FAQ
Why a staffing partner instead of hiring directly? +
We handle sourcing, vetting, contracts, payroll, equipment and IT support — so you get top-tier talent without the overhead, and the stability to scale without the turnover risk.
Will my team member be fully dedicated to my firm? +
Yes. While employed by better-accountant, they work exclusively for you, full-time (40 hours/week), aligned to your timezone and ways of working.
How quickly can you place someone? +
Most firms meet their first matched candidate within days and have them onboarded in about four weeks. Every candidate is interview-ready before you see them.
How do you handle data security and PDPA? +
We enforce enterprise-grade controls, signed NDAs and confidentiality agreements, and issue managed, secured devices — aligned with Malaysia's PDPA 2010 and your firm's requirements.
What's the commitment and what if it isn't a fit? +
We ask for a one-year commitment so the relationship has time to pay off. If someone isn't the right fit, you can move on after two months and we'll replace them.
