Offshore Finance & Accounting Support for New Zealand Businesses
We support New Zealand accounting firms, bookkeeping practices, and businesses with dedicated Philippines-based finance teams — IRD-trained, Xero and WorkflowMax certified, working NZST hours. From GST returns and Payday filing to KiwiSaver compliance and year-end workpapers, your team operates as a seamless extension of your New Zealand practice.
Choose How You Work With Us
New Zealand clients engage with OFP through three delivery models, each structured around your firm's preferred level of involvement and oversight:
Client-Managed Support
Offshore professionals execute work under your direction.
Shared Responsibility
Senior professionals work independently and reduce day-to-day management effort.
Senior-Led Managed Finance
A senior finance lead takes ownership of delivery, coordination, and outcomes.
Why New Zealand Clients Work With OFP
New Zealand organisations choose OFP for structured offshore delivery, long-term continuity, and clearly defined responsibility — not simply for cost arbitrage. Our teams align with NZ business hours and reporting standards while OFP manages employment, retention, and operational oversight.
Delivery Highlights
- • Dedicated pods with senior accountant oversight
- • Weekly KPI dashboards covering turnaround, accuracy, and utilisation
- • Secure VPN access, MFA, and local-device controls

Frequently Asked Questions on Outsourcing to the Philippines

A.You work with a dedicated individual or team assigned specifically to your engagement. Staff continuity is a core part of how we operate — your person learns your systems, your processes, and your preferences over time.
