FAQs

Which engagement model is right for my firm?

It depends on your workload. If you need someone working alongside your team on an ongoing basis, Staff Augmentation is the better fit. If your volume fluctuates, PAYG keeps your costs flexible. If you want us to handle the accounting work in the background and deliver completed financials to you, the Managed Service model is what you need.

What is the minimum contract commitment required for each model?

The minimum contract period for the Staff Augmentation (FTE) model is six months. The minimum contract period under the Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) model is one month. The Managed Service model operates on fixed term agreements depending on what is agreed for your specific volume of work.

Can our firm switch between engagement models?

Can I interview and evaluate resources before they join my team?

What happens if a dedicated professional underperforms?

If a resource does not meet your expectations, you can request a replacement. We handle the transition process and provide a new accounting expert to ensure your firm's daily operations remain uninterrupted.

How does the Managed Service model differ from the FTE model?

The difference comes down to who manages the daily workflow. The FTE model provides a dedicated professional who reports directly to you, just like an internal hire. The Managed Service model acts as your complete back-office. We execute the accounting and payroll work in the background and deliver the completed financials directly to you, requiring zero daily oversight.

How are hours tracked and billed under the PAYG model?

We use weekly timesheets that track the hours spent on each task. At the end of each month, we issue a single invoice based on the total time spent on all tasks.

How are working hours and time off managed for dedicated staff?

Your dedicated professional works overlapping hours aligned with your US time zone. They receive 24 days of PTO mirroring standard US holidays, plus sick leave, with advance notice required for planned absences. We handle all HR administration giving you a dedicated expert with zero W-2 administration, HR overhead, or payroll tax liabilities.

Will Outbooks communicate directly with our client's business under the Managed Service model?

How do you charge for the Managed Service offering?
