Dedicated Remote Accounting Staff
A dedicated tax preparer, staff accountant or bookkeeper who works as part of your team, on your systems and your schedule.
How BATS handles dedicated remote accounting staff
Sometimes the right answer is another person on the team, not a project. BATS provides dedicated remote professionals who work exclusively on your firm's or company's work, attend your meetings and follow your processes. You get consistent people who learn your clients over time, without running a recruiting process or carrying the overhead of a new hire.
We work with clients in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., so state-specific rules are covered whether you are in one state or several.
Who this is for
- Accounting firms that need full-time or part-time capacity year-round
- Businesses that need a staff accountant but not a local hire
- Teams covering parental leave, turnover or rapid growth
- Firms that want the same person to handle the same clients every year

Dedicated Remote Accounting Staff FAQs
12 answers to the questions clients ask us most. Don't see yours? Ask us directly.
Will the person work only for us?
A dedicated team member works only on your engagement during the hours agreed. Part-time arrangements are available if you need less capacity.
Can we interview the candidate?
Yes. You meet and approve the professional before they start on your work.
Where are staff located?
Staff locations are agreed in your engagement letter. If any work involving tax return information is performed outside the United States, IRS rules under Section 7216 require taxpayer consent, and we help you put compliant consent forms in place.
What happens if it isn't a good fit?
Tell us and we will propose a replacement and handle the handover.
Who manages day-to-day work?
You assign the work and set priorities. BATS handles employment, supervision, quality review and cover.
How quickly can someone start?
It depends on the role and the skills you need. We agree a start date once you have approved a candidate.
Can our dedicated staff use our email and systems?
Yes. Many clients give team members a company email address and access to their systems under their own security policies.
Is there a minimum commitment?
Terms are set in your engagement letter. We discuss the length of commitment that makes sense for the role before you sign.
Who handles payroll and benefits for the staff member?
BATS does. You pay one agreed fee and we handle employment, supervision and cover.
Who is the outsourcing service for?
CPA and EA firms, bookkeeping practices and businesses that need dependable accounting capacity without hiring more full-time staff.
How do you protect confidential data?
We sign confidentiality agreements, follow a written information security plan, use multi-factor authentication and work only through the role-based access you grant.
Can we start with a trial?
Yes. Most engagements begin with a pilot batch or trial month so you can check quality and communication before committing to more volume.
