Direct access to a deep pool of skilled offshore talent — experienced operators who already run the supply chains, marketplaces and creative pipelines your business depends on.

Bilingual & on your clock

You manage nothing

We employ, train, equip and supervise the team. One simple monthly invoice — no payroll, no HR, no contracts to chase.

E-commerce · Sydney

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.

Good questions

Frequently asked

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.
