How to Build an Accountancy Team in India

Discover the Hows, Whys, and Lessons Learned from My Offshore Venture

Hi everyone,

If you’ve also thought of building an accountancy offshore team in India, this newsletter is for you! 🚀

With nearly two decades of experience under my belt and countless “how I built my accountancy team in India” questions in my inbox, today, I'm kicking off a series to spill the beans - the good, the challenging, and the game-changing.

In the next 7 days, you’ll have all the insights about setting up and running your offshore accountancy team in India.

Day 1: Let's Talk Mindset

In the accountancy business, mindset matters most. It's about being proactive, adaptable, and strategic. A positive mindset is crucial for tackling challenges in offshoring and ensuring long-term success.

For me, it all started with third-party firms in 2005, but the costs climbed, and service nosedived. Pre-COVID, I pulled the plug and brought it back home. Post-COVID, hiring in the UK? Mission impossible.

No surrender. No third parties this time. We did it ourselves, armed with experience and a solid grasp of India's scene. Now, an office in Delhi, a 20-strong team, and a second office are on the horizon in six months.

All in all, here’s what you can learn from my experience:

1.      Strategic Shift Pays Off: Transitioning from third-party outsourcing to an in-house offshore team strategically enhanced our operations.

2.      Adaptability in Hiring: Post-COVID challenges in hiring prompted us to adapt our offshore strategy, emphasizing the need for flexibility.

3.      Leveraging Past Experience: Learning from previous outsourcing experiences, we successfully established our own company in India.

4.      Game-Changing Results: The operational success of our current team in Delhi underscores the significance of a well-executed offshore venture.
