

One client. Two placements.
Both were the right call.

A client running 5 gas stations, 7 pizza stores, and their own store construction came to us needing the basics: reconciliations, credit card payments, monthly closes. We placed a bookkeeper, and that was exactly the right fit for that stage. A month in, they asked a bigger question: "Are we even profitable, location by location?" That wasn't a bookkeeping question anymore.

They hesitated, worried about cost, and about trusting an offshore CPA with numbers this sensitive. The 30-day guarantee is what got them to take the interview. Three months later, they know their numbers cold, at a fraction of what their outside CPA firm charged hourly.

What Clients Say

Real businesses. Real numbers.

30 Day Zero Invoice
Not a Replacement Guarantee

If it doesn't work out,
you never see an invoice.

Most staffing companies offer a replacement guarantee, 90 days, sometimes 180. That sounds generous, but read it closely: if the placement doesn't work out, they send you someone new. You already paid for the first one. You're back at day one, just with a different person and the clock reset.

We do it differently. If within the first 30 days the person isn't the right fit, for any reason, we don't send an invoice at all. Not a credit. Not a discount on the next one. No bill. The financial risk of a wrong fit is ours, not yours.

We can offer that because our own accounting lead personally screens every candidate before they reach you. We don't guess. We vet. And when we're confident enough to put our name on a placement, we're confident enough to eat the cost if we're wrong.

You take the interview. We take the risk, in full.
FAQ

Everything you need to know about hiring a virtual bookkeeping assistant.

Straightforward answers about bookkeepers, CPAs, and remote accounting support for U.S. businesses.

A virtual assistant for bookkeeping handles the day-to-day work: invoicing, reconciliations, expense categorization, and reporting. A CPA interprets that data, advises on tax strategy, and signs off on official filings. Most businesses need the bookkeeper first and bring in CPA-level support once the books are clean enough to act on.

Invoicing and accounts receivable, bill payments, expense entry, bank and credit card reconciliations, payroll coordination, and monthly financial reporting. Each placement is matched to the software you already use, so nobody's learning QuickBooks or Xero on your clock.

Fully online. Our online bookkeepers work your time zone and inside your existing tools from day one, so there's no relocation, no local search, and no compromise on communication. Whether you hire bookkeeper online for five hours a week or bring someone on full-time, the setup stays the same.

Not in the way that term usually gets used. Most offshore bookkeepers come through a faceless outsourcing pipeline with little oversight. Ours are individually screened by our own accounting lead, matched to your specific tools and industry, and backed by a zero-invoice guarantee if the fit is wrong. Same time zone overlap, same accountability you'd expect from an in-house hire.

No. Most remote bookkeepers companies hand you a resume and disappear. We built Simpalm to be the remote bookkeepers company we'd want to hire from ourselves: every candidate screened by our own accounting lead, matched to your books before you meet them, and if the placement isn't right in the first 30 days, you never see an invoice. It's remote bookkeepers services with a real person accountable for the outcome.

Either. Whether you need a few hours a month for fractional reconciliations or a full-time hire across AP, AR, and reporting, we tailor the hours to your actual transaction volume rather than a fixed package.

You built your business to serve customers.
Let us handle the numbers.

No long forms. Just a conversation about what's breaking down, and who would actually fix it.
