Outsourced tax preparation services for CPA and accounting firms.

Outsourced tax preparation services give your firm trained U.S. preparers who organize source documents, categorize deductions, draft returns, and keep filings compliant with current IRS rules, so your CPAs stay on review and advisory.

The short version

More returns out, the same review desk.

Outsourced tax preparation services give your firm trained preparers who handle the document gathering, deduction work, and return drafting that eats your team's hours, so your CPAs stay on review and advisory. The capacity gap is real: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects about 130,800 openings for accountants and auditors each year through 2033, so most firms cannot simply hire their way through busy season. Resourcifi preparers know U.S. federal, state, and local codes, work inside QuickBooks, Drake Tax, Lacerte, UltraTax, ProConnect, ProSeries, Xero, and TaxDome, and onboard within 24 hours under a dedicated account manager. We have run delivery this way since 2017, typically about 70% below comparable onshore rates.

You keep client relationships, signoff, and final review; we own the preparation, the QA, and the filing-status reporting. Clutch 4.9 of 5, 600+ projects delivered.

Capabilities

What our outsourced tax preparation actually covers.

The preparation work firms hand off most when they move to tax preparation outsourcing. Each capability is available inside a blended team or as a dedicated preparer when one area carries the volume. Scale the mix for peak season, then size it back down.

01

Federal, state, and local filing

Prepare and file returns across jurisdictions, on time and reconciled, in line with IRS, state, and local requirements.

02

1099s, W-2s, and payroll tax prep

Contractor and employee forms, quarterly estimates, and year-end reporting handled and checked before they go out.

03

Tax document organization

Gather, review, and index receipts, expense reports, and prior-year filings into clean, return-ready workpapers.

04

Deductions and credits work

Identify eligible deductions and credits and document the support, so the position holds up and the return is right.

05

IRS correspondence and audit support

Assemble documentation, draft clarification letters, and support responses to IRS notices and audit queries.

06

Multi-state and business returns

Multi-state filings, pass-through entities, and corporate returns (Forms 1065, 1120, and 1120S) for businesses of all sizes.

07

Software-agnostic execution

Work inside your systems, including QuickBooks, Drake Tax, Lacerte, UltraTax, ProConnect, ProSeries, Xero, and TaxDome.

The whole point

Your CPAs are worth more on advisory than on data entry. We take the preparation grind so your licensed people spend the season on review, planning, and clients.

Who it is for

Built for firms that run out of preparers before they run out of returns.

Tax and accounting firms that need seasonal or year-round preparer capacity without a permanent hire.

CPAs and accountants who want to offload preparation and free up time for review and advisory.

Businesses that need individual and corporate returns prepared without standing up an internal tax desk.

Firms handling multi-state or complex business filings that strain a lean team.

If returns are stacking up and your preparers are maxed, you are who we built this for.

How engagement works

From discovery to a preparer at work inside 24 hours.

01

Discover and define

We map your client base, tax workload, filing requirements, and compliance needs to scope the right level of support.

02

Curate and match

We shortlist preparers trained in U.S. tax codes and your platforms; you review profiles and pick who joins.

03

Onboard and integrate

Your preparer is onboarded within 24 hours with a dedicated account manager, access set up, and your SOPs aligned before any live return.

04

Prepare and deliver

The preparer runs the recurring work: document organization, deduction schedules, return drafting, and reconciliation to deadlines.

05

Quality control and visibility

Routine QA on every return, clear ownership, and real-time visibility into filing statuses and deadlines.

06

Paid pilot, then scale

Start with a paid pilot on a defined batch of returns to judge quality and turnaround, then scale up for peak season and back down after.

Pricing

How much it costs to outsource tax preparation.

When you outsource tax return preparation services to Resourcifi, you pay for a dedicated preparer or a blended team scoped to your return volume, not for the overhead of seasonal hires, recruiting, benefits, software seats, and management time.

Dedicated specialist

One preparer who owns the work

A single preparer who owns your returns end to end, best when the volume justifies a named owner.

Blended team

Capacity across the season

A team sized to your filing workload, scaling up for peak season and back down once it passes.

Paid pilot

Measure before you commit

Start with a paid pilot on a defined batch of returns so you can judge quality and turnaround first.

Rates run typically about 70% below comparable onshore rates, and you size the team up or down as your filing volume shifts.

Questions firms ask

Tax preparation services, answered straight.

The questions firm owners and finance leaders ask before they hand over the preparation load.

What are outsourced tax preparation services?

Outsourced tax preparation services are the end-to-end work of getting returns ready and filed, handled by an external team for your firm: organizing source documents, categorizing deductions, drafting individual and business returns (Forms 1040, 1065, 1120, and 1120S), preparing quarterly estimates, 1099 and W-2 processing, sales tax filings, year-end reconciliation, and audit support. With Resourcifi it is a managed engagement, where trained U.S. preparers do the preparation inside your software while your CPAs keep review, signoff, and client advisory.

Do your tax preparers understand U.S. tax laws and compliance requirements?

Yes. Our preparers are trained in IRS guidelines, GAAP, and state-specific tax codes, and we keep current with tax-law changes so filings stay accurate, timely, and compliant. Every return runs through documented QA, and you keep final review and signoff, so the work is checked on both sides before it goes out.

Can Resourcifi work with our existing accounting or tax software?

Yes. We work inside the platforms you already use, including QuickBooks, Drake Tax, Lacerte, UltraTax, ProConnect, ProSeries, Xero, and TaxDome. We are tool-agnostic and adapt to your systems and workflow, so your firm does not change how it operates to bring us on.

How do you keep our tax and financial data secure?

Every engagement starts with a signed NDA and runs on controls we build to: role-based, least-privilege access so each preparer sees only the returns and records their work requires, secure file transfer and storage rather than personal channels, and audit trails on every return. We run a documented, repeatable quality system, and we tailor controls to your specific compliance needs.

How quickly can we get started with tax preparation services?

You can have a preparer at work within 24 hours. We begin with a discovery call to scope your tax workload and filing needs, match a qualified preparer to your platforms, and set up access and workflows for a clean handoff. Most firms start with a paid pilot on a defined batch of returns to judge quality and turnaround before scaling.

Do you handle multi-state or complex business tax filings?

Yes. Our preparers handle multi-state filings, industry-specific deductions, pass-through entities, and corporate returns for businesses of all sizes across sectors. For complex filings we document the positions and support so your reviewer has a clean, defensible workpaper to sign off on.

What if we only need tax preparation services during the busy season?

That is the common case. The engagement is fully scalable, so you can bring on preparers for peak season, quarterly filings, or year-end support and scale back down after, without carrying year-round cost. You size capacity to your filing volume and release it when the season passes.

How much does it cost to outsource tax preparation?

You pay for a dedicated preparer or a blended team scoped to your return volume, not for the overhead of seasonal hires, recruiting, benefits, or software seats. Rates run typically about 70% below comparable onshore rates, and you can size the team up or down as your filing volume changes. We suggest a paid pilot first so you can validate quality before committing to a larger engagement.

How do you choose a tax preparation outsourcing company?

Look for U.S. tax training and IRS, GAAP, and state-code fluency, work done inside your own software, named preparers and an account manager rather than an anonymous queue, documented QA and security controls with a signed NDA, and the flexibility to scale for busy season and back down after. Ask for a paid pilot on a defined batch of returns so you can judge quality and turnaround before you commit. Resourcifi has run delivery this way since 2017, with 200+ specialists and a 4.9 of 5 rating on Clutch.
