Why Australian businesses trust Offshored with their offshore team
Offshored was built by two Australian business owners who used offshore staff in their own companies first, then built the firm they wished they had. Since 2023 we have recruited over 50 team members, employed by our Philippine entity Australian Pathways OPC, for 18+ Australian businesses from our own office in BGC, Manila. Australian-owned, Manila-operated, rated 5.0 on Google.
Our story
Built from experience, not theory
Offshored is a privately held, Australian-owned offshore staffing company. We recruit and manage high-performing Filipino professionals, legally employed by our Philippine entity Australian Pathways OPC. They are bookkeepers, drafters, administrators, customer service staff and more, and they work full time for Australian businesses from our office in BGC, Manila.
Before Offshored, co-founders William Smith and Jackson Taylor ran their own Australian businesses, including scaling ventures ranked among Australia’s fastest-growing companies, and integrated remote Filipino talent into their own operations first. That experience became the blueprint: a dual-location model with strategic leadership in Sydney, and delivery run by our Filipino operations team with local HR and management expertise.
Three years on, over 50 team members support 18+ Australian businesses across construction, trades, property, architecture, bookkeeping and professional practices. Every one of them is employed properly, trained continuously and proud of where they work.

Founders and leadership
The people you’ll actually deal with
Offshored was founded in Sydney in 2023 by William Smith and Jackson Taylor, two Australian business owners who had already run offshore teams inside their own companies. Both are still hands-on: William works with every Australian client, and Andrew Morcombe, our Account Manager in Manila, looks after every client team day to day.

Why the Philippines
Why does Offshored run its offshore staffing from the Philippines?
Offshored runs its offshore staffing from the Philippines for three reasons: an English speaking, university educated workforce, a time zone two hours behind Sydney on standard time, and a salary market that puts Offshored's fees a median of 67 percent below Seek's advertised Sydney salary plus 12 percent superannuation across fourteen roles, range 59 to 76 percent (Offshored cost benchmark, September 2026).
English is an official language of the Philippines and the language of university education and business there, so a bookkeeper, drafter or support officer joins your Microsoft Teams calls and writes to your customers without a language layer in between. Manila is UTC+8 and Sydney is UTC+10 on standard time, so an 8:30am Sydney start is a 6:30am Manila start and the whole working day overlaps.
The third reason is the employment framework. Every Offshored team member is employed in the Philippines by Australian Pathways OPC (Company Registration 2023010082245-00) under the Labor Code administered by the Department of Labor and Employment, with SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG contributions, 13th month pay and HMO cover after probation inside the one monthly fee from A$1,900 (Offshored pricing page, October 2026). William and Jackson used Filipino team members in their own companies before Offshored existed, which is why the model is one named person per role rather than a shared pool. Read how the model works, step by step.
