LWA LLP expands capacity for growth through outsourced finance staff

The challenge: hire finance staff

After years of growth, LWA encountered a significant obstacle: in order to serve an expanding client list and maintain its commitment to quality and timely service, the firm needed to hire additional accounting staff.

However, finding reliable US-based candidates with ample technical knowledge proved difficult, and reviewing resumes and performing background checks took time away from LWA’s core service operations.

The solution: outsource offshore finance staff

LWA entrusted Outsourced with the task of hiring capable staff that would enable the firm to take on more clients and continue providing outstanding service.

“In order to grow, we needed to find candidates with a balanced work ethic and technical knowledge,” says Amy Chen, Partner at LWA. “Outsourced has been very diligent in conducting background checks to ensure we find coworkers who can further our firm's growth.”

Outsourced provided full-time offshore bookkeepers and accountants — sourced from the top 1% of talent worldwide — who work in the Philippines and report directly to the firm’s team in Los Angeles. 

“One of the things I really appreciate about working here is the culture,” says Apple Moares, a bookkeeper hired as a result of Outsourced’s efforts. “It’s the type of culture that embraces flexibility and modernity, one that makes it easier to come to work every single day.”

The business impact

LWA LLP's high-performing outsourced finance team is only one half of the success story.

“The Outsourced support team has been instrumental in the success of our relationship," Chen says. "When we express any concerns or questions about protocols, they readily assist us in resolving any issues. This has been helpful in making our work smoother.”

With support from their highly capable new team members, Chen reports that LWA now has the capacity they need to continue expanding. “Overall, the team we found through Outsourced has given us peace of mind to accept new clients and grow our bookkeeping division.”
