As DeCypher looked to grow, traditional U.S. hiring proved costly and misaligned with their needs. By building a nearshore LATAM team through Vintti, they doubled their firm size while cutting payroll costs by nearly 70%.

DeCypher Financials is a specialized accounting and tax firm focused on the Creator Economy and service-based businesses.
They help clients (mainly influencers and social media creators) with bookkeeping, tax filing and strategy, business structuring, payroll, and financial consulting, all tailored to the unique financial needs of content creators and small entrepreneurs.
Their model emphasizes weekly support, proactive tax planning, and acting as an extension of a creator’s own team rather than a traditional outsourced accountant.
Today, the company works only with one US hire, while the rest of the team works remotely.
“The reason why I decided to go nearshore is because we are in the same time zone and I just know how hard working and intelligent the people are”, said Otavio, founder of DeCypher.
DeCypher had previously worked with other recruitment agencies, but the results consistently fell short of expectations.
While candidates met basic requirements on paper, they often lacked the level of specialization, ownership, and adaptability DeCypher needed to support a fast-moving, creator-focused accounting firm.
Additionally, those agencies did not specialize in accounting roles, which meant they often missed the technical and industry-specific expertise required.
The hiring process felt transactional rather than strategic, making it difficult to build a team that could truly integrate into their operations and scale alongside the business.
They needed a partner that could:
What immediately stood out to DeCypher was how different the experience felt from day one. The process was smooth, transparent, and completely pressure-free. Instead of being pushed to hire quickly, DeCypher worked with a dedicated Talent Advisor who took the time to truly understand their needs. The relationship felt personal, they weren’t treated like just another account in a pipeline.
Compared to previous experiences with generalist agencies, the difference in talent quality was clear. As Otavio from DeCypher put it:
“The level of competence in the candidates that Vintti brought to me was just a lot higher.”
Vintti’s deep focus on accounting and finance roles played a key role in this outcome. Their recruiters understood the technical requirements of the role and the realities of working in an accounting firm, while also prioritizing culture fit. The result was not only stronger candidates on a technical level, but also genuinely great people who could integrate seamlessly into DeCypher’s team.
By working with Vintti’s Recruiting model, DeCypher was able to scale its team quickly and strategically without long-term commitments, hidden fees, or pressure to hire before they were ready. With a one-time recruiting fee per role, Vintti handled the entire hiring process end-to-end: sourcing, screening, technical validation, and culture fit; allowing DeCypher to focus on growth.
Through Vintti, DeCypher successfully hired three senior accounting roles and currently has an open search for a Bookkeeper underway.
The Recruiting model gave DeCypher full control over their team structure while avoiding ongoing markups or hourly fees. Each hire was made as a permanent team member, fully integrated into daily operations and aligned with DeCypher’s culture and workflows.
Hiring senior accountants in the U.S. typically costs around $75,000 per year per role, excluding benefits, payroll taxes, and recruiting costs.
By building their team with nearshore LATAM talent through Vintti, DeCypher achieved a significant reduction in annual payroll costs while maintaining senior-level expertise.
👉 ~$160,000 per year
That’s a nearly 70% reduction in payroll costs, achieved without compromising quality, time zone alignment, or team performance.
For Otavio, the value of working with Vintti goes beyond hiring faster or saving costs. What truly made the difference was partnering with a team that understands accounting, knows what great talent looks like in this industry, and can deliver it quickly, in the same time zone, and without friction.
Vintti enabled DeCypher to build a high-performing team with the right balance of technical expertise, ownership, and cultural fit — while keeping margins healthy and growth sustainable. The nearshore model removed operational bottlenecks, reduced hiring risk, and gave the company the flexibility to scale intentionally.
As Otavio puts it:
“It helps us grow and scale the team a lot faster because of the margins.”
For DeCypher, Vintti became a long-term hiring partner, supporting the firm’s growth with the right people, at the right time, and at the right scale.
You can secure high-quality South American talent in just 20 days and for around $9,000 USD per year.
