Built for CPA firms

Your firm stays in frontYou keep the client relationship, the billing, and the final sign-off. The work goes out under your firm's name.
One point of contactEvery engagement is scoped, assigned, reviewed, and answered for by one US-based state tax specialist. Your firm never deals with the production team directly.
Predictable pricingFlat per-return, per-jurisdiction, or per-project fees quoted up front, so you can price the work to your client before we start.

Exclusively for CPA firmsYour firm remains the advisor of record. We do not work with businesses directly.

The single point of contact model

The economics of outsourcing, without the usual friction.

Offshore capacity has a clear economic case and a familiar set of problems: time zone gaps that turn a one-line question into a two-day delay, language and cultural barriers in the details of a return, and staff turnover your firm ends up managing from a distance.

STC Resourcing is structured so your firm never encounters any of that. Your firm has no contact with the offshore preparation team. Every engagement runs through one US-based state tax specialist who scopes the work, translates your firm's instructions into production procedures, reviews every deliverable before it comes back, and answers your questions during US business hours. As the practice grows, that role is filled by a designated engagement lead your firm knows by name, never by a rotating queue.

One accountable personYour firm's questions, deadlines, and review notes go to a single US-based specialist who is responsible for the deliverable.

US business hoursScoping, status, and questions are handled on Eastern time. Production runs overnight, so work handed off in the afternoon is often back the next morning.

Your systems and standardsWork is performed in your firm's tax software environment or ours, in your formats, following your review standards and procedures.

Security and confidentiality

Designed to protect client data and your firm's standards.

Third-party capacity should not mean reduced control. Data handling, access, and disclosure considerations are documented before any work begins, and your point of contact is responsible for enforcing them.

US-administered virtual desktopsClient data lives in access-controlled virtual environments administered from the United States. No data is stored on local or personal devices.

Controlled accessRole-based permissions, multi-factor authentication, and full session logging for every user who touches client data.

Written protectionsConfidentiality, data handling, and engagement terms set in a written services agreement with your firm.
