Why Account Sense Keeps Everything In-House (And Why It Matters to Your Business)

By: Jennifer Mitchell

In today’s market, many accounting firms are outsourcing much of their work to offshore teams. This isn’t unique to accounting, and we understand why many decide to take that road. In fact, it is now more common than not to send work overseas. And while firms are required to disclose outsourced tax work, much of the other work done by accounting firms doesn’t require client notification. Do you know who has access to your data and is doing your work?

At Account Sense, we made a conscious decision to stick to our tried-and-true philosophy. All of our client work is done internally by people we know personally and have vetted thoroughly. All of the vendors we collaborate with are based in the U.S. too. We believe this approach works in our clients’ favor and is necessary to deliver on our promise of concierge-level service, including:

Your Data Stays Safe

When it comes to managing your financial data, we don’t cut corners. While offshoring can seem cost-effective, it can also mean sending your sensitive information across borders to places that may have less oversight. We’re not about that. Keeping everything in-house means your financial records stay secure, protected by U.S. laws, and handled with care by people you can contact directly.

We don’t just follow the rules—we embrace them. This approach guarantees that your business’s private data remains safeguarded under the strictest regulations. And we sleep better at night knowing that you can sleep better, too.

Accuracy You Can Count On

Your business deserves someone who gets it. While offshore teams are often well trained, it is hard to find the same level of expertise in U.S. tax laws or small business regulations that we have in-house and that your business needs. We make sure our team is up to date and knowledgeable, which means fewer mistakes.

Accounting is about much more than simply crunching numbers. It’s about helping you understand the financial health of your business so you can make informed decisions. We make it a point to speak your language (not just accountant-speak) and break things down in ways that make sense for you, whether you’re a numbers person or not.

People Over Profits

Sure, we could follow the trend and outsource. But for us, this business isn’t about taking shortcuts to increase our bottom line. It’s about relationships—building trust and providing a level of service that makes your life easier.

When you work with us, you’re getting a dedicated team that’s invested in your success. We collaborate with you to understand your goals and challenges, and we craft solutions tailored to your needs. It’s personal, and that’s how we like it. We may not always chase the highest profit margins, but we believe the long-term relationships we build with clients are far more valuable.

Transparency and Control

Do you prefer to know exactly who’s handling your books and where your data is stored? That’s what you get when you partner with Account Sense. You won’t be passed from department to department or wonder whether someone halfway across the globe is looking after your finances. We offer full transparency and complete control over your financial information because you should never be left in the dark.

We also know that every business has its own way of doing things, so we meet you where you are—without judgment. If your books are a mess, that’s okay. We’ll work with you to clean things up, streamline your processes, and make sure everything is running smoothly. We’re here to help, not to lecture.

Why This Approach Works for You

At the end of the day, you need an accounting firm that’s got your back, makes things simple, communicates clearly, and handles your data like it’s their own. At Account Sense, we’ve designed our service around being that partner for you. We focus on security, accuracy, and building real connections with the small businesses we support—so you can focus on what you do best.

If you’re looking for a team that’s as serious about your success as you are, let’s talk. We’ll handle the numbers, so you can handle your business.
