Our Hiring Process

OSI recruits and hires only from within the United States. Your accounting team is made up of OSI employees – your financial records are not passed on to subcontractors, and no work is done overseas. OSI also carries both professional liability (E&O) insurance as well as employee dishonesty coverage.

Finding skilled, experienced professionals to handle your daily accounting and bookkeeping is a laborious and time-consuming process. OSI takes over the responsibility of staffing your accounting department. OSI receives approximately 10 resumes a day, 365 days a year. Of the people who send resumes, roughly 33% are selected for pre-hire testing. Only 5% of candidates who take the 4-hour accounting test actually score high enough to move into the interview process. After the thorough pre-hire interview process, only 50% of those interviewed meet the extremely high hiring qualifications at OSI and are offered positions on our team.

All OSI bookkeepers are required to become certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors within 6 months of joining the OSI team, and to maintain their certification annually. Put simply, our people are the best in the industry. Doesn’t your business deserve the best?
