Your team is still clearing reconciliations, journal entries, and review items after the deadline. A dedicated accountant gives recurring close tasks clear ownership and keeps open balances moving toward resolution.
You find late adjustments, incomplete reconciliations, or inconsistent account treatment during review. Added capacity helps resolve ledger issues earlier so decision-makers receive more reliable reporting.
Overdue reconciliations, AP, AR, fixed assets, and ledger updates are carrying into the next period. Dedicated support keeps records current and prevents routine delays from becoming larger cleanup projects.
Your controller or finance manager is spending too much time reviewing transactions and resolving close issues. Added accounting capacity creates more room for controls, reporting analysis, and planning.
Open roles are attracting too few qualified applicants, or salary expectations exceed your budget. Offshore or nearshore hiring expands the talent pool while adding full-time capacity to your finance team.
Your team is losing time training new hires on NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, SAP, Oracle, or Dynamics 365. Platform-matched talent can contribute within established accounting workflows sooner.
New entities, acquisitions, audits, or expanded reporting requirements are adding more close activity. Dedicated support absorbs recurring reconciliations and schedules without overloading your existing team.

Top-rated by Clutch
We’re proud to be named by Clutch as a trusted leader in outsourcing.
General ledger, month-end close, revenue, cost and inventory, and systems accounting roles can be performed remotely. The accountant needs secure system access, defined approval boundaries, and complete documentation. For example, a remote accountant can reconcile balance-sheet accounts, prepare journal entries, or update close schedules. They can also maintain revenue schedules, investigate inventory variances, or validate ERP output. Your finance leader retains final approval.
Routine transaction entry, bank-feed maintenance, and source-document organization fall under bookkeeping. Choose an accountant for accruals, reconciliations, close schedules, and reporting support, or a CPA when regulated work requires licensed sign-off.
You should not have to spend the first months teaching an experienced accountant how your ERP handles close, reconciliations, or reporting. 1840 builds those requirements into the search and assesses how candidates apply them. For example, a NetSuite multi-entity role may require experience with intercompany entries and close dependencies, while a European reporting role may require demonstrated IFRS knowledge.
Your accountant works full-time within your systems, reporting lines, close calendar, and communication routines. They report to the stakeholder you assign, join team meetings, update shared schedules, follow your review procedures, and escalate unresolved items through existing finance workflows.
Your team controls system permissions, approval limits, file access, and requirements such as MFA or VPN use. Accountants work within your security policies without automatically receiving unrestricted access to financial systems or data.
Cost depends on the location, role level, ERP requirements, accounting standards, industry experience, and working hours. 1840 scopes these requirements before providing pricing, with no upfront fee to review candidates.
1840 provides a free replacement when a placement does not work out. We restart the candidate search against the agreed role requirements while helping coordinate employment and transition details.
1840 typically presents vetted accountants within five business days and completes hiring in under two weeks. Timing may vary based on seniority, location, ERP, credentials, language, working hours, candidate availability, notice periods, and onboarding requirements.
