Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from our clients about how we operate.
Led by operators.
Team Up Now is built on experience, structure and care — not shortcuts.
Finance & strategy operator · Co-founder
Julius Schoenfeld
With a background in finance and business strategy, Julius understands the operational mechanics of profitable companies — what breaks under pressure and what holds.
He specialises in structuring and scaling offshore staffing for Australian businesses: placing the right people into the right systems, then getting out of the way so founders can lead.
His approach is rooted in the belief that ethical, structured outsourcing is a requirement for modern business stability — not just a cost play.
BPO leader · People advocate · Co-founder
Eiza Fiel Tampus
Eiza's early career in healthcare gave her a rigorous foundation in compliance and care — an approach she carried directly into BPO leadership.
Her focus is on the people: she ensures professionals are properly supported, trained, and integrated into client operations as genuine, long-term team members — not contractors.
She is the operational backbone of Team Up Now and the reason the team in the Philippines is stable, motivated, and retained year after year.

Industries we serve.
Outsourcing across Australia.
We work with businesses in every major Australian city.
Ready to scale without the risk?
Our roster of professionals is strictly capped to ensure quality. Whether you need an offshore team for agencies, finance or admin, let's discuss your operational needs.
Two Fair Work Commission rulings and criminal wage theft laws mean the risk isn't just operational — Australian businesses engaging offshore workers without an EOR now face serious legal exposure.
