COVID19 Update from Our CEO: In 2013 I saved my small business during a crisis with outsourcing.
We got high quality, affordable work done across marketing, sales, bookkeeping, operations, administrative work and more.
It changed my life and redefined how I scale a business. I realized most small/medium business owners didn’t know this world existed. And I saw a lot of gaps on how to make it more accessible.
Fast forward 7 years and I’ve spoken globally to thousands of entrepreneurs on the subject and launched Outsource Access to help support, grow and even save businesses.
I created this company to be a fully managed outsourcing and virtual services firm from the Philippines where English is their second language.
Most people don’t know that the US controlled the Philippines until 1947 so they have a completely Americanized culture. With nearly 100 staff we offer high-quality and affordable sales, marketing, operations, bookkeeping and other key support functions for small business and entrepreneurs.
And we treat and pay our people incredibly well. See our Culture Page
