A plain comparison of cost, control and risk for a growing business.
Hiring a full-time accountant gives you someone on site every day — but you pay a full salary even in quiet months, and if they leave, the work and the knowledge leave with them.
Outsourcing gives you a trained accountant for the time you actually need, with a senior reviewer and a CA behind them. You pay for the workload, not the chair.
For most small and growing businesses in Nepal, a daily or weekly outsourced accountant costs far less than one salary and comes with built-in checking. The right answer depends on your volume — and a free health check will tell you quickly.
