Accounting Firm Virtual Assistants: Scale Your Practice
Accounting firms face a capacity crisis — seasonal volume spikes, staff shortages, and rising labor costs. Virtual assistants handle the operational and preparatory work that keeps your firm running: client communication, data entry, tax preparation support, and administrative tasks at 70-80% lower cost than local hires.
Key Data: CPA firms using VAs increase per-partner revenue by 25% because billable staff spend more time on advisory work and less on admin (AICPA 2025). For a firm with $1M in revenue, 25% improvement = $250,000 in additional revenue. VAs cost $18,000-$28,000/year per position.
