Hire Remote Remote Accountants in the UK
Hiring remote accountants in the UK is slow and expensive. OSCABE gives UK companies dedicated, fully-managed remote accountants from India and the Middle East from £1,900 per month, typically around 46% below the local cost of a comparable in-house hire. OSCABE vets, employs, manages and pays each remote accountant under one UK contract, so you get a dedicated team member without opening an overseas entity.

Dedicated, not freelance
Your remote accountant works only for you, in your hours and tools, fully managed by OSCABE. Not a marketplace or a rotating contractor.
