- Headcount you do not have to hire
Your team is not short
of skill. It is short of hours.
- The hire was not approved. Or the last one left. The work did not stop.
- We add the hours your team is missing. Inside your systems, on your hours, under your review.
- Scale up when the work grows. Scale down when it does not.

- How it works
Three questions every
US finance team asks
“What hours do you work?”
The US business day, Eastern time. Send it at 11am and have an answer before you leave.
“Where does my data go?”
Nowhere. We work inside your systems as named users. You grant access and can revoke it any time. Nothing is downloaded. Everyone signs an NDA.
“Who do I call when something breaks?”
One named lead who knows your books. Not a ticket queue, not a rotating pool.
- How we work
Live in two to four weeks.
-

What we do not do
No tax. No advisory.
Your Controller makes the judgment calls. We post, schedule, reconcile and carry forward.
Why Purple Planet exists
Founder Basavaraj Bagalkot spent six years running the India office of a US construction company in Sunnyvale, California. He ran the whole back office: accounting, payroll, vendors, admin and investor relations.
Not a vendor. Their office, in their org chart.
Some of the people we worked alongside there still work with us today.
He is not an accountant. He builds the team and keeps it together. The people on your clients’ books bring around a decade each of US accounting, and they are still there in month nine.
- Pricing
What it costs
A flat monthly fee, set by the level of work and the volume, and agreed in writing before we start. The same people on your firm’s work every month, across as many clients as you allocate them.
No setup fee. Nothing charged outside the agreed scope.

Every entry is reviewed by a senior before it reaches you.
For comparison, a US accountant on an $80,000 salary costs nearer $100,000 fully loaded.
Pick what hurts most: AP or reconciliations. One full cycle, then
you decide.
For books that are current or close to it. Backlog cleanup is priced separately.
