What we do
The People You Need. The Systems Behind Them.
Finance & Accounting Talent
Accountants, accounting managers, controllers, AR/AP specialists, and finance professionals who work your hours, speak fluent English, and integrate into your existing operation.
Virtual Assistants
Administrative professionals who take recurring execution off your plate — scheduling, reporting, follow-up, CRM management, documentation, and operational support.
Systems & Playbooks
We document the recurring processes behind the work so your business can operate consistently without depending on one person.
Capacity Without the Recruiting Cycle.
We recruit, vet and prepare each professional for the seat — and document the process behind it. You add capacity without running a full hiring cycle yourself.
The difference
People Are Only Half the Solution.
A person can absorb work. A documented system keeps that work from becoming a new dependency. We document the recurring workflows behind the role — reconciliations, AR, AP, reporting, approvals and other critical operations.
You get a person who can execute and a process your company can repeat — documented into playbooks your business owns.

- Trained before day one — every seat starts prepared on tools, English and playbook discipline
The cost comparison
What a U.S. Hire Really Costs vs. ARC.
A U.S. salary is only the starting line — taxes, benefits, recruiting and management stack on top. ARC bundles the seat and the system into one predictable fee.
A typical U.S. hire
- $70–95k base salary — a mid-level accounting or administrative role
- +25–30% on top — payroll taxes, benefits, insurance, PTO
- Recruiting & onboarding — fees, interviews, ramp-up months
- Fully loaded — commonly $90–125k+ per year, per seat
With ARC
- One predictable monthly fee — no U.S. payroll taxes or benefits on your side
- No recruiting cycle — we source, vet and prepare the professional
- Playbooks included — recurring work documented for your team
- Fraction of a loaded U.S. salary — same hours, fluent English, LATAM time zones
U.S. figures reflect typical market ranges for a mid-level back-office role — the scoping call produces an exact comparison for the seat you need.
Process improvement
Software Where Software Wins.
Once your processes are documented, the manual steps software should carry become obvious — less repetition, fewer errors, more output from the same capacity.
Identify
Every playbook review surfaces tasks that repeat on a schedule — the best candidates for automation.
Recommend
Your playbook marks where existing tools — forms, spreadsheets, CRM, email — should carry the data instead of a person.
Refine
Documented processes are measurable processes — refined a little more every review cycle.
