The HiresLink Bench
Bilingual, US-timezone, college-educated. Top 3% AI + human vetted across 12,000+ applicants every quarter.
Hiring across borders scares most small business owners. It shouldn't. We've placed remote staff for 280+ US companies — here's exactly how the compliance side works.
We are the Employer of Record across 8 LATAM countries. Payroll, taxes, benefits, contracts — all handled. You sign one MSA with us, not 12 international agreements.
Every placement is W-8BEN documented and 1099-eligible. Your CPA will love us. No surprise tax exposure, no misclassification risk.
Pay one transparent USD monthly invoice. No FX swings, no payroll math, no benefits surcharges. What we quote is what you pay.
Yes — seasonal scale-up to 3x baseline is a standard engagement pattern. We pre-stage capacity in November.
Tax Preparation Assistants start at $2,080/mo per month in salary, with no upfront fee. A comparable in-house tax preparation assistant in the US averages about $58K per year before payroll taxes, benefits, software seats and office overhead, so most finance teams save roughly 57% on the same scope of work. Staffing adds a monthly management fee equal to the lower of $800 or 25% of the monthly salary (3-month minimum, 15-day notice). Direct hire is a one-time 20% of annual salary.
The flat rate covers sourcing, AI + human vetting, skills testing, reference checks, contracting, payments in local currency, compliance paperwork and ongoing HR support. You get a dedicated tax preparation assistant working your hours on Drake Tax, Lacerte, UltraTax CS, ProConnect — not a shared pool or a ticket queue.
You receive a shortlist in 5 business days of your intake call. Most finance clients interview 2-3 pre-vetted tax preparation assistants in the first week and have someone onboarded in 7-14 days, because candidates are already tested on 1040 individual preparation, 1120/1120S corporate prep, 1065 partnership prep & K-1.
Every candidate passes a four-stage screen: AI-assisted resume and background parsing, a live English interview (C1 level or above), a hands-on software test in Drake Tax, Lacerte, UltraTax CS, and two verified employer references. Only the top ~3% of applicants reach your shortlist.
Talent is based in Latin America (Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil), so they work US Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific business hours with full real-time overlap. Your tax preparation assistant joins your standups, answers Slack during your day and closes work in the same cycle as your onsite team.

Reviews from US companies that hired finance staff through HiresLink.
"Close used to take twelve days. With two accountants from HiresLink it's five. They benchmarked the role across Mexico, Colombia and Argentina and showed me where I'd get the strongest US-GAAP background for the budget I had. I hired out of Colombia on their recommendation."
