How the model works
Where these numbers come from
The calculator uses published compensation benchmarks for accounting roles in your market, adds benefits loading, and compares that fully loaded cost against Emapta’s dedicated staffing model. Your results show $0 in annual savings across 0 dedicated staffing roles at a 70% cost reduction.
A Top-50 regional firm moved 18 accounting professionals to Emapta and saw a 65% cost reduction with zero client attrition. A mid-size CPA firm replaced 9 domestic staff accountants with dedicated Emapta professionals and recaptured 3,200 billable hours in Year 1. A specialty tax practice expanded capacity by 40% without adding partners and maintained realization rates above 85%.

Clients interact with your firm as always. The dedicated team sits behind your brand.
What a typical rollout looks like
Most teams are live within approximately 45 days. The standard approach starts with the highest-volume, lowest-risk work and expands as your partners build confidence in the model.
Partners keep oversight and client relationships. Emapta handles HR, facilities, and retention. 400+ active Finance & Accounting client teams operate under this model today.
What if the ramp takes longer than planned?
Even under a conservative scenario where the team takes 6 months instead of 3 to reach full productivity, ROI remains positive within Year 1. At a 70% cost reduction, a slower ramp simply shifts breakeven from Month 2 to Month 4. After that, every month is margin recovered.
The approach is phased, not all-or-nothing. It starts with production work (bookkeeping, data entry, AP/AR), proves out across one engagement cycle, then expands. If it does not work, there is no long-term commitment, no penalty, and no lock-in. You are never committed beyond what your partners approve.
Conservative scenario assumes 50% of projected savings during months 1-6. Full savings realized from month 7 forward.
