A different approach to solve staff shortages in accounting firms
Finding qualified accountants has become one of the biggest challenges for accounting firms. Recruitment takes too long, interim solutions are temporary, and workloads keep increasing while deadlines and quality expectations remain unchanged.
FairChain Workforce helps accounting firms solve staff shortages by adding qualified, IFRS-trained accounting professionals as long-term team members. Our accountants work fully integrated into your firm: in your systems, within your processes, and under your supervision.
This is not traditional outsourcing where work and responsibility are handed over. You stay fully in control of quality, review and client relationships. We support this with structured workplace supervision, ongoing coaching and a dedicated Account Manager in the Netherlands who ensures alignment and continuity.
The result is a sustainable way to expand capacity without compromising control, quality or professional responsibility.
" Mercy has become a trusted part of our team. She supports our year-end work with care and consistency, which gives our accountants more space to focus on clients and review.
— Bilanx Accountants & Advies. "
" “Asfaw brings consistency and ownership to our daily bookkeeping. He keeps our records accurate and complete, and follows up directly with clients when needed. That reliability makes a real difference in our operations.”
— Finquesto. "
This is not traditional outsourcing. And it's not recruitment either.
FairChain Workforce is designed for accounting firms that need extra capacity, not for handing over work or responsibility.
Our accountants work inside your organization, in your systems and under your supervision. You remain fully responsible for quality, review and client relationships.
Unlike recruitment, we provide ongoing support through local workplace supervision and a dedicated Account Manager in the Netherlands, ensuring continuity and alignment.
This approach allows accounting firms to scale capacity with confidence, especially during peak periods, without disrupting internal processes.
