About Us

TalentUp is an Australian-owned talent development solution purpose-built for accounting firms. Founded and operated by Chartered Accountants, we understand firsthand the operational strain caused by staff shortages, high turnover, and the inefficiencies of training graduate team members who leave before adding value.

In response to these challenges, we created TalentUp—a dedicated talent pipeline supplying pre-trained offshore staff who are technically sound, practically experienced, and ready to support your firm from day one.

We work exclusively with Australian accounting firms and have carefully shaped every part of our model to meet local expectations—whether that’s compliance standards, communication style, or software capability for boutique and mid-sized practices.

TalentUp exists to restore staffing stability to your firm, without compromising on quality, professionalism, or control

Now we’re helping other accounting firms do the same.

The TalentUp Model

We don’t send you resumes and hope for the best.

Every applicant sits a structured technical exam

Only the best-performing candidates are chosen

Those selected are then trained inside real Australian firms, working on real files with real systems

What they know

Prepare income tax returns and BAS

Use Xero, MYOB, FYI, and Microsoft Suites

Reference workpapers to Chartered

Accountant standards

Communicate clearly and respectfully

Work with the ATO and ASIC portals

Who we are

TalentUp was created by the directors of a Melbourne-based Chartered accounting firm who:

Built a high-performing offshore team in Vietnam

Reduced local churn and training waste

Increased margins and client capacity

Systemised their processes for scale — and now offer it to others

We know exactly what you need in a remote accountant — because we’ve done it ourselves.

Our mission

To empower accounting firms with job-ready offshore talent that integrates seamlessly, delivers consistently, and stays long-term.

We’re here to shift the industry from low-value outsourcing to high-trust offshoring — one firm at a time.

How We’re Different

At TalentUp, we don’t just offshore people — we offshore performance.

Every accountant we place is selected, tested, and trained before they ever join your team. We’re not a resume farm. We’re a precision engine made by Accountants, for Accountants.

We Select the Best — Then Make Them Better

By the time they’re placed, they already understand your expectations.

Cultural Fit, Not Just a Warm Body

Offshoring fails when there’s a mismatch in mindset. We screen heavily for attitude, language fluency, initiative, and loyalty. The goal is to place someone who feels like part of your team — not just a name on a timesheet.

Quality-Controlled from Day One

Only those who meet our internal standards (and your expectations) move forward.

Tools You Already Use

We align with your tech stack to eliminate onboarding drag and workflow friction.

Free Replacements if It’s Not Right

We stand by our people — but we also stand by your business. If a candidate doesn’t meet your expectations during the early stage, we offer free replacements, no fuss.

Trained Inside Real Australian Accounting Firms

We don’t rely on theory. Our candidates are immersed in Australian accounting workflows — Xero, MYOB, FYI, ATO portals, ASIC portals, BAS, workpapers, admin systems — all under direct supervision from qualified professionals.

By the time they reach your firm, they’re already thinking like your staff.

Built by Accountants Who Get It

TalentUp was founded by real Australian accountants who got sick of wasting time training juniors who leave. We built a smarter solution — and now we’re sharing it with firms just like yours.

Why Vietnam

Vietnam isn’t a budget play — it’s the future of sustainable, high-performance offshoring.

A Highly Educated Workforce

Vietnam produces over 30,000 accounting graduates every year from globally recognised universities. Many of them are:

You’re not hiring help — you’re unlocking untapped potential.

Cultural Compatibility & Time Zone Alignment

Vietnam shares strong business ties with Australia. That means:
Communication is easier. Expectations are clearer. Delivery is smoother.

Unmatched Work Ethic

It’s no secret: Vietnamese professionals consistently outperform in attitude, loyalty, and discipline.

They work hard, take pride in precision, and value their role in your success. Compared to many outsourcing regions, their commitment and consistency is on another level.

When we say “high-performance team,” this is what we mean.

We’re On the Ground

We don’t just hire from Vietnam — we operate there.

TalentUp’s leadership is embedded across both sides, providing direct training, mentorship, and oversight. That’s how we ensure your offshore team feels like a true extension of your firm — not a disconnected third party.

Viet Nam

English Proficiency That Matters

Our team members are screened for real communication, not just textbook grammar.

They can email clients, collaborate with your staff, and follow nuanced instructions — not just tick boxes on a checklist.

Loyalty That Sticks

While many firms struggle with constant staff turnover, we’ve found the opposite in Vietnam.
TalentUp’s offshore team members stay for the long haul — and grow with you.

A New Wave of Professionals

Vietnam is home to a rising generation of globally minded, tech-savvy talent — professionals who are hungry for meaningful careers, not transactional gigs.

We’re not drawing from tired outsourcing pools.

We’re curating a new standard — grounded in purpose, performance, and pride.
