A Smarter Way to Hire an Accountant for Your Business


Looking for an Accountant for Your Small Business? You’re Not Alone.

If you’ve been Googling “looking for accountant for small business”, you’re already familiar with the rabbit hole.


You find pages and pages of firms promising “personalized” service—until you see the price. Or freelancers offering low rates with vague deliverables and no accountability. Or accounting software that looks great in theory, but leaves you drowning in setup tasks and missed reconciliations.


You don’t need any of that.


You need someone who is reliable, knows their stuff, understands you (both in words and money), and is affordable.

That’s where nearshoring comes in.

Why Traditional Accounting Firms Don’t Fit Small Business Budgets

Let’s face it—most of the “best accounting firms for small business” aren’t really built for small businesses. They design them for scale, complexity, and retainers. Even if they offer a small business package, you’re often paying for bells and whistles you don’t need.


Here’s what typically happens:

  • You sign up for a firm’s starter plan at $3,500/month.

  • You get passed around between junior associates.

  • You wait three days for answers.

  • And you wonder if this is actually better than doing it yourself.


Spoiler: it’s not.


What You Really Need Is an Accounting Consultant—Not a Big Firm

 Most small businesses don’t need a full-stack accounting firm.

 You need a person—a reliable, skilled accounting consultant who can:

  • Keep your books clean

  • Stay on top of invoices and expenses

  • Run payroll accurately

  • Send you financials that actually make sense

  • Maybe even help you think through your next hire or forecast


But here’s the thing: good talent in the U.S. is expensive. Especially if you’re hiring full-time. And hourly freelancers? Hit or miss.


That’s why more businesses are turning to nearshore hiring models.


How Nearshoring Makes Accounting Easier and Cheaper

At NxDoor BPO, we help U.S. companies hire experienced accounting consultants for small businesses—based in Latin America. These aren’t generic VAs or offshore firms. They’re trained accountants who know how to work with U.S.-based businesses, use your tools, and keep your books audit-ready.


Here’s how it works:

  • We find and vet accounting professionals in LATAM

  • You get a shortlist of top candidates

  • You interview and choose who fits best

  • We handle contracts, payroll, onboarding, and compliance

  • You get a dedicated consultant working in your timezone, at a fixed monthly rate


What You Get

You get all the core functions of a U.S.-based hire, without the U.S.-based price tag. Tasks include:

  • Day-to-day bookkeeping

  • Monthly reconciliation

  • AP/AR management

  • Payroll support

  • Cash flow reports

  • Budget tracking

  • QuickBooks/Xero/Excel fluency


We will match you with someone who has experience in your industry. This includes eCommerce, services, trades, or SaaS.


Let’s Talk Numbers

 Here’s what the math looks like:

  • Typical U.S. accounting firm: $4,000/month+

  • In-house accountant: $65,000/year (plus benefits)

  • Hourly freelancer: $75/hour (with no real accountability)

  • NxDoor nearshore consultant: $1,600–$2,000/month flat


You achieve the same results—sometimes better—and you don’t lock yourself into long-term contracts.


Why This Model Works So Well for Small Business

Nearshoring works because it removes the middlemen. You are not paying for an agency's extra costs or high U.S. wages. You are paying for quality work at a fair price. This goes directly to someone who has a lower cost of living and values the chance to work.


Other perks:

  • Same time zone – No more chasing someone across time differences.

  • Better communication – All our consultants are fluent in English.

  • Stability – No more re-training new freelancers every 6 months.

  • You stay in control – You manage the work. We manage the rest.


It’s the flexibility of freelance, with the stability of full-time—minus the cost.


Still Looking for the Best Accounting Firm for Small Business?

Maybe the better question isn’t “Which firm?” but “Which person?”

Hiring a nearshore accounting consultant gives you the benefits of a full-time team member. You avoid overhead, risk, and HR issues.

You’ll get someone consistent. Affordable. And dedicated to keeping your business on track.
