A Short Note
A short reading from the bureau. The full piece is in production.
A bookkeeping firm that refused
to hire local juniors.
Two-partner firm at twelve clients, hitting capacity, unwilling to dilute the partnership with local hires. We paired three operators on AP/AR and monthly close. Three years later, they're at thirty-eight clients with the same two partners.
The full case is in production.
The short version
Available unedited from the Concierge on request.
This case is in production. We're waiting on the partners' final read of the draft before publication.
The short version: Granger & Reeve came to us in late 2023 as a two-partner firm with twelve client mandates and a problem they refused to solve the obvious way. They would not hire local juniors — they had tried it, didn't like the management overhead, and felt it diluted the partnership's accountability to clients. We paired three operators (all CPAs in the Philippine system, two with US bookkeeping experience) on AP/AR, payroll, and the monthly close cycle. Their work is reviewed weekly by Anya Castillo, our senior accounting editor, and signed off by one of the two partners before it goes to the client.
The result: the firm scaled from 12 mandates to 38 over roughly nineteen months, with no change to the partnership and no local hires. The Concierge can send the partners' written reference on request.
