Most CPA firms offshoring work have never been told they have a compliance obligation under IRC §7216, AICPA Code of Conduct, and FTC Safeguards. Jason Dinesen gives you the clarity, the documents, and the strategic roadmap to build offshore teams that are compliant from day one.
Whether you have 20 offshore staff or are just starting to evaluate vendors, Global Offshoring Advisory meets you where you are.
You have an active offshore team but have never reviewed §7216 consent, AICPA disclosure obligations, or done formal vendor due diligence. The most common — and most exposed — position.
You're selecting an offshore provider and want independent assessment covering compliance, data security, operations, and talent quality — not the vendor's own pitch deck.
Larger or PE-backed firms building owned offshore operations. Geography, entity structure, team design, and compliance from the ground up — fully guided.
Two focused one-hour sessions combining everything your firm needs: the regulatory compliance session covers IRC §7216, AICPA Code, and FTC Safeguards — ensuring your consent forms, vendor agreements, and WISP are airtight. The business advisory session maps your readiness across five dimensions and delivers a scored report, team structure blueprint, and 30-day action plan. Sessions can be taken together or separately.
The full Outsourcing Advisory bundle includes 14 documents across both sessions — all delivered within 48 hours. Regulatory resources are compliance-ready templates; business resources are operational tools your team can use immediately.
