FAQ
Hiring an offshore Bookkeeper
How much does an offshore Bookkeeper cost?
A fully loaded US Bookkeeper typically costs around $78,000 a year. An experienced, English-native equivalent delivered from Cape Town or Manila — including the team lead, tooling, backup power and management — typically lands around 60–65% lower. X77 quotes exact pricing in writing after a 20-minute scoping call.
Where will my Bookkeeper be based?
Cape Town, South Africa or Manila, Philippines, matched to the hours you need. Cape Town covers US Eastern/Central, the UK, Europe and the Gulf; Manila covers US Pacific and after-hours and the Australian and New Zealand day.
Is this a freelancer or an employee?
Neither. The seat is a dedicated member of a managed pod with a working team lead, employed through our delivery hubs, working only on your account, inside your tools.
