What does Accounting Firm Back-Office support include?
It can be scoped around recurring accounting operations such as bookkeeping workflow support, bank and credit-card reconciliations, workpaper preparation, AP/AR administration, reporting support, document organisation and seasonal capacity. Exact activities depend on your process, systems, jurisdiction and review model.
Is this service for accounting firms or for their end clients?
This service is designed for accounting and tax firms that need operational capacity behind their own client service. Your firm retains the client relationship, review responsibility and regulated professional decisions.
Can we start with a pilot before moving to a larger engagement?
Yes. A small pilot is often the best way to align templates, permissions, turnaround, review points and communication before moving to more client files or dedicated capacity.
What is the starting price?
A scoped back-office pilot starts from $199 USD. Final pricing depends on client-file complexity, volume, systems, cadence, review layers, jurisdiction and whether you need recurring, seasonal or dedicated-capacity support.
How long does onboarding take?
A straightforward pilot can commonly be organised in about 1–2 weeks once scope, access, workflow documents and review responsibilities are ready. More complex multi-client or tax-season setups can take longer.
Can Rudrriv prepare or sign tax returns for our clients?
Standard back-office scope should be treated as operational and preparation support, not a promise of regulated tax advice, signing authority or filing responsibility. Any tax-preparation support must be separately scoped and comply with your legal, professional, consent and jurisdictional requirements.
Which accounting systems can the workflow use?
The workflow can be designed around your existing stack where access and scope allow. Common categories include bookkeeping platforms, tax software, practice-management tools, document portals and cloud productivity systems. Named-platform support should be confirmed during scoping.
Do we need to give full administrator access?
Not necessarily. Access should follow least privilege and match the agreed task. Your firm should decide which files, folders, accounts and permissions are appropriate.
How should client confidentiality and taxpayer-data obligations be handled?
The engagement should fit your confidentiality, privacy, security and third-party-provider obligations. For U.S. tax practices, review your WISP, FTC Safeguards Rule responsibilities and Section 7216 requirements before sharing taxpayer information.
Who reviews the work before it reaches our client?
Your firm defines the review and approval chain. Back-office outputs can be routed to your assigned reviewer, manager or partner before client delivery, filing, advice or attest-related action.
Can you support month-end close work?
Recurring support can be scoped around transaction preparation, reconciliations, supporting schedules, exception lists and review-ready reporting packs. Final accounting judgments and client communication remain with the firm's approved review model.
Can you support tax-season overflow?
Seasonal capacity can be discussed for document organisation, workpaper preparation, data-entry or preparation-support tasks and review queues. Scope depends on lead time, access setup, client consent and professional requirements.
What do we need to provide before work starts?
Typical inputs include a task matrix, sample files or templates, accounting policies and naming conventions, access permissions, client priorities, due dates, review contacts, exception rules and any jurisdiction-specific restrictions.
What is outside standard back-office scope?
Legal advice, tax advice, audit assurance, signing authority, regulatory certification, client-fund movement, unsupported system administration and materially different project work are not assumed to be included.
Can the engagement scale across multiple client files?
Yes. After a pilot, the workflow can be evaluated for per-client support, recurring monthly capacity, seasonal overflow or a dedicated resource model. Scaling depends on standardisation, reviewer bandwidth and data readiness.
What happens after we submit an enquiry?
Rudrriv reviews the requested workflow, client-file types, systems, volume, timing, access model and review responsibilities. We then confirm what can be included, what stays with your firm, the right engagement model and a final quote.
