| Candidate match criteria | Dedicated bookkeeping, AP, AR, billing, and reconciliation support | Screen for role-specific examples, tool fluency, communication quality, availability, and evidence of similar remote work. |
| Launch controls | Documented handoffs, exception queues, and retained client approvals | Set access boundaries, escalation rules, first-week tasks, KPI review, and the point where scope can safely expand. |
| What stays internal | Approvals and final quality decisions | Your manager owns priorities, sensitive decisions, policy calls, and final acceptance of the specialist's output. |
