What an Accountant does
They handle the finance work that goes beyond bookkeeping and gives you the picture you actually need to run the business. An offshore accountant typically covers:
Monthly close and journal entries, accruals, prepaid expenses, depreciation schedules
Preparing and reviewing financial statements: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow
Reconciling complex accounts beyond just bank and credit card: intercompany, deferred revenue, inventory
Preparing schedules and supporting documentation for the CPA at tax time or for audits
Variance analysis and management reporting so you can see what changed and why
A strong accountant catches errors before they hit the financials and explains what the numbers mean in plain words. Most growing companies hire one once their bookkeeper has hit the ceiling of what bookkeeping covers and they need someone who can handle accruals, revenue recognition, and clean-up work.
What to look for in an Accountant
The tell is how they talk about close. A strong one tells you their target close day and what they do when something's not ready in time. When you interview, look for:
Specific months they closed, with the size and complexity of the books
Familiarity with GAAP and the accounting standards relevant to your industry. SaaS revenue recognition, inventory accounting, and project accounting are all different worlds
Experience working with a CPA or audit firm. The right answer to 'have you been through an audit' is yes, with the year and outcome
Avoid anyone who can't explain accrual accounting cleanly or who quotes you a rate before understanding your books.

A recruiter's fee scales with the salary, so the better the hire, the more it costs you. On Scout OS it's flat. $1,999 is $1,999 whether the person earns $40,000 or $120,000.
