What Offshored does

Dedicated offshore staff for US businesses, recruited and managed in Manila

Offshored is an Australian offshore staffing company, founded in 2023, with offices in Sydney and Manila. We recruit, vet and manage full-time team members in the Philippines for businesses in Australia and the United States: bookkeepers, accountants, accounts payable and receivable specialists, virtual assistants, customer service representatives, estimators, drafters, marketing coordinators and AI Operators.

This is not a call center and not a freelance marketplace. Each team member works only for your business, in your software, on your procedures, reporting to you. Offshored handles everything an employer in the Philippines has to handle: payroll, statutory contributions, benefits, HR and performance management. Most team members work from home in the Philippines; some work from the Offshored office in BGC, Manila, depending on the role and your requirements.

Where our clients are: Australia and the United States. Offshored has 18+ clients, 50+ team members and a 5.0 rating on Google from 7 reviews (Google Business Profile, Offshored Pty Ltd, read October 23, 2026).

Roles and monthly fees in USD

The roles US businesses hire through Offshored, by monthly fee band

Every fee below is one all-inclusive monthly amount per full-time team member in US dollars, converted from the published Australian bands on the Offshored pricing page. The Pacific column is 10 percent above the exact Eastern conversion before rounding, because a Los Angeles day runs to 9:00 am in Manila. The exact figure within a band depends on the role and the candidate's experience, and you get it in writing before you interview anyone.

Pricing

From US$1,350 per month, all-inclusive: what the fee covers

Offshored dedicated staff cost from US$1,350 per month for US businesses. That is the only charge: the fee covers the team member's salary and every employer cost in the Philippines, and there is no recruitment fee, no setup fee and no lock-in contract.

ItemOffshored, US clients
What is includedEverything: recruitment and vetting, employment in the Philippines by Australian Pathways OPC, salary, Philippine income tax and statutory contributions (SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG), 13th month pay, paid leave, HMO health insurance after the six month probation, payroll, timekeeping, HR and performance management, office space and equipment for office based team members, and replacement at our cost if the person leaves.
Night shift differentialUS business hours are covered by a night shift in Manila. Philippine law sets a night shift differential of 10 percent of the regular wage for each hour worked between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am (Labor Code of the Philippines, Article 86), and Offshored includes it in the monthly fee, so the USD price shown is the price you pay.
Pacific hoursA team member working US Pacific hours (1:00 am to 9:00 am in Manila in winter) is priced 10 percent above the exact Eastern conversion before rounding; the Pacific column in the roles table above shows every band.
InvoicingOne monthly invoice in US dollars from Offshored Pty Ltd, invoiced in advance; no recruitment, placement or setup fees. No GST and no VAT is charged on the Offshored fee: Offshored Pty Ltd is not registered for GST and the service is delivered in the Philippines by Australian Pathways OPC.
ContractMonth to month, 30 days' notice, no lock-in. If a team member leaves, Offshored replaces them at its own cost.
How the USD figures are setConverted from A$1,900 at the Wise mid-market AUD to USD rate of 0.7017 read on October 23, 2026, rounded up to the next US$50. Eastern time fees are shown; Pacific time fees are 10 percent higher before rounding. The rate is fixed between reviews and is reviewed on the first business day of each quarter (next review Monday, January 4, 2027); a change applies only to new quotes, never to a running contract.
The saving, with sources

What a US business saves against a local hire: three roles, BLS figures

The comparison uses the US Bureau of Labor Statistics national median annual wage for each occupation (Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025, released May 15, 2026) with employer paid benefits added at the private industry share of total compensation in the Employer Costs for Employee Compensation release for June 2026 (released September 9, 2026): wages and salaries 70.0 percent, benefits 30.0 percent, so the loaded cost of the median hire is the wage divided by 0.700. Each wage links to its BLS source. The full ten role comparison, with charts, methodology and a CSV download, is the 2026 US offshore staffing cost benchmark.

RoleUS median wageWith employer benefitsOffshored feeSaving at the midpoint
BookkeeperUS$50,670 a year (BLS OEWS May 2025, occupation 43-3031, national median, released May 15, 2026)US$72,386 a year (median wage divided by 0.700)US$1,500 to US$2,000 per month (US$21,000 a year at the band midpoint of US$1,750)71.0 percent
Virtual assistant or administrative assistantUS$47,540 a year (BLS OEWS May 2025, occupation 43-6014, national median, released May 15, 2026)US$67,914 a year (median wage divided by 0.700)US$1,350 to US$1,700 per month (US$18,300 a year at the band midpoint of US$1,525)73.1 percent
Customer service representativeUS$44,770 a year (BLS OEWS May 2025, occupation 43-4051, national median, released May 15, 2026)US$63,957 a year (median wage divided by 0.700)US$1,350 to US$1,700 per month (US$18,300 a year at the band midpoint of US$1,525)71.4 percent

Method: saving = 1 minus (Offshored monthly fee times 12) divided by (BLS median annual wage divided by 0.700). It leaves out the US employer's recruitment, office, equipment and management costs. The Offshored fee is the Eastern hours band with the Philippine night shift differential already inside it; Pacific hours fees are 10 percent higher before rounding. Figures are national; wages in New York, San Francisco and Boston are higher than the national median and the saving there is larger. BLS figures read October 23, 2026; ECEC release: bls.gov.

