Hire a Filipino accountant for your Australian business.
When you hire a Filipino accountant through Team Up Now, you get a dedicated, fully employed professional working inside your systems — not a freelancer juggling six other clients. Filipino accountants are proficient in Xero and MYOB, work Australian business hours, and cost 50–65% less than an equivalent local hire.
Every placement is made through our employer of record Philippines structure — your accountant is formally employed under Philippine law with full statutory entitlements, not classified as a contractor.
