Accounting outsourcing in the Philippines gives practices and finance teams dedicated bookkeepers and accountants who work in Xero, QuickBooks or MYOB on your deadlines, for a fraction of local hiring effort.

Most hold an accounting degree, and many are Philippine CPAs. What matters more for your work is prior exposure to Australian, US or UK clients and to your software, so we screen for that specifically and test candidates on a sample file before we put them forward.
ProVizion provides accounting outsourcing teams in the Philippines to public practice firms and in-house finance departments that need qualified bookkeepers and accountants working inside their own ledgers, under their own review process. The Philippines has a deep pool of CPA-qualified and degree-qualified accountants who have spent their careers on Australian, US and UK client work, and we have drawn on that pool since 2011 for clients including Symmetry Financial Group, Quility and Acrisure.
Firms use us to add capacity at the preparation level so that their senior staff spend more time reviewing and advising. Finance teams use us to run the transactional work that never stops: coding, reconciling, chasing, paying and closing. In both cases the work is done in your Xero, QuickBooks Online, MYOB or NetSuite file, your workpapers stay in your environment, and your reviewer signs off before anything leaves the building.
The foundation of most engagements is day-to-day bookkeeping done properly. Our staff code bank feeds, match receipts through Dext or Hubdoc, raise and send invoices, apply customer payments, and run the supplier payment cycle through Bill.com, ApprovalMax or your bank's batch payment file. Debtor follow-up is done on a schedule you set, with statements and reminder emails sent in your firm's or your company's name.
"Their work was top notch across all boards. Great value and great delivery. This will definitely be a long term relationship with their team."
Public practice has a rhythm that local hiring struggles to match. Australian firms hit their peak through the tax return season from July into the new year, with quarterly BAS lodgements layered on top. US firms live through January to April and again in the September and October extension deadlines. UK firms carry the self-assessment crunch into January and corporation tax deadlines all year.
A team in Manila lets you build capacity for those peaks without the recruitment scramble. Preparers can draft individual and entity returns, compile financial statements, prepare BAS and VAT working papers and tie out sales tax filings, all in your practice software, whether that is Xero Practice Manager, CCH, Karbon, TaxCalc or Lacerte. Many of our accountants have carried Australian and US client portfolios for years. For the pure data capture end of the work, our data entry outsourcing teams can take receipt processing and ledger clean-ups.
Payroll is a good candidate for offshore support because it runs on a fixed cycle with clear rules. Our staff process timesheets, calculate leave and overtime, run pay events in Xero Payroll, KeyPay, Gusto, ADP or MYOB, and prepare superannuation, Single Touch Payroll, PAYG and workers compensation reporting for review. In the US that extends to 941 and state withholding reconciliations; in the UK to RTI submissions and pension auto-enrolment records.
The client's payroll manager or the firm's supervising accountant approves every pay run. We prepare, reconcile and flag anomalies; we do not release funds or lodge without sign-off.
"Very professional group, highly recommend their services!"
Finance teams that outsource to us usually want the close to happen faster and with fewer surprises. A dedicated accountant in Manila can run the month-end checklist: accrual and prepayment journals, depreciation, revenue recognition schedules, balance sheet reconciliations with supporting schedules, and a draft management pack with commentary on variances against budget. The pack is ready in your reporting tool, whether Fathom, Spotlight, Syft or a spreadsheet model, when your controller starts the day.
We build review into the structure rather than treating it as an afterthought. Work is prepared at one level and reviewed at another, either by a ProVizion senior accountant acting as a team leader or by your own manager, depending on the model you choose. Reviewer notes are logged against the workpaper so that recurring errors are trained out rather than repeated. The broader operations side of a finance function, from purchase order administration to expense claims, sits with our back office outsourcing teams.
Our staff sign confidentiality agreements that reference your engagement terms, they pass background checks before they are allocated to your team, and their access is scoped to the client files they work on. Activity in your systems is logged. No client documents are held on personal devices or outside your environment, and remote desktop or cloud practice tools are the norm.
Where a firm serves regulated clients, we can structure the engagement to meet GDPR obligations for UK and European data, and to align with the privacy expectations set by professional bodies such as CPA Australia, CA ANZ, the AICPA and ICAEW. Firms that specialise in wealth management, broking or lending clients may also find our financial services outsourcing page useful.
A small firm usually starts with one bookkeeper across several client files and grows into a preparer and reviewer pair. A mid-sized firm might build a pod of four to six preparers under a Manila senior who reports to a partner. An in-house finance team commonly adds an AP specialist and an AR specialist first, then a management accountant for the close. Our offshore admin staff can fill the surrounding roles, such as engagement letter administration, ATO or IRS correspondence tracking and client onboarding, so that your accountants are not doing them.

They prepare the working papers, reconcile GST, VAT or sales tax accounts to the ledger, and draft the return in your practice or compliance software. Lodgement remains with your registered agent or your in-house signatory. We do not lodge on a client's behalf.
You decide. Some firms have every workpaper reviewed by their own senior; others have a ProVizion senior accountant review first and the partner sign off afterwards. Either way, a second set of eyes is built into the process and review notes are tracked.
Staff sign confidentiality agreements, pass background checks and work only inside your systems with role-based access that is logged. Data never leaves your environment. We can structure engagements to meet GDPR and the privacy expectations of professional accounting bodies.
Yes. Many firms hold a core team year-round and add preparers ahead of their peak filing months. We typically need a few weeks of notice to recruit and train seasonal additions, and contract terms are set to reflect the pattern.
