Expert Offshore Accounting & Bookkeeping
Hire offshore accountants and bookkeepers in the Philippines with hands-on Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks experience — for cost-effective, scalable finance support.
Why Hire in the Philippines
Local hiring is expensive
Skilled accountants and bookkeepers are among the hardest and most expensive hires. With junior accounting hires often costing $65,000+ per year before super, leave loading, and overheads, building a local team can put serious pressure on margins.
A scalable alternative
Offshore staffing solutions in the Philippines give accounting firms a practical, cost-effective way to grow. Filipino accounting professionals are degree-qualified, technically strong, and experienced with Australian platforms, reporting standards, and compliance workflows.
Talent that understands AU firms
Many offshore accountants and bookkeepers have already supported Australian and global practices, so they understand the pace, accuracy, and deadlines the industry demands.
A fully supported model
Offshore 24/7 delivers solutions for Australian Businesses that need reliable talent without local hiring costs. We place dedicated staff who work within your systems, align with your hours, and integrate into your team.
Start small, then scale
The Philippines is the offshore staffing hub firms rely on to scale efficiently. For businesses that want to begin with a lower-risk first hire, our virtual assistants service is often the starting point before building a full team.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I actually save by hiring an offshore accountant?
Most Australian firms save up to 70% on staffing costs compared to local hires. A junior accountant in Australia can cost $65,000+ per year before super, leave loading, and WorkCover. Offshore accountants in the Philippines cost a fraction of that, with no superannuation, WorkCover, or leave loading obligations on your end.
Are there hidden costs I should be aware of?
No hidden costs, what you see is what you pay. Offshore 24/7 handles the Philippines payroll, HR, and compliance locally. You pay a transparent monthly fee that covers your hire's salary, management, and support. No super, no WorkCover, no leave loading.
Are offshore accountants in the Philippines actually qualified?
Yes. Filipino accounting professionals are degree-qualified, and many hold CPA credentials. They're experienced in Australian accounting platforms including Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, and Handisoft, and many have already worked with Australian and global accounting firms before joining your team.
Which accounting roles can I hire offshore?
A wide range, including general bookkeepers, accounts payable and receivable specialists, payroll officers, tax administrators, SMSF administrators, financial analysts, financial controllers, cost accountants, fixed asset accountants, budget analysts, and audit support specialists.
Will my offshore hire understand Australian Tax compliance requirements?
Yes. Candidates are vetted specifically for familiarity with Australian compliance workflows — GST, BAS, STP, PAYG, and payroll. Many have worked in Australian-focused roles previously and understand the pace, accuracy, and deadlines these workflows demand.
How long does it take to hire and onboard an offshore accountant?
The process typically moves in five steps: a free strategy session, candidate sourcing from the Philippines talent network, your interviews and selection, onboarding and software access setup, and then your hire is working in your practice from week one. Most firms have their offshore accountant in place within a few weeks.
What if I'm not ready to hire a full offshore accountant yet?
Many accounting firms start with a virtual assistant in the Philippines for admin, data entry, and support tasks. This is a lower-risk first step that lets you get comfortable with the offshore model before scaling into bookkeeping or accounting roles.
