3. INTERVIEWANDTEST
THEPERSON
Before hiring remote staff, it is highly recommended to
interview the candidates, and if required take a test to
determine how qualified they are for the position. You
must not skip this process at this stage. This is where
it is broadly defined if a person actually matches the
requirements and suitable to be hired. You can have
more than one candidates lined up for the position in
context.
At Entigrity, we primarily understand the job descrip-
tion in detail, enabling us to present you the best
suited candidates for your initial evaluation. Of course,
there is no alternative to your assessment, and the
best way to do this is by conducting a video interview.
Today, technology has opened up all geographical
boundaries before you and allows you an access to a
wider talent pool or one can say 'a Global Talent pool'.
Through the 2-way video conference, you not just
interact with the candidate in real-time but also can
examine their body language, facial expressions, com-
munication skills, personality, etc.
This could be followed by examining the candidates'
technical expertise through an online test. At Entigrity,
we always advise our clients to conduct an online test.
It will give you the best idea of the applicant's knowl-
edge level and practical understanding.
www.entigrity.com
Live video interviews are
quite similar to an in-person
interview, allowing the partic-
ipants to speak fluidly with
each other. It eliminates
travel and in-office waiting
time for candidates. Addition-
ally, it allows a more stream-
lined scheduling process for
busy accountants, and other
key stakeholders in the hiring
process.
At Entigrity, before presenting a candidate for interview, we conduct detailed background checks, and
not only that we also submit relevant identity and qualification credentials to our clients. This helps
you in knowing the candidate better, deciding who would be the best fit, and finally having the best
person on job. Moreover, it also helps you determine the potential longevity of the particular staff in
your firm.
The interview could well be used as the opportunity for describing to your recruited remote staff,
their role and responsibilities (including the designation) at the firm, types of work the firm performs,
and the nature of clients to be working with. All these details mentioned in advance, is necessary for
a clearer overall picture, and helps him contribute better towards firm's growth.
4. LEVERAGETIMEZONEDIFFERENCE
www.entigrity.com
Remote Staff do not work physically from your office; rather they work from a remotely locat-
ed office in a different time zone. This sometimes is considered as a limitation by accountants
who may find it difficult to be able to interact with their remote staff, and get things resolved
in real time. On the brighter side, your office keeps on working even while you were asleep.
As a usual practice of working with remote staff, you can assign tasks before leaving office, and
check in the morning the task has been completed overnight!
Because of the time zone difference, the staff gets onto the task even all through the night,
and when you eventually get back to work you see that most of the task is completed. At
Entigrity, we always recommend to have three to four hours of overlap, and regular online
meetings in that duration as it all depends on how well you understand each other's work.
“ We look at the brighter side as such
that you assign the work in the eve-
nings, and find it complete when you
come back in the morning. Your
office keeps on working while you
were asleep.”

BODY AT $8/HOUR AND NEED NOT
WORRY ABOUT COMPLIANCE, PAYROLL

5. KEEPMINIMUMOVERLAPOF3-4HOURS
www.entigrity.com
An overlap could be defined as the common working hours when both you and your remote staff are
present at respective offices at the same time and work in coordination. Mornings in your part of the
world mean late evenings in the Indian subcontinent. However, normally there could be an overlap
time anywhere between 3-5 hours depending upon various geographies.
At Entigrity, we always advise our clients to keep at least 3 to 4 hours of overlap time with their
remote staff. This will allows them to communicate, discuss, and review the workflow. Depending
upon client needs, we provide remote staff with overlap which could be anywhere between 3 hours
to even a complete overlap.
The overlap time is the best and sometimes
the only time to communicate with your
remote staff in a whole day, and can be used
to convey the task assignments with them.
You could also review and discuss the previ-
ous day’s work during this time.
The real time communication during the
overlap hours is the opportunity to discuss
work in detail, and provide fair chance to the
staff for delivering the desired output.
“Effectiveness of real-time collaboration can
never be replaced by static communication like
exchanging emails. Managing your remote
teams with none or minimal overlap means
that there is no time available to communicate
collaborate and coordinate with remote staff.”

