Building U.S. Accounting GCCs in India
Your own GCC (Global Capability Centre), built, operated and handed over. Open-book economics, hires you interview yourself, live before busy season
Build. Operate. Manage / Transfer
One operating model, three stages. We stand up your India GCC (Global Capability Centre), run it to your standards, and either keep managing it or hand you the keys
Build
Role design, market pay benchmarks, sourcing and shortlists. You interview and select every hire.
Operate
Entity, payroll, compliance, workspace, IT and security run by Miles under your brand and standards.
Manage or transfer
Stay managed, or take full ownership of the entity and team when you're ready. Your call, either way.
Your GCC vs. a traditional partner
| Line item | Traditional partner model | Your own GCC, with Miles |
|---|---|---|
The model the root | Fixed fee, hidden margin, they earn more the less they pay your people | Open-book cost+, you see every dollar of salary paid to your team |
Talent the result | Pay squeezed to protect that margin | You set the pay, no compromise on quality |
Employer brand who applies | None, can't attract top talent | The Miles name, and a 1.2MM+ accounting community behind it |
Integration day to day | A third party, permanently outside your firm | Your extended office, your culture, workflows and standards |
Where it ends up year three | Never yours | Transition to a fully owned GCC when you're ready, or stay managed |
Open book, line by line
Cost+ means you see what your people are paid and what we charge to run the office. Nothing is buried in a blended rate
// Illustrative. GCC headcount at 30% of U.S. employees, $50,000+ saved per GCC employee, 8× EBITDA multiple. We model your real numbers on a call.
