IRS-compliant bookkeeping for US LLCs, S-Corps, and sole proprietors at $6–$15/hr. QuickBooks experts. 1099 & W-2 ready. Save $18,000–$48,000 per year vs local rates.
Sharma Jyoti & Co provides IRS-compliant outsourced bookkeeping to US businesses at $6–$15/hr. Our ICAI-qualified team handles QuickBooks management, 1099-NEC preparation, sales tax reconciliation, and monthly financial reporting — saving US businesses $18,000–$48,000 per year compared to local bookkeeper rates of $25–$65/hr.
US businesses that outsource bookkeeping to India get the same quality of financial records as they would from a local bookkeeper — IRS-compliant transaction recording, accurate monthly P&L, and 1099-ready contractor tracking — at a fraction of the cost. The key questions US businesses ask us are whether it is legal (yes — see below), whether Indian bookkeepers understand US tax rules (yes — our team is trained in US GAAP, IRS requirements, and state-level compliance), and what happens at tax time (we prepare workpapers for your US CPA or Enrolled Agent to review and file). See our full bookkeeping service and tax preparation service for detail on both.
Yes. There are no federal restrictions on US businesses outsourcing bookkeeping or accounting work to qualified professionals overseas. IRS Circular 230 governs who can sign a US tax return — a licensed CPA, Enrolled Agent, or attorney — but the underlying preparation work can legally be performed by qualified professionals in India. This is the same model used by Big 4 accounting firms, who have had large India operations preparing US tax work for decades.
What you need: a signed engagement letter, a data security agreement, and an NDA — all of which we provide before any access is granted. Your bookkeeping records stay in your QuickBooks account under your control. We access them through your shared login or an accountant invite — the same way a local bookkeeper would.
Circular 230 requires a licensed US CPA/EA to sign and file tax returns. Preparation is unrestricted by location.
Overseas contractors are not subject to US payroll tax obligations. You pay us as a professional services firm under a fixed engagement.
We sign an NDA and data security agreement before access is granted. Your data stays in your QuickBooks or cloud accounting platform.
No US state requires bookkeeping to be done by a local resident. CPA licensure requirements only apply to those signing audit reports and tax returns.
