Operational Enablement
Scale your Australian or global operations with a dedicated offshore team in the Philippines through our trusted partner, Brave Sheep.
Entering or scaling in new markets requires operational discipline. Many international businesses struggle to balance growth ambitions with the realities of cost pressure, talent shortages, and limited internal capacity.
An offshore operations hub provides a strategic and practical solution. It allows you to build a professional support team located close to Australia that can serve both your local operations and your broader global business.
Through Brave Sheep, we connect you with dedicated professionals who work exclusively for your organisation, trained in your systems and aligned to your culture. This model gives you the capacity and flexibility to grow without the burden of high overheads or local labour constraints.
Individual Specialists
We recruit and place highly skilled individuals to support specific roles within your business. This gives you targeted capability without the cost, risk, or complexity of hiring locally.
Functional Pods
A pod is a fully managed micro-department you can rent to run an entire business function without adding headcount. Each pod is a small, specialised team designed to deliver a defined outcome, such as sales generation, customer service, operational efficiency, finance management, or compliance support.
Examples of Pods
Sales Pod – Runs outbound, qualifies leads, and books meetings to drive pipeline.
Ops Pod – Fixes workflows, builds systems, and implements automation to reduce bottlenecks.
Compliance Pod – Manages governance, regulatory obligations, and risk oversight.
Support Pod – Provides customer service, triages tickets, and resolves day-to-day issues.
Ready to get started?
We’ll introduce you to Brave Sheep to explore how a Philippines-based team can help your business overcome cashflow and talent constraints, supporting your Australian and Global expansion with efficiency and confidence.
The Philippines is the leading destination for professional service offshoring in the Asia-Pacific region. Its proximity to Australia, cultural alignment, and highly skilled workforce make it ideal for companies looking to scale regional or global operations with confidence.
Key advantages include:
Regional proximity: Only two hours behind AEST, enabling same-day collaboration and live communication.
Access to talent: A deep and skilled labour pool across accounting, finance, administration, HR, and customer support functions.
Cultural and linguistic alignment: English fluency and Western work practices make integration smooth and natural.
Cost and margin relief: Save 40–70% compared to local employment costs while maintaining quality and control.
Whether your objective is to support your Australian subsidiary or to strengthen your global back-office, a Philippines-based operations hub gives you the scale and efficiency to grow sustainably.
Step 1: Introduction and alignment
ABN Australia connects you directly with Brave Sheep and helps outline your objectives, whether that involves supporting your Australian operations or creating a broader global service centre.
Step 2: Team design and recruitment
Brave Sheep recruits, vets, and onboards your dedicated staff in the Philippines. Each team member works exclusively for your business and is trained in your systems, tools, and processes.
Step 3: Integration and scale
You retain full control of your team and output, while Brave Sheep manages HR, payroll, compliance, and local infrastructure to keep operations running smoothly.