Time zones

How the time zones work: your US business hours, covered from Manila

Your team member works a full eight-hour day, Monday to Friday, at the times you set in your US time zone. Manila is UTC+8 all year and does not observe daylight saving, so the gap narrows by one hour while US daylight time runs (March 8 to November 1, 2026; March 14 to November 7, 2027). US business hours are covered by a night shift in Manila. Philippine law sets a night shift differential of 10 percent of the regular wage for each hour worked between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am (Labor Code of the Philippines, Article 86), and Offshored includes it in the monthly fee, so the USD price shown is the price you pay.

Your time zoneManila is ahead byYour 9:00 am to 5:00 pm day in Manila time
Eastern (New York, Miami, Atlanta)13 hours (12 hours in daylight time)10:00 pm to 6:00 am (9:00 pm to 5:00 am in daylight time)
Central (Chicago, Dallas, Houston)14 hours (13 hours in daylight time)11:00 pm to 7:00 am (10:00 pm to 6:00 am in daylight time)
Mountain (Denver, Salt Lake City)15 hours (14 hours in daylight time)12:00 am to 8:00 am (11:00 pm to 7:00 am in daylight time)
Pacific (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle)16 hours (15 hours in daylight time)1:00 am to 9:00 am (12:00 am to 8:00 am in daylight time)

Hours in the table are Manila local time; a 9:00 am Eastern start in winter is 10:00 pm the same calendar day in Manila. Team members work US public holidays unless the day is also a Philippine holiday, and Offshored gives you two business days' notice of any Philippine holiday that affects your team member's schedule. Every shift is logged on our timekeeping platform. Arizona (except the Navajo Nation) and Hawaii do not observe daylight time; ask us for your exact overlap.

Six questions

What US owners ask before hiring offshore staff

Can a US business legally use offshore staff from Offshored?

Yes. You contract with Offshored Pty Ltd, an Australian company (ABN 84 664 866 433), for a dedicated staffing service and receive one monthly invoice. Your team member is employed in the Philippines by Australian Pathways OPC, a registered Philippine company (Company Reg. 2023010082245-00), which runs payroll, statutory contributions, benefits and HR. No US employment relationship arises, and Offshored has no US entity, office or phone number: our offices are in Sydney and Manila, and we work with US clients by video call, email and WhatsApp. Ask your own CPA or attorney how to treat the monthly invoice and any vendor documentation your business requires.

Who employs the team member?

Australian Pathways OPC, a registered Philippine company (Company Reg. 2023010082245-00), employs every team member in the Philippines and runs payroll, statutory contributions (SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG), 13th month pay, paid leave, HMO health insurance after the six month probation, HR and performance management. Offshored recruits and manages the team member and invoices you. You are not the employer and run no US payroll for the person.

How much does an offshore team member cost per month in US dollars?

From US$1,350 per month for administration and support roles (US$1,350 to US$1,700), US$1,500 to US$2,000 for bookkeepers, accounts payable and receivable specialists and executive assistants, US$1,700 to US$2,400 for accountants, drafters, estimators and designers, and US$2,150 to US$3,400 for financial controllers and developers. The fee is all-inclusive and invoiced monthly in advance in US dollars. Those are the fees for US Eastern hours, converted from the published Australian dollar bands at the Wise mid-market AUD to USD rate of 0.7017 read on October 23, 2026 and rounded up to the next US$50; fees for US Pacific hours are 10 percent higher before rounding, and both columns are on this page.

Do offshore staff work US business hours?

Yes. Your team member works a full eight-hour day, Monday to Friday, at the times you set in your US time zone. Manila is UTC+8 all year, so a 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Eastern day is 10:00 pm to 6:00 am in Manila in winter and 9:00 pm to 5:00 am in US daylight time. US business hours are covered by a night shift in Manila. Philippine law sets a night shift differential of 10 percent of the regular wage for each hour worked between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am (Labor Code of the Philippines, Article 86), and Offshored includes it in the monthly fee, so the USD price shown is the price you pay.

How is our data kept secure?

Your team member works inside your own systems with the access you grant, and Offshored holds no client data on its own infrastructure. The employment contract with Australian Pathways OPC includes confidentiality and intellectual property assignment clauses, so the work product belongs to you, and every client system login is removed on the team member's last day. Read how Offshored protects client data.

How quickly can we start?

You receive a shortlist in one to two weeks. Every candidate has a pre-screening interview with Offshored's recruitment team in Manila and an NBI clearance (the Philippine police check) before being presented to you. You interview and choose, and the contract is month to month with 30 days' notice and no lock-in.
