Common questions

Which overseas roles work best for professional services?

The four that consistently earn their cost: executive assistant, bookkeeper, virtual assistant. Billable hours get eaten by scheduling, invoicing and chasing — the work that has to happen but can't be charged for.

What does it cost?

Monthly salaries run roughly $600–$1,500 depending on the role and country, paid directly by you with no markup from us. Placement is a flat fee from $1,995 per search rather than the 25–35% of first-year salary that's standard in this market.

Do you know this industry, or is this generic?

We publish the specific tools, tasks and failure modes for each industry rather than a find-and-replace of a generic page — for professional services that means QuickBooks or Xero, Practice-management software, Google Workspace, DocuSign. If something here doesn't match how your business actually runs, tell us and we'll say so plainly rather than sell you a role that won't fit.
