Plenty of firms will rent you a person by the hour. We take responsibility for the result — at a fixed fee, under a US contract, with senior people who sign their name to the work.
Offshore staffing is cheap per hour — and you still manage the work, catch the errors and absorb the turnover. Hiring in-house gives you control at a full salary. We sit in between: offshore cost structure, US accountability.
| Offshore staffing firm | In-house hire | Sterling Back Office | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you’re buying | A person’s hours | A salary, benefits and tools | A result — at a fixed fee, in writing |
| Who manages the work | You do | You do | We do — a named senior lead owns it |
| Senior review | Rarely included | Depends on who you hire | Every close reviewed by a credentialed accountant |
| Contract & recourse | Usually an overseas entity | US employment law | US contract with GECG, McLean, Virginia |
| When someone leaves | You retrain the replacement | You recruit again | Our problem — no gap in your work |
| How the price behaves | Grows with every hour | Salary plus overhead, every month | Flat inside agreed limits — no surprise invoices |
| Beyond the one task | One function | One function | Five engines on one set of numbers |
| If it goes wrong | You find out at tax time | You find out at review time | Written commitments — and we put it right |
Your engagement is with Global Excellence Consulting Group Inc. in McLean, Virginia — signed before a single credential is shared. US contract, US recourse.
A Chartered Accountant and CPA reviews your close. A PHR-certified HR leader runs your people work. Named, with their faces on our site.
Books closed by Day 5. Fixed fees agreed in writing. Commitments with consequences — not a timesheet.
Bookkeeping, billing, automation, HR and growth on one set of numbers — so nothing slips between vendors.
A named account lead who answers during your working day — not a ticket queue that replies overnight.
Encrypted in transit and at rest, least-privilege access with MFA, every action logged — and a HIPAA BAA for medical clients.
Your engagement is contracted, governed and led from the US. Day-to-day work is done by our team across the US, UK and Pakistan — under the same controls, the same review standard and the same named owner.
That is how we keep a fixed fee well below an in-house salary without handing your books to people you never meet.
Every engagement is contracted and overseen from the US by our co-founders — not handed to a ticket queue.
Based in Washington, DC. PHR-certified, with 18 years in US HR — and the US executive sponsor on every engagement.