6. EXPLAINYOURSELFANDDEFINEEXPECTATIONS
www.entigrity.com
Since your staff is not physically present before you at your office, so there will always be a limitation
of not being able to see them personally, understand his expression or body language or mindset.
With this limitation, expressing your thoughts and articulating your work expectations become more
critical. Thus, through the limited available opportunities of communication in the form of audio or
video calls, you need to express the requirements clearly, precisely. A better understanding of the
work will make the staff more productive and deliver better.
Entigrity always advises our clients that although you might be communicating with your remote staff
over chat and emails, at least have a five minute audio/video call. This helps lot of things being clari-
fied and resolved quickly, directly through oral communication rather than written.
If there is a regular communi-
cation and explanation about
necessary aspects, it helps
the remote staff understand
their role effectively and be
more productive. They can be
more engaged with the com-
pany / team, and have a more
positive approach towards
their work and their team.
You will have to explain to the remote staff about the
nature of tasks they will have to perform, brief about
clients, their nature of business, their way of work, and
of course, their expectations. Additionally, the briefing
might include the frequency of the reports needed to
be sent. It usually needs a few minutes call (at times
more than once in a day) but proves to be of great help
in conveying the written instructions clearly and help
the staff deliver better.
Collaborationisthekey:
Collaboration with the remote staff is essential. The
more you collaborate with the personnel, the more
they will be able to expand their expertise towards his
job. An efficient collaboration is necessary to make
them understand their functions better, and get opti-
mum utilization of their potential. This will ultimately
be beneficial to your workflows and processes carried
out much efficiently.
7. REGULARCALLS&MEETINGSAREINEVITABLE
www.entigrity.com
The more you maintain regularity in communication with your remote staff, the better it motivates
them. Staying in continuous touch with your remote staff also keeps you informed about the
status/progress of the assigned tasks.
As your remote staff is aware that work is constantly being monitored and appreciated by their supe-
rior(s), this gives them a sense of belongingness to the task at hand, and will make them an integral
part of the firm. It also helps things get reconciled and resolved as and when they occur. It eliminates
surprises encountered, or unintentional errors occurring in work due to infrequent reviews. Hence,
one less reason to worry in long term as well as having a motivated team working under you.
Consistent communication, reviews and
meetings helps you monitor whether your
remote staff is actually following the policies
and procedures of the firm, and take correc-
tive measures if things are deviating from
the stipulated instructions pertaining to the
task. Regular calls and meetings are a great
way to ensure if staff knowledge and prac-
tice are up to date and well-coordinated,
when local staff is involved too!
“It is important to learn that having consistent
meetings where people can connect in both
formal and informal ways is critical for fostering
team cohesion. It's also important to be on the
lookout for new collaboration tools.”

8. CHATRESOLVESPROBLEMSINREALTIME
www.entigrity.com
Online collaboration enables remote teams to work together. Often chat is far more efficient than
long, drawn-out email chains, as it enables communicating quickly, precisely, and effectively. It allows
to clearly convey your point within a few sentences, becoming more interactive than all other modes
of formal message exchange. Sometimes, you may just need to ask a quick question, or give instruc-
tions; chat is the best medium. It can be an effective tool for exchanging work related messages in
real-time, and get things done with a relatively shorter waiting period.
Every staff at Entigrity has a dedicated phone stationed with themselves, having a US number. A
client can conveniently dial and speak with his staff just the way one is familiar with as calling any
other local staff. However, direct, live chat software such as Skype or Google Hangouts are the most
common communication mediums that facilitate messaging along with audio/video calls, and are
widely supported over most computer operating system as well as mobile platforms.
Live Chatting with someone in real-time is
much more interactive, and there is ulti-
mately less waiting around. In essence, it
feels like you're actually having a real, human
conversation with somebody.
Therefore, chatting with your remote staff at
Entigrity is as good as chatting to local staff
in the next cubicle.
“Chat / text messages are a seamless way of
communication and resolve queries in real time
and you get immediate feedback on the subject
as well. Chat keeps everything on the record
and also hints at what is important”

TIMEADVENTURE
www.entigrity.com
Many accounting firms usually outsource their work to shed extra burden off their shoulders
during hectic tax seasons. Initially, it seems to be a cheaper option but at the same time
making it nothing short of a one-time cost-saving adventure as it also has greater probability
of inferior quality of work delivered. It usually degrades the quality of work, and may potential-
ly spoil rapport with existing clients. Even if things turn out just fine, there is no guarantee
whatsoever, if output will be acceptable if you outsource this task next time. Neither you nor
the person doing your task knows each other's way of working. He is virtually a ghost for you.
Since, he is not your staff who is doing your work, hence, there is no learning curve, and famil-
iarity to the task in case of outsourcing.
As your remote staff matures, he gets more
and more efficient and expert at the tasks he
performs; he becomes integral part of the
firm. This way like any other staff, a remote
staff too gets productive with time and by
these virtues, inculcate the ability to do their
own work besides managing few more
people under their guidance. Hence, hiring
remote staff is overall a long-term solution,
and not a one-time or short-term adventure.
Your investment in remote staff for a long
term is a win-win situation for both, the em-
ployer and the staff.
“Issues are resolved faster with own hired staff
while third party vendors could exaggerate their
capabilities. Why outsource when you can hire
your own resource?”

