Who we are

A4A is an Australian firm that provides managed outsourcing exclusively for accounting practices.

We run your engine room with Australian accountability and Chartered Accountant (CA) accountable sign-off on every engagement.

What we do

We give you capacity without headcount. Work is produced by our Malaysian delivery team using standardised processes and shared trackers, then receives accountable sign-off in Australia by a CA. We own workflow, quality, timelines and issue resolution, so your senior people can focus on advisory and growth.

Why firms choose us

  • Australian accountability - you contract with an Australian company and a named CA engagement owner.

  • Quality-owned - accountable sign-off in Australia before you lodge

  • Capacity on demand - scale up in peaks and scale back in quiet periods

  • Transparent workflow - shared tracker, documented QA gates, clear SLAs

  • Secure practices - least privilege access, MFA where available, no local data storage

The challenges we solve

We understand the day-to-day realities for small and mid-sized firms because we work in them too.

  • Hiring is hard, and retention is costly

  • Regulations change, and training takes time

  • Partners lose hours to non-revenue work

  • Technology and process change can stall delivery

A4A removes that burden. We run production, keep WIP moving, maintain quality, and provide clear visibility, so you can win new clients, strengthen existing relationships and lift profitability.
