More investments, more admin
Perth’s growing project pipeline creates more work around procurement, documentation, reporting and coordination.
Projects
Support complex project delivery
Resources, energy and METS businesses operate across large project ecosystems, creating substantial work around procurement, documentation, reporting, scheduling and administration.
Coordination
Connect the work around specialist teams
As projects involve more contractors, suppliers, data and moving parts, dedicated support can handle the coordination and information flow that keeps specialist teams moving.
Specialist
Keep technical teams focused
Engineers, project managers, technical specialists and other high-value professionals can stay focused on technical and commercial responsibilities while recurring operational work is handled by dedicated offshore professionals.
Scale
Extend teams as project demand grows
When project pipelines expand or multiple operations need support at once, businesses can add dedicated professionals across project support, procurement, finance, data and administration without creating every supporting role locally.
Doubled revenue, faster response
Documented Perth examples show businesses using offshore professionals to support accounting, engineering, IT, administration and technical work as local teams grow and workloads increase.
Accounting & Advisory
2×
advisory revenue over three years

Philippines-based team

Case study: Accounting & advisory
How offshore support doubled revenue

Start your first offshore hire in a few steps
You don't need to build an offshore team all at once. Start with one workload that is putting pressure on your Perth team, then build from there.
-
Step 1: Find the work that needs support
Look for recurring work creating backlogs, slowing specialists down or taking time away from higher-value responsibilities.
-
Step 2: Define what should stay local
Separate recurring, systemised work from responsibilities requiring local judgement, professional accountability, specialist expertise or on-the-ground involvement.
-
Step 3: Start with one role
Begin with a Bookkeeper, Accounts Officer, Project Coordinator, Document Controller, Administrative Assistant or another role that solves a clearly defined workload problem.

How much does offshore staffing cost for a Perth business?
The cost depends on the role, experience, skills, working hours and team structure. The most useful comparison is the total cost of hiring and operating the role locally versus building a dedicated offshore team.
What roles can Perth businesses offshore?
Perth businesses can build dedicated offshore teams across resources and energy support, engineering and technical services, accounting and professional services, construction and property, technology, healthcare, education, manufacturing, logistics, administration and customer support.
Can Perth engineering, mining and resources businesses use offshore staffing?
Yes. Offshore professionals can support defined functions such as drafting, documentation, project administration, data processing, finance, procurement support and coordination, while specialist engineering, technical and client-facing responsibilities remain with the Perth team.
Can offshore staff work Perth business hours?
Yes. Philippines-based professionals can align their working hours with your Perth team, allowing live collaboration, meetings, project handovers and day-to-day communication.
Will my offshore professional work exclusively for my business?
Yes. Offshore 24/7's dedicated staffing model is designed for professionals who work exclusively for your business and integrate into your systems, processes and workflows.
How does Offshore 24/7 find the right people?

Can I start with just one offshore employee?
Yes. You can start with a single role or defined workload and expand your offshore team as your business requirements change.
What types of work should Perth businesses keep local?
Core leadership, sensitive decision-making, key client relationships, regulated responsibilities and specialist work requiring a local presence may be better retained in Perth. Offshore staffing is generally most suitable for defined work that can be performed effectively remotely.
How do Perth businesses handle sensitive information with an offshore team?
Businesses should establish appropriate access controls, data-handling procedures and security measures around any offshore function handling sensitive information. The specific requirements depend on the type of information, systems and responsibilities involved.
How quickly can I build an offshore team?
The timeline depends on the roles, experience requirements and number of professionals needed. Offshore 24/7 manages sourcing and shortlisting, while you retain the final choice of who joins your team.
What is the difference between offshore staffing and outsourcing?
With dedicated offshore staffing, the professional works exclusively for your business and operates within your systems, processes and workflows. Offshore 24/7 handles the recruitment and employment infrastructure behind the team while you retain day-to-day direction and management.
Can I scale my offshore team as my Perth business grows?
Yes. You can add roles or expand the number of professionals as your workload changes, allowing your offshore capacity to grow alongside your projects, clients and operational requirements.
