Bookkeeping services are one of the potential growth areas in the field of outsourcing.

There is lot of promise in this field as the costs of these services are high in the Western countries and India offers a cost-effective and reliable destination for outsourcing of bookkeeping services.

This can be categorized under the high end services that Indian companies are trying to capture.
