A small firm that acts like a family, not a call centre.

Most offshore firms treat their people like interchangeable seats. We're small enough to know your name, big enough to send you to Sydney.

/ 01

Work with one client. Grow with them for years.

No shuffling between accounts. You're embedded with your Australian team from day one — part of their weekly stand-ups, their Slack, their wins.

/ 02

HMO that covers the people you love.

Full health coverage from day one. After long service, we extend it to your dependents — because looking after our team means looking after their families too.

/ 03

Hybrid, in the heart of Makati.

Our Legazpi Village office is a 5-minute walk from Greenbelt. Come in when you want the buzz, work from home when you need to focus.

/ 04

Tenure bonuses that grow every year.

The longer you stay, the more we invest in you. Tenure-based bonuses on top of salary reviews — because the people who build their careers here should share in what we build together.

/ 05

Training that's not a checkbox exercise.

Technical skills, Australian business culture, client communication. We invest in the skills that actually move your career — not just the ones that look good on paper.

/ 06

Friday quiz. Quarterly socials. End-of-year bash.

We take the team bonding seriously because it's the thing that turns coworkers into the friendships that actually last. The vibe is chosen-family, not forced-fun.

3+ yrs

Our average team member has been with us for over three years. In an industry where people change jobs every 18 months, that tells you something.

The part of the job description no one actually writes down.

01

Birthdays, weekly games, and big quarterly events.

We celebrate birthdays in the office, run weekly games to keep things light, mark something every month, and go all out for our quarterly events. If it matters to you, we'll find a reason to gather.

02

Hybrid-first — and when you're in, you're in a great spot.

Home is where life happens, so we run hybrid-first. But our Makati office is in one of the city's best neighbourhoods — surrounded by great cafés, places to eat, and somewhere to unwind after work. The days you do come in, you'll actually want to.

03

The kind of team that shows up for each other.

When someone's parent is in hospital, the group chat organises meals. When someone hits a milestone, the whole office cheers. That's not something you can manufacture.

04

Familiar faces, not just staff.

We're deliberately small, and it shows. Our director is in the Makati office regularly and knows the team. We're familiar, we care, and we treat each other like family — not just colleagues.

05

Growth you can actually see.

People who start as juniors become seniors. Seniors become team leads. When the business grows, the team grows with it — and the ladder is clear.

The process from interview to your first win.

STEP 01

We actually read your CV.

No applicant tracking system eating your application. A real person on our team reads it, looks at what you've done, and decides within a few days whether to bring you in.

STEP 02

A two-way interview.

You ask us as many questions as we ask you. We're matching for culture, skills, and the client fit — which means we want to make sure you'd actually enjoy the role, not just fill it.

STEP 03

Onboarding that doesn't suck.

IT set up before you arrive. A welcome lunch on day one in our Makati office. Introductions to your client team in week one. We're hybrid-first, so you'll find your rhythm between the office and home — with a 30-60-90 plan so you always know what success looks like.

Find great people. Treat them like family. Grow them for the long run — and help our clients do the same.

For our team. We find the right person, then build the role around them. Professional development is supported, careers are built over years, and people are treated as people — not resources, not seats, not headcount.

For our clients. We source the best-fit talent for your business, integrate them properly into your team, and stay alongside you for the long run. The relationships we're proudest of are measured in years, not contracts.

On price. We won't be the cheapest offshoring partner you talk to. We'll be the best value — the kind that compounds when good people stay and keep getting better at your business.

Started in 2015 to support one Australian firm. Grown into a boutique agency for many.

Jo and John started PHC in 2015 to build an offshore bookkeeping team for John's Melbourne firm, Bookkeeping Central. The team worked. Other accountants started asking how we did it — and asking us to do it for them.

Ten years on, PHC is a specialist boutique agency helping Australian small businesses solve their talent and resourcing needs across accounting, admin, operations, customer service and HR. Same Makati office. Same person-first approach. A lot more clients.

The throughline hasn't changed: roles built around people, careers built over years, and both sides — the client and the team member — winning together.

John Cruse
Co-founder · Director

John co-founded PH Consulting in 2015 alongside building Bookkeeping Central, his Melbourne firm serving Australian small businesses. PHC was born out of a simple idea — that an offshore team could be treated the same way you'd treat the team next to you in the office. So he and Jo built one.

A decade on, PHC has grown well beyond its BKC roots to support Australian businesses across accounting, operations, customer service, admin and HR. John still personally meets every new client before they're onboarded.

Joanna Manaois, CPA
Co-founder · Director of Operations

Joanna is the reason PHC actually works. A Certified Public Accountant with a background building offshore teams from the inside, she runs the Makati office day-to-day — hiring, client delivery, the culture, the quiet stuff that makes the loud stuff possible.

When team members talk about a workplace that feels like family, they mean Joanna. When clients talk about their team "just getting it," that's her standard in action. She's the reason our average tenure is over three years, not eighteen months.

So — want to come work with us?

We're always keeping an eye out for sharp, curious, warm people across admin, HR, accounting, and client service. Even if we don't have a role posted that fits, we'd rather meet you now than miss you later.

Things people ask before applying.

What are the working hours? +
Standard hours are 8:30am – 5:30pm Manila time, which lines you up with Sydney and Melbourne mornings and most of the AU workday. Some roles offer flex within that window. No graveyard shifts — we only take on clients whose hours work for our team.
Is it work-from-home, office, or hybrid? +
Hybrid-first. Our Makati office is open every weekday and most of the team spends 2–3 days in office, 2–3 days from home. Home is where life happens — the office is where we connect, collaborate, and celebrate. Fully remote can be negotiated for the right candidate depending on role and client.
What's the hiring process like? +
Application → CV review (we respond within a week either way) → First interview with our team → Skills or role-specific assessment → Client meet-and-greet → Offer. Typically 2–3 weeks start to finish.
Do you offer HMO, leave, and 13th-month pay? +
Yes to all three. HMO from day one (extends to dependents for long-service team members), statutory leave plus additional company leave, 13th-month pay, and tenure bonuses that grow the longer you're with us.
What if I don't see a role posted that fits me? +
Send us your CV anyway. We're constantly signing new clients and the right person always finds work. We keep good applications on file and reach out when something matches.
Where's the office? +
ZETA Building, Salcedo Street, Legazpi Village, Makati City. Five minutes walk to Greenbelt and Salcedo Saturday Market, close to Buendia MRT and all the major bus routes.
