Ecosystem Enlightenments: TeamUp

TeamUp helps firms hire accounting talent in the Philippines.

Unlike our 'App Aware' articles that focus on specific Apps which may benefit you or your practice, Insightful Accountant's Ecosystem Enlightenment features provide our readers with information about service offerings that may benefit their accounting, bookkeeping, consulting, ProAdvisor, and tax practices.

TeamUp is a recruiting agency, not an outsourcing company. The difference means that you hire, from the recruits you select, people who work for you and only you.

You are hiring a talented individual in the Philippines, not an ‘outsourcing company’ that controls the people you work with. When you select a recruit from TeamUp, that person is no different than if they were working for you in another state, rather than in the Philippines.

With TeamUp, there is no middleman, no ongoing fees, and you own the relationship from the very beginning. This means you have complete control over your team, culture, and workflows, which enables you to retain your talent.

Using TeamUp, most roles for which they recruit are filled within thirty to sixty days. Their goal is to make hiring in the Philippines seamless for firms while creating meaningful opportunities for Filipino professionals.

Let’s look at the process of using TeamUp for recruitment in the Philippines:

  • Discovery Call – A genuine conversation about how hiring in the Philippines works, salary benchmarks, and whether this approach is right for your firm.
  • Proposal & Engagement – A tailored plan to get started once you’re ready.
  • Kickoff Call – Meet your recruiter, refine the role, and align on goals and culture.
  • Job Description & Sourcing – We draft the role and source candidates via job boards, referrals, and our accounting community.
  • Screening & Assessments – Every candidate is vetted through interviews, technical tests, and cultural fit checks.
  • Client Interviews – You meet only carefully shortlisted candidates; we manage the logistics.
  • Offer & Negotiation – We help structure a competitive offer aligned with local standards.
  • Reference & Background Checks – Supervisor checks and police clearances for peace of mind.
  • Onboarding Support – Coordination of tools, systems, and expectations.
    Ongoing Support – Regular check-ins and coaching to ensure long-term success.

Using TeamUp to grow your firm with select recruits from the Philippines means you will:

  • Maintain complete control of team member selection and retention.
  • Build direct relationships with your team in the Philippines.
  • Be able to train and develop your team members in your own way.
  • Not pay any ‘outsourcing fees’.
  • Experience the most cost-effective approach to growing your firm with Filipino professionals.
  • Not be forced to use new team members because an ‘outsourcing provider’ made changes.
