Precision accounting powered by offshore talent
Based in California, Universal Bean Counters was founded by Shaan Afridi, a U.S. -based licensed CPA. With over a decade’s worth of experience in public accounting, Shaan has a profound understanding of the challenges that small and medium-sized CPA firms face when it comes to finding qualified talent.
After dealing with these issues firsthand, he turned to offshore staffing to keep his own practice running smoothly—ultimately reducing his payroll costs by nearly 70%. The effectiveness of this offshore solution inspired him to launch Universal Bean Counters. Providing skilled and affordable offshore accounting talent that’s easy to integrate with domestic practices, Shaan now helps other CPA firms achieve the same success.
