Scale your firm
with a dedicated offshore team.

Pre-vetted Malaysian and ASEAN accountants, placed from Kuala Lumpur — fully dedicated, timezone-aligned and up to 60% more cost-effective than a local hire.

FOR FIRMS

Whether you're a global audit firm adding busy-season capacity, a local practice scaling without local hiring strain, or a growing business that needs a finance professional without the overhead — we build a dedicated offshore team around the way you already work. We only introduce candidates who meet 80%+ of your brief, so you review a focused shortlist — not a pile of maybes.

Why firms partner with us

Regional talent reach

Access top-tier accounting professionals from Kuala Lumpur and the wider ASEAN network — qualified, English-proficient and ready to slot into your team.

Cost savings up to 60%

Reduce staffing cost by up to 60% versus a local hire, with no compromise on quality or oversight.

Find talent fast

Qualified, pre-vetted candidates in about four weeks — not the months a local search can take.

Fully dedicated

Your team member works exclusively for your firm, full-time (40 hrs/week) — not shared across a pool of clients.

Compliance & security

PDPA-aligned controls, signed NDAs and managed, secured devices keep your clients' data protected at every step.

Timezone alignment

GMT+8 means real-time overlap with APAC, a morning overlap with the UK and EU, and follow-the-sun overnight turnaround for North America.

Why firms trust us

Our hiring standards

A multi-step vetting process — technical assessment, ethics and critical-thinking, communication and team fit — so only a small fraction of applicants reach your shortlist.

Data security & PDPA

Confidentiality is built in: NDAs, PDPA 2010-aligned controls, role-based access and managed, secured devices for every placement.

Seamless communication

Neutral, client-ready English and an overlap-friendly schedule keep your dedicated team member responsive throughout your working day.

Training & onboarding

We align each placement to your tools, processes and standards before day one — and keep their cloud and AI tooling sharp throughout.

Great team fit

We match for working style and culture, not just credentials, so your new team member feels like one of your own from the start.

Long-term reliability

Dedicated success support, regular performance reviews and replacement cover protect continuity and keep retention high.

How we vet — transparent & scored

Hiring is noisy. We cut the noise and raise the signal — and we don't hide the assessment. You see exactly what we see.

.01
Knockout questions

We agree your must-haves up front, then screen hard against them — clear, early signal on who qualifies and who doesn't.

.02
Scored skills assessment

A role-specific test — reconciliations, MFRS/IFRS, tax or audit — scored on a consistent scale so you can compare candidates objectively.

.03
Recorded scenario interview

A senior reviewer runs a live or async interview. You get the recording — and see where each candidate is strong and where they're not.

.04
References & integrity checks

Background, ethics and communication checks before anyone reaches your shortlist.

Hire with confidence

Satisfaction guarantee

If a placement isn't performing, you're not stuck — we make it right rather than leave you paying for a poor fit.

Replaced within a week

If someone isn't right, our success team sources a replacement the same week — no months-long capacity gap.

Proactive performance management

We monitor performance and step in early — putting any under-performer on a plan and lining up cover before you have to ask.

A confidence period, not a lock-in

If it isn't working in the first two months, you can step away — no long-term commitment until you're sure of the fit.
