TOA Global is excited to reveal that we have received a Great Place to Work certification in the Philippines!
This further speaks about the strategic value of outsourcing in accounting and helps address the questions practice leaders may have about building an offshore accounting team.
85% of our team members vouched in a December 2024 survey for the quality of our workplace culture. In a typical professional services company with more than 1,000 employees, the average rating is 65%, according to the Great Place to Work team.

A Great Place to Work certification means, among other things, that an organization has taken steps to understand employees’ needs, which “are individualized and always evolving” and which include a sense of wellbeing. TOA Global was certified in the same year that we launched our flexible work arrangement (which allows staff to work from home for two or three days each workweek), as well as our wellbeing and diversity programs.
With the right provider, outsourcing will do more than meet your accounting firm’s talent recruitment needs. The right provider will support your employee value proposition, creating the supportive and high-performance work culture that you want your firm to be known for.
