New to Nearwork?

Vetted finance & accounting talent — sourced, employed and managed for you.

Nearwork is a managed remote-staffing partner. We help US and Canadian companies hire English-fluent talent from Colombia without the cost, risk or overhead of doing it alone.

The problem

Hiring a great accountant is slow, costly and risky.

A US hire is expensive and takes months. Going remote on your own means sifting résumés, chasing contractors, running payroll across borders and hoping the person actually works out.

The solution

One partner that sources, vets and runs the role.

We source and rigorously assess Finance & Accounting talent in Colombia, then employ, payroll and manage them for you. You get a proven accountant on your team in about two weeks, at roughly half the US cost — fully managed.

Talent, ready now

Deep Finance & Accounting talent, already here.

Colombia has a large, well-trained accounting workforce familiar with US GAAP-style books and the modern finance stack.

  • Bookkeepers, FP&A analysts, controllers and AP/AR
  • Overlap with US close cycles and reporting
  • Tested on real reconciliation and modeling tasks
  • Fluent in QuickBooks, NetSuite, Excel and reporting tools
