Almost any part of a business can be outsourced, except perhaps the maintenance department. Certainly outsourced bookkeeping and outsourced accounting is a possibility. There is no reason Bookkeeping cannot be done by overseas companies, mostly operating out of India. The overseas companies have staff that speak English fairly well, although there are banks and computer companies that use outsourcing from companies that have employees using English with too much of an accent that it is incomprehensible. This could be dangerous because clients who become angered by the difficulty in communicating with the company will go elsewhere.

Bookkeeping along with doing tax returns are already being done to a large extent in India. The employees there are usually well-trained, friendly and experienced enough to take care of all bookkeeping needs. Any company contemplating outsourced bookkeeping and outsourced accounting should not worry, it is quite feasible. Much money can be saved ...
... by outsourced bookkeeping and outsourced accounting. Your whole bookkeeping department except for a skeleton crew can be downsized and you will realize much in the way of savings. This money can be put into more immediate and useful projects. If you choose not to downsize in this manner you will be competing with customers who have shipped their Bookkeeping abroad and you will be at a price disadvantage with these companies.

The future seems to lie with outsourcing any occupation that can be done for far less money abroad, rather than employing the home workforce. No matter how much it is being condemned, these attacks on outsourcing is just for public and political consumption and will continue unabated. Large corporations and companies are for the most part international creatures and their loyalty is to their stockholders not to one specific nation. The profits and dividends to investors come first, as their stockholders and bondholders would argue.
