How Offshoring with Compound Assistants Can Help Offset Rising Business Costs

With tariffs, inflation, and operational expenses on the rise, many U.S. businesses are caught between shrinking profit margins or raising prices — and risk losing customers. During uncertain economic times, one strategy that consistently proves valuable is offshoring. At Compound Assistants, we help companies offset rising costs and protect their margins by offshoring essential business functions to the Philippines, a country known for its skilled, English-fluent workforce and favorable labor economics.

💡 Why Offshoring to the Philippines Works

Shifting service-based functions offshore — especially non-core roles like customer outreach, admin work, and lead generation — helps companies minimize exposure to U.S.-based labor costs and tariff-driven financial strain. The Philippines, in particular, is a hub for outsourced talent, with strong government support for BPO operations and a large pool of college-educated professionals ready to deliver.

At Compound Assistants, all of our virtual assistants are:

• College-educated

• Fluent in English

• Trained in sales, cold calling, appointment setting, CRM, and client communication

• Experienced in high-volume lead generation (up to 200+ calls/day)

And best of all — we charge a flat rate of just $9/hour for a full-time VA (40 hours/week, 160 hours/month) — no hidden fees, no long-term commitment.

🌍 Real-World Example: How Offshoring Can Offset Cost Pressures

Let’s say a U.S.-based lending or real estate company faces increasing operational expenses or a slowdown in deal volume due to economic conditions. By partnering with Compound Assistants and offshoring support roles like lead generation, CRM updates, or inbound call handling to the Philippines, that company could save over $30,000+ annually per role when compared to hiring domestically.

In fact, companies that have hired 10+ VAs through Compound Assistants are now saving hundreds of thousands annually — without compromising on performance or communication.

🔄 Stay Lean, Stay Profitable

Rather than cutting team size or raising rates, businesses can offshore non-core functions to remain agile and profitable. This not only offsets economic volatility but also builds long-term scalability. With virtual assistants handling the backend, your team can focus on closing

deals, driving revenue, and growing the business.
