We started BiQ Global because US hotel owners and dentists deserve an offshore partner that knows their industry, communicates clearly and protects their data.
Small and mid-sized US businesses find it hard to hire and keep good accounting and billing staff. Salaries keep rising, people leave, and each departure means lost knowledge and late books.
Our India-based team fills that gap with trained professionals who specialize in hospitality accounting and dental back-office work, at a price that works for independent owners, not just large chains.
Because we work while the US sleeps, your reconciliations, reports and claims are ready when your day begins.
A second reviewer checks all work before it reaches you.
Every deliverable has a fixed deadline that we track.
Fluent English and availability during US hours.
Your data is handled under NDA from day one.
NDA with every client, confidentiality agreements with every employee, and a BAA for any client sharing patient data.
Individual accounts, multi-factor login, limited roles and same-day removal of access.
Company-managed, encrypted devices with antivirus, USB storage blocked and automatic screen lock.
Encrypted connections and secure remote desktops. No client data on personal devices.
Background checks when hiring and regular privacy and HIPAA training.
When an engagement ends, all access is removed and working files are returned or destroyed.

Practical, plain-English guides on outsourcing accounting, tax compliance and dental billing: what it costs, what to ask, and how to switch without disruption.
In-house vs freelancer vs outsourced firm, the eight things to check before you sign, and a four-week transition plan.
September 2026 · 12 min readSigns you need help, what to outsource and what to keep, how billing companies charge, and the questions to ask first.
September 2026 · 11 min readMost independent and franchise hotels depend on one or two people for all of their accounting. When that person is out sick, on leave or quits, deposits go unmatched, vendor bills pile up and lodging tax deadlines get tight.
Hiring a replacement is slow and expensive. In the US, the typical bookkeeper earns about $50,670 a year before benefits, and employers need to fill roughly 144,100 openings every year simply because people retire or change careers.

Outsourcing replaces a single point of failure with a trained team, documented procedures and a reviewer who checks the work.
Generic bookkeepers often stop at data entry and bank reconciliations. A hospitality partner should cover the full cycle:
Here is how the three common options compare for a hotel with one to ten properties.
| In-house bookkeeper | Freelancer | Outsourced specialist firm | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Salary plus benefits, payroll tax, software and training | Low hourly rate | Fixed monthly fee, usually well below a full US hire |
| Coverage | One person; gaps during leave | Limited hours | Team with backup, overnight turnaround |
| Hospitality know-how | Varies by hire | Usually generalist | USALI, PMS and lodging tax experience |
| Quality control | Self-reviewed | Self-reviewed | Second-person review built in |
| Security | On-site, your policies | Personal devices common | NDA, MFA, managed devices, no local copies |
| Scaling to more properties | Hire again | Hard to scale | Add capacity in weeks |
It can be as safe as in-house when the provider uses NDAs, individual logins with multi-factor authentication, managed devices and works only inside your systems. Ask for their written security practices.
Most firms quote a fixed monthly fee based on the number of properties, rooms and transaction volume. Ask for a written quote after a free assessment so you can compare it with your current costs.
Yes. Your bookkeeping team keeps the books and prepares sales and lodging tax returns and year-end packages. Your CPA handles income-tax returns and any audit or review work.
A hospitality-focused provider should already prepare royalty and brand reports and follow USALI, which most brands require.
About four weeks for most one- to five-property groups, longer if the books need a catch-up first.
If your books close late, lodging tax deadlines feel tight, or everything depends on one person, outsourcing gives you a trained team, a review process and a predictable monthly cost. Start with a free assessment and compare the quote with what you spend today.
We review your current process and send a fixed monthly quote within two business days.
Our team works in QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, M3 and major PMS platforms every day, delivers USALI financials on a fixed schedule, and has every close checked by a reviewer before it reaches you.
See hospitality services| Task | Outsource | Keep in-house |
|---|---|---|
| Eligibility and benefits verification | Yes, done 48–72 hours ahead | Same-day walk-ins |
| Claims submission and attachments | Yes | Clinical notes stay with providers |
| AR follow-up and appeals | Yes | |
| ERA and EOB posting | Yes | |
| Credentialing | Yes | Provider signatures |
| Treatment presentation and financial consults | Yes, face to face | |
| Collecting co-pays at checkout | Yes |
| In-house biller | US billing company | Dedicated offshore team | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical pricing | Salary plus benefits | Percentage of collections | Flat monthly fee or per team member |
| Coverage | One person | Shared pool | Named team plus reviewer |
| Works in your software | Yes | Sometimes their own system | Yes |
| Verification before visits | If time allows | Often extra cost | Included, done overnight |
| Scaling to new locations | Hire again | Fee grows with collections | Add capacity in weeks |
You will usually see one of three pricing models:
HIPAA allows covered entities to use business associates, including those outside the US, when a BAA is in place and appropriate safeguards protect patient data. Review the provider's safeguards and discuss any concerns with your compliance advisor.
Usually not. The team works inside your software and your office stays the patient's point of contact.
Often, yes, if they are still within the payer's filing or appeal window. A backlog review shows which claims are still recoverable.
Verification and faster claim submission help within the first month. AR improvements usually show over two to three months.
Outsourcing the insurance back office lets your team focus on patients while specialists keep claims moving. Start by reviewing your current AR and denial reasons, then choose a partner who works in your software, signs a BAA and reports results every month.
Share your AR aging summary, with no patient details, and we'll show you where the money is stuck.
We verify insurance overnight, send claims the next day, follow up on every open claim and report your KPIs each month, all inside your practice software and under a signed BAA.