10. REMOTESTAFFARENOTINTERCHANGEABLEPARTS
www.entigrity.com
No staff could be treated as interchangeable parts. A remote staff becomes an integral part of the firm
with time and gets better with work and tasks list. An outgoing staff leaves behind:
a. Cost of hiring a new staff
b. Time and efforts involved in training the new staff
c. Work delays, and
d. Risk of incoming staff not being able to align with work too soon.
Adjustment to any new work environment may take some time, and even after that it does not guar-
antee to match the quality and quantity of output, which the previous staff delivered. This makes it
very important to judge the newly appointed person very well about his longevity, efficiency, quality,
consistency, and compatibility so that work should not suffer. Hence, it is always better to retain an
efficient staff rather than thinking you could get a new and better person quite easily. Effectively, it
will be a very costly mistake.
Long term employees have
considerable knowledge of
the company's culture and its
services. Consequently, they
understand what works and
what doesn't. In performing
their job duties day after day,
they develop a strong knowl-
edge base, which results in
higher productivity since
fewer mistakes occur.
WEARINGMANYHATS:
Just like the roles of local staff in small- and mid-
size accounting firms are not limited to a specific
task or department, a remote staff, too, is capable
of wearing multiple hats at any given moment. Par-
allel to the primary task assignment, any remote
staff is very much able to perform other functions
such as payroll, Sales Tax, workflow management,
document management, W2 & 1099, client follow
ups, client billing, among various other administra-
tive tasks. The list is endless! The most essential
concern for them is to understand the objective,
and the nature of the task so that he can relate,
integrate, and perform.
11. THISISNOTAMAGICWAND,INVOLVEMENTISESSENTIAL
www.entigrity.com
It is important to note that a remote staff is as good to work like an onsite/local staff but certainly not
an automated machine or a software. Being the master of the tasks, You cannot expect everything to
run on autopilot mode. They cannot turn around things on their own by doing superhuman jobs. It is
simply not possible! He is as good as any other incoming staff to your firm who could work after
taking clear guidelines from your side.
It may take time to train them on certain fronts, such as the usual software you use, other general pro-
tocols of the company, and even making them familiar with the other staff in your firm with whom
they will be working. They might take some time to learn but rest assured once they’ve gained the
clarity in the work flow and process, their performance and efficiency will scale up eventually once
they gain experience. Few things that you might need to do is to train them about a few things or
practices that you have in your firm, and that are not very common with other accounting firms.
THINGS WORK AS PER PLANS WHEN WE
WORK TOGETHER WITH THE REMOTE
STAFF. HE LEARNS THINGS GRADUALLY
AND YIELDS DESIRED OUTPUT.

UsageofCommunication&
ProductivityTools:
Communication over Skype is a convenient as
well as effective mode of conveying your
instructions to your remote staff; as it gives you
liberty to verbally as well as formally describe all
instructions, and allows sharing of files too!
Likewise usage of CRM Document Manage-
ment System, Workflow Management System,
etc. work as tools to enhance productivity, by
helping you and your whole team keep track of
the ongoing, upcoming, as well as completed
tasks. One can also post the latest updates
phase by phase as the project progresses,
significantly contributing to productivity.

“Learning by watching over
the shoulder” method works
only in a local environment.
Educates your remote staff
about your company, and the
way that you do things. Do as
much as you can to get them
adjusted to your company,
and learn how to perform in
their role.
AmericanAccentisnotPossible:
English is the second most spoken language in
India. This is one of the reason why numerous
American corporations have found it easy to setup
their offshore offices here as language barely acts
as a barrier. However, the way English is spoken in
India is different from the American English, and so
are several terminologies, and the ways of con-
ducting other things. At Entigrity, we have our own
in house training facility to help our team under-
stand American culture, and get acquainted with
American accent & Terminologies. Thus, whenever
they communicate with a client, they do not have
any problem grasping the conversation. Many a
times, there are staff working for us who are
already familiar because of their past experience in
the field. Still, it is advisable to initially talk a bit
slower, and keep asking questions if the staff
understood what was being explained. It is also
advisable to tell the staff not to get nervous as
they are not being judged by the accent they
speak.
TREATYOURNEWREMOTESTAFFASYOURNEWLOCALSTAFF
Whenever you recruit a new local staff, you obviously give them some time to get used to, and
align with the guidelines, processes, and protocols of the firm. It is necessary to allow them
some breathing time so that they could figure out all their responsibilities and authorities.
Even though the newly recruited staff is experienced, giving them some comfort to settle
down will give much needed motivation to start working in a favorable environment, making
them more productive in the long run.
Now, it really doesn't need an explanation on how great it is to have productive staff working
for you, does it?
