No doubt, setting up an offshore team is a rewarding process; otherwise, none of the big Accounting Firms would do so, but it requires 100% commitment and realistic expectations. At Star Sterling Outsource we have experienced repositioning firm or business as forward-looking ‘advisers’ rather than historical data reporting accountants is the primary reason firms set up offshore teams. The overseas team prepares financials, and the home team focuses on high-value advisory, business development, and growing the firm. Star Sterling Outsource have provided a detailed service flow overview of the process. However, for the successful implementation of offshore strategy, it’s paramount that the entire process is clearly laid out from the outset.
It’s a free, non-obligatory 60-90 minutes Zoom call to understand your business and aspirations. So, we’ll formulate a strategy & timeline accordingly. Most importantly, we’ll answer all your queries. At the end of the call, you will have a clear understanding and the strategy you wish to proceed with.
We will agree to the scope, timeline and fees. Our fees are transparent and agreed upon in advance, so there are no unpleasant surprises.
