What Gr8 Llc does

GR8 Global (operating under Gr8 LLC and affiliated entities GR8 Deal Two LLC, GR8 Affinity Services Holdings LLC, GR8 Affinity BPO Inc., and GR8 Affinity Services LLP) is a private offshore talent augmentation and Employer of Record provider. Founded in 2008 as a peer group of U.S. accounting firms and formally established in 2022, the company commercially launched its Global Capabilities Centers (GCC), Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), and US Readiness Program offerings in January 2024. It maintains a global workforce of 450+ professionals across India, the Philippines, and Latin America, delivering integrated dedicated teams to client firms under an EOR model that handles HR compliance, recruiting, payroll, IT hardware, and 24/7 SOC-monitored single-client computing environments.

The company's core technology and infrastructure centers on dedicated single-client computing environments, enforced MFA, centralized endpoint security, configuration and patch management, and continuous SOC monitoring — designed to address data security concerns that typically slow offshore adoption in regulated industries like accounting and healthcare. Its proprietary US Readiness Program provides level-based training on industry-standard software (e.g., CCH) for the U.S. accounting ecosystem, functioning as a structured talent pipeline. Revenue is generated primarily through monthly recurring per-professional billing in advance, supplemented by managed services for GCC operations and professional services under the BOT transfer model, with pricing varying by role, geography, and team size and including a $2,000 refundable per-professional security deposit.

GR8 Global is governed and backed by an affinity of eight Top 100 U.S. accounting firms (AAFCPAS, Perkins & Co., GBQ, Pinion, HoganTaylor, REDW, Lutz, and Schneider Downs), which serve as both anchor clients and strategic owners. The customer base has expanded beyond this founding group to include healthcare, insurance, real estate, transportation/logistics, financial services, hospitality, and technology/SaaS firms, with primary use cases in tax preparation and review, audit and assurance, bookkeeping, billing, payroll, IT support, and cybersecurity. Distribution is entirely direct consultative enterprise sales with no channel partner or reseller model.
