With the October 15 extension deadline approaching, many U.S. CPA firms are running into a capacity gap: partners and staff are stretched thin finishing extended individual and C-corp returns while still handling regular client work.
A nearshore tax preparer from Latin America adds return-prep capacity fast: candidates work in U.S. time zones, are screened for U.S. tax workflow familiarity and tools like ProSeries, Drake, and Lacerte, and can be onboarded in 14–21 days.
South Offices places pre-vetted, bilingual tax preparers who follow your firm’s checklists and review cadence, so extension-season backlog doesn’t carry into next year.
Returns filed on extension aren’t simple. They tend to be the more complex cases: K-1s that arrived late, multi-state filings, and missing documentation resolved over the summer, which is part of why they were extended in the first place.
Firms that under-resourced prep capacity in April are running into the same wall in October, except now the runway to the deadline is weeks, not months.
