We employ, train, equip and supervise the team. One simple monthly invoice — no payroll, no HR, no contracts to chase.
Brand-new agency, brand-honest reviews. These are paraphrased early feedback from founding-cohort engagements. Named case studies publish Q3 2026.
We'd tried two Filipino agencies before. The difference here is they actually run my Shopify like an Australian ops manager would. Two hires, both still on the team six weeks in.
I was sceptical about "managed" — sounded like markup. But Olivia replaced my freelancer chase with one invoice and 3× the throughput. Now using them for design overflow on every retainer.
Bookkeeping was eating my Saturdays. Started with one part-timer for receipt entry — within a month she was running Xero reconciliations end-to-end. Hiring locally would've cost 3× and taken 8 weeks.

From first call to a working team member in about two weeks.
A short call to understand the work, the skills and the hours you need. No commitment, no fee.
We recruit, vet and onboard the right people, set up their systems and tools, and align them to your processes and AEST hours.
Your team works as an extension of your business. We manage performance, HR and payroll. You get one monthly invoice.
We're an Australian-registered company (Celestial Dragons Remote Services Pty Ltd) with deep roots in both markets. We bridge the language, the timezone and the trust gap that usually makes offshoring hard.
You contract with an Australian Pty Ltd, invoiced in AUD, with someone on your side of the world who answers the phone.
We don't just place people and disappear. We supervise the work, handle the awkward HR conversations and guarantee the output.
Confidentiality and IP-assignment agreements as standard, access-controlled systems, and full ownership of everything created for you.
Start with one role, add more as you grow, scale down with 30 days' notice. No long contracts, no recruitment fees.
The things Australian businesses ask us most before getting started.
We do. Your team members are engaged and paid through our overseas entity, and you contract with Celestial Dragons Remote Services Pty Ltd in Australia. You carry no foreign payroll, HR or compliance obligations — it's all on us.
One simple monthly fee per team member, invoiced in AUD. No recruitment fees and no lock-in — it's month to month. Typically 40–65% lower than the loaded cost of an equivalent local hire.
Our teams are only 2–3 hours behind AEST. Your team works your business hours, so you collaborate in real time during your day rather than waiting for overnight handoffs.
Every team member signs confidentiality and IP-assignment agreements, works on access-controlled systems, and all intellectual property created for you belongs to you. We can work within your security tools and policies.
We manage performance and will replace a team member at no extra cost if they're not working out. Because it's month to month, you can also scale down or pause with 30 days' notice.
Most roles go from first call to a working, onboarded team member in about two weeks, depending on how specialised the skills are.
Whether you're an Australian business that wants to hire, or a professional who wants to work with us — start here. We reply within one business day.
