Question About Outsourcing My CPA methods

[amateursurgeon]

jstme, I think yuo might have the only way, problem is justifying working on my AM stuff while trying to do my normal job lol.

Forget anything that involves breaching IT security / acceptable use policy. In almost all fin services companies, it's instant dismissal these days.

Especially as most of them are slashing headcount right now, don't give them an excuse.

I used to work in Information Security - if an employee started bringing in an unauthorised laptop or trying to tunnel round existing controls, they would be hauled in front of the boss and asked a LOT of questions. The first assumption would be that you were planning to commit fraud / steal data.

I'd say don't risk it. Just work your ass off when you get home.

How are you marketing you CPA campaigns? Meaning, what methods are you using?

Surely if you have an open port going out from your corporate firewall then you can tunnel out as earlier suggested.

Ports such as 119, 80, 21, 22 are normally open on most corporate firewalls.

If so then run an SSH server on one these ports on a machine outside your work then just set up a encrypted tunnel.

If you outsource it to people that aren't, they won't really know what's going on and are likely to fuck things up...

This is what I do. With some patience you can teach them to do the job. Some of my grunts are even from China, very cheap and willing to work over 10 hours a day without taking any holiday (not even their own Chinese new year).

Of course training them is a hassle but it's a better option than 'trusting' other internet guy to do the job.
