Question
Dear Ed McFarland:

I would like to know whether it is impossible to outsouring some kind of accounting job by telecommuting.

I am a accountant in China, would like to hearing from you soon.

Best regards

Zheng Kai


Answer
It is possible, but you need to tighten up your English so that it feels like you are local.

The other part is to be specific about the services you could provide. The types of services that are usually outsourced are labor intensive and take advantage of the local lower cost of labor.

Good luck.
