Interview and choose them yourself. Add vetted accountants, controllers, and FP&A analysts directly to your department. They work your hours, in your systems, reporting to you.

Senior Accountant
Finance leaders at 200+ companies have hired through CoCountant

You know exactly who you need. A senior accountant who can handle multi-entity consolidations. An FP&A analyst who can build models your board will actually read. A controller who’s done this at your stage before.
But the hiring math doesn’t work. A US-based staff accountant costs $55K-$75K in salary alone, plus benefits, plus recruiter fees, plus two to three months before they’re productive. Offshore options promise savings but deliver inconsistent quality, timezone headaches, and zero control over who shows up.
You need a third option: pre-vetted finance professionals who cost a fraction of a US hire, work your hours, and join your team as if you hired them yourself. Because you did.
STEP 1
Share the role, skills, tools, and hours. We match you with 2-3 candidates from our vetted talent pool.
STEP 2
You review profiles, conduct interviews, and select the person you want on your team. Your call.
STEP 3
Your new team member onboards onto your systems, joins your Slack, and reports directly to you.

Featured Case Study
Backpack Group was facing long outstanding and outdated accounts receivable that had not been collected for an extended period, creating financial strain and lack of clarity.
Internal reporting to board members and shareholders lacked structure, insights, and refinement.
The team needed a proactive accountant who could take ownership, modernize processes, improve reporting, and recover lost value quickly.
CoCountant immediately began transforming Backpack Group’s financial operations:
Clearer board ready reporting with improved structure and insights
Outdated and previously unrecoverable AR brought back into the business
Enhanced workflows resulting in smoother operations and better internal satisfaction
CoCountant went above and beyond. They improved our reporting, recovered hundreds of thousands in outdated AR, and upgraded several internal processes. Their work has been reliable, proactive, and highly valued across our team. I now recommend CoCountant without hesitation.

Multiple resources? Custom scope? We’ll tailor the plan that fits.
When you hire through CoCountant, your resource doesn’t work in isolation.
You see everything. Full profiles, work samples, and assessment scores before the interview.
Yes. We present 2-3 matched candidates with full profiles and assessment scores. You conduct interviews, evaluate fit, and make the final selection. We don’t assign resources without your sign-off.
You. They take direction from you, attend your meetings, and follow your processes. CoCountant provides controller-level quality assurance in the background, but management sits with your team.
Your timezone. Every resource is matched to your business hours. If you need EST coverage, you get someone working EST. We ensure a minimum of 6 hours daily overlap with your core team, and most resources provide full-day alignment.
We offer a replacement guarantee. If the resource isn’t meeting your standards within the first 30 days, we’ll present new candidates at no additional cost. After 30 days, we provide a 2-week transition to a new resource.
Our talent pool averages 7+ years of experience. 85% hold CPA, CMA, or equivalent certifications. All are vetted through technical assessments, English fluency evaluations, and role-specific scenarios before they reach your inbox.
Monthly. Need a second accountant for year-end? Add one. Project wrapping up? Scale back next month. No annual contracts, no severance, no re-hiring.
Average time from first conversation to your resource’s first day is 10 business days. For urgent needs, we can expedite to as few as 5 business days.
Yours. Your resource logs into your QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero, Slack, and whatever else your team uses. We don’t route work through separate platforms.
Every resource signs an NDA before onboarding. Access to your systems is governed by the permissions you set, the same way you’d manage any team member. CoCountant maintains enterprise-grade security protocols including encrypted communications, access logging, and background checks on all talent. If you require specific compliance standards (SOC 2, HIPAA), we’ll confirm compatibility before placement.
Think of it as a quality layer, not a management layer. Our controllers review deliverables (close packages, reconciliations, reports) before they reach you, catching errors and ensuring GAAP compliance. Your resource still reports to you. The controller review is a backstop that protects your standards.
Our managed accounting plans (Launch, Scale, Command) are full-service: we own the scope, the process, and the deliverables. Finance Team Extension is staff augmentation: you own the management, the workflow, and the output. FTE gives you a person. Managed accounting gives you a service. Choose based on how much control you want.
