Combined with UK-aligned working hours and flexibility for US teams, it’s an ideal environment for building reliable, high-performing finance teams - for up to half the cost of onshore hires.
Offshoring foundational roles like Accountants and Bookkeepers gives you access to exceptional talent at more affordable prices. By partnering with Modern Day Talent to build offshore teams in South Africa, you gain access to highly qualified, detail-orientated finance and accounting talent who are native English speakers and work in European time zones - with flexibility to work US hours.
As a result, you’re able to scale your finance function, maintain excellence, and reduce costs by up to 50%. This gives you leverage to spend more on transformational roles like C-suite hires and 10x engineers.
Some will be - but we don’t recommend making this a strict requirement. Strong Accountants can upskill quickly on different tax systems, and prioritising capability over niche experience typically leads to better hires.
Of course - but we encourage clients to keep an open mind. While we have a strong pool of finance candidates highly proficient in popular accounting software, we prioritise underlying capability over tool-specific knowledge. Strong finance professionals can transition between systems quickly, and requiring a specific tool often limits access to better candidates.
All hires are covered by The MDT Guarantee. As your partner in building your offshore team, we’re committed to finding you the perfect hire. But if a hire doesn't work out, we'll find an alternative option ASAP.
No - your team manages priorities, workflows, and performance. We're responsible for people ops: employment, HR, retention, and on-the-ground support.
Tools and software licences are on you - your team uses your systems and software stack. We can assist with hardware if needed, but your hires integrate directly into your existing workflows.
Once we begin the process, we typically deliver a curated shortlist of high-quality candidates within two weeks. From there, timelines depend on your interview process.
