Sound familiar?

You became a CPA to grow a firm, not to drown in it.

Deadlines are stacking up, the team is stretched thin, and somewhere around 11 pm you're reconciling a bank feed, wondering why you started your own practice.

Deadlines don't wait

April, June, quarterly GST/HST, state sales tax, franchise tax. The calendar never lets up, and one slip means penalties and an unhappy client.

Your team can't keep up

Good staff accountants are hard to find, expensive to keep, and gone right when busy season hits. So the work lands back on your desk.

You're doing everything alone

Prep, review, client calls, admin. You're the partner and the junior. There's no time left to actually advise.

Growth is on hold

You're turning down new clients, not because you don't want them, but because you have no capacity to serve them.

The real cost

Every hour on prep work is an hour you don't bill as an advisor.

Move the sliders. This is the value currently locked up in work someone else could prepare for you, before counting burnout, missed weekends, and the clients you said no to.

We work on your systems only. Your data stays yours.

We log in to your software, your portals and your document storage, and we never download, copy or store client files on our side. You control the access and can switch it off at any time. Add a signed NDA from day one, no contact with your clients ever, and nothing carries our name. Your firm, your data, your relationships.

Up and running in three simple steps.

No long onboarding, no big commitment. Start with a handful of files and see the quality for yourself.

FAQs

Questions CPAs ask us first.

Who signs and files the returns?+

You do. We prepare the work with full workpapers and notes; you sign and file under your firm's name and credentials. You stay the professional of record and keep the client relationship.

How do you keep our client data safe?+

We work only on your systems. We log in to your software and portals with the access you give us, and we never download or store your client data on our side. All document exchange and work tracking happens through Canopy, a secure, encrypted practice-management and client portal, so every file stays protected and accounted for. On top of that, we sign an NDA before we start, and only the people working on your files have access. You can revoke it whenever you want.

Do you keep copies of our client files?+

No. Everything stays in your environment: your accounting software, your tax software, your document portal. When the work is done, it is already where it belongs, and your data has never left your firm.

Will our clients know we outsource?+

No. We work completely white-label: no contact with your clients, no Ninety East branding on any deliverable. Everything goes out under your firm's name.

Which software do you work in?+

Yours. We work directly in the tools you already use, such as QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage, TaxCycle, CCH, UltraTax, Drake and CaseWare, using logins you create and control. If you use something else, tell us on the call.

How fast is turnaround?+

It depends on the type and complexity of the work, and we agree on timelines upfront. Because of our time zone, files sent at the end of your day are often worked on overnight.

How does pricing work?+

Simple and predictable: per return or filing for tax work, and a fixed monthly fee for bookkeeping. You'll get a clear quote after the discovery call, with no surprises.

Do we need to sign a long-term contract?+

No. Start with a small batch, see the quality, and scale up when you're ready. Use us for busy season only, or all year round.

What if something needs fixing?+

Send it back with your notes and we'll correct it as a priority. Your review comments also go into our checklist for your firm, so the same issue doesn't come back.
