I have been working with One Accounting for several years and have nothing but amazing things to say. They have handled all my accounting, payroll, and taxes, and I have zero complaints.
They are prompt in answering my questions, informative when I have inquiries, and understanding when I make mistakes. I’ve recommended them to several friends and won’t hesitate to continue doing so.

Nicole with Avenues Financial is the BEST! She is always professional, organized, and trustworthy. With her expertise, we were able to get a higher tax refund than we would have gotten with another company. She is like the hidden gem that not everyone knows about but everyone SHOULD know about for their businesses. She is experienced in all things accounting, forecasting, business strategy, budgeting, controller services, CFO, and CPA services. She is the advisor every business needs on their team! Highly recommended!!

Marya Samuelson

1.0★
Marya Samuelson's Review Sourced from Google
CSI Accounting may try to spin this by saying they offered me a new accountant or that taking onboarding fees from my account—after our relationship was terminated—was warranted. It was not.
The truth: I received no tax advice, no business guidance, and no real onboarding. The only thing they provided was payroll, which I paid for separately. My assigned tax person came to our meeting without reviewing my file, admitted to being new to the systems, and openly struggled to use them.
Charging me for this is indefensible. Withholding services, then helping themselves to my business account after termination, destroyed any trust. Whatever they claim, the fact is simple: I paid for services I never received.
I hired CSI Accounting to support my business with the expectation of receiving high-quality service based on their confident promises. Unfortunately, the experience was deeply disappointing. Despite the strong sales pitch, they failed to deliver on key aspects of their service.
When I raised concerns and requested a fair negotiation regarding payment for services that were never rendered, they abruptly ended our relationship “effective immediately.” I then began formally disputing those charges through my American Express account. Rather than respond to the dispute in good faith or allow the process to play out, CSI took an entirely inappropriate step: they bypassed the dispute process and directly accessed my business checking account—without my consent—to withdraw the same funds.
This withdrawal occurred more than a week after our business relationship had already been terminated and without any form of authorization from me. I did not give permission for this transaction, and their actions represent a serious breach of both trust and professional ethics.

CSI has done a great job handling our payroll services. Everything is always done on time. Online tools are smooth and intuitive, and our rep, Emma, does a great job helping us stay compliant with new laws and regulations. She saved my butt this week when I entered my payroll but forgot to submit it. Thanks Emma!

I have used CSI for all of my payroll, bookkeeping and accounting needs for over one year now. I also use them for my taxes, both personal and business.
I really appreciate the fact that it is all in one company. They all work as a team and support each other in their roles. Burt, my accountant, has been instrumental in my growing business, taking the time to really hear my concerns and answer all of my questions. He provides me with insightful ways to save money and build up my business. Alex, our payroll specialist, is spectacular. Alex manages a very very complex payroll (everchanging) with such grace and support. Bert, our payroll specialist supervisor is awesome, and jumps in when needed. My books are always concise, thank you, Erin, and questions needing answers are relayed to me in a way that works for my busy schedule. I would recommend CSI to any business looking for that type of personable and knowledgeable support for your growing business. Thank you, CSI. Here is to another year of growth!

It has been an absolute joy working with Jessica and Carla over the past year and a half. Jessica played a key role in helping me transition into ownership of a successful wine bar in Arlington, VA and has continued to be an invaluable asset to my business. She is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and makes bookkeeping and tax prep feel effortless. Her guidance and support have made a huge difference in helping me stay organized and on top of my finances.
Carla is equally amazing—she manages receipts and expenses with impressive efficiency and professionalism, making QuickBooks organization a breeze. Their systems are streamlined, user-friendly, and truly designed to make a business owner’s life easier.
I genuinely don’t know what I’d do without their support. I highly recommend working with Jessica and Carla for reliable, thoughtful, and expert bookkeeping and CPA services.

I’ve worked with Jessica for the past five years, and she has been an absolute lifesaver for my business. As a small business owner, bookkeeping and accounting used to feel overwhelming, but Jessica has taken all of that off my plate. She’s incredibly easy to work with, super responsive, and ensures everything is up-to-date and accurate from start to finish.
Her full-service capabilities mean that I never have to worry about missing a deadline or keeping up with the latest legal requirements. Jessica provides clear, comprehensive records, and always has me covered. Beyond her expertise, she’s just a really nice person who makes the whole process stress-free.
I recommend Jessica to all my friends with small businesses, and she’s the first person I think of for any bookkeeping or accounting needs. If you’re looking for someone who can simplify your financial management, I highly recommend her!

They took time to explain everything, cleaned up our site, fixed technical issues we didn’t even know about, and built a smart strategy tailored to our business. If you want real SEO results from someone who actually cares about your success, ProfitWerx is the way to go. Highly recommend!

Monthly transaction volume reaches 40-50 or more entries
Payroll, tax filings, or reporting begin consuming operational time
At those stages, manual bookkeeping becomes inefficient and increases the risk of errors or missed compliance deadlines.
Accounting outsourcing is also driven by efficiency. Around 65% of businesses outsource finance and accounting tasks to free up internal resources and focus on growth.
As requirements expand, they provide structure, accuracy, and regulatory oversight that small internal teams often struggle to maintain.
What accounting services do most top accounting companies offer in the US?
The best accounting firms in the US typically provide a mix of core financial, compliance, and advisory services.
Common offerings include:
Bookkeeping and bank reconciliations
Financial statement preparation
Payroll processing
Accounts payable and receivable management
Tax planning and federal, state, and local tax filings
Many firms also offer:
Budgeting and forecasting
Cash flow and financial performance analysis
Audit preparation and internal controls assessments
Compliance support under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
Many businesses outsource several accounting functions at the same time, which is why US companies typically offer these services as bundled, ongoing engagements rather than isolated tasks.
This approach aligns with the scale of the finance and accounting outsourcing market, which stood at $54.79 billion in 2025.
How much does it cost to hire top accounting firms in the United States?
The cost of hiring one of these firms in the United States depends on business size, transaction volume, and service complexity. Typical pricing includes:
$300-$800 per month for basic bookkeeping and reconciliations
$150-$400 per hour for specialized CPA services
$800-$2,500 per month for comprehensive monthly packages (payroll, reporting, tax support)
$2,500-$5,000+ per month for mid-sized or higher-complexity businesses
At a macro level, the global accounting outsourcing market is expected to exceed $80 billion by 2030, as companies pursue cost efficiencies of 20-60% compared to maintaining full in-house accounting teams.
What additional costs can I expect from these types of companies?
In addition to base retainers, they often charge for specialized or non-recurring services, such as:
Year-end financial statements
Multi-state or corporate tax filings
Audit preparation
System migrations
International compliance
Advisory or consulting projects
Other common add-ons include payroll setup, budgeting assistance, and financial forecasting.
For many growing businesses, these services increase total annual accounting spend by 20-40% beyond base fees.
While this raises short-term costs, outsourcing often reduces overall operating expenses by eliminating the need for full-time internal finance staff and minimizing compliance risks.
What do I need to know before I switch to a top accounting firm?
Switching companies usually involves a transition period of 4-8 weeks. During this time, businesses should be prepared to provide:
2-3 years of financial statements
Prior tax filings
Payroll records
Access to accounting software
A brief overlap between outgoing and incoming firms is common and helps:
Resolve open items
Prevent reporting gaps
Ensure continuity of compliance
Planning the transition outside of peak tax or reporting seasons further reduces disruption and operational risk.
