ABOUT UPSOURCE

Offshore Staffing for Global Businesses

UpSource is an Australian-led outsourcing company. We help businesses build reliable offshore teams in the Philippines.

Founded in 2023 by CEO Zelko Maric, UpSource was created to solve a common problem many business owners face: finding an outsourcing partner that is reliable, transparent, and aligned with real business needs.

Today, we connect AU, UK and US companies with skilled offshore professionals from the Philippines, supported by strong leadership, structured processes, and a people-first culture. Our goal is to help businesses scale efficiently while maintaining quality, consistency, and long-term team stability.

OUR STORY

Raising the Standard for Offshore Outsourcing

UpSource began with firsthand experience. A founder who faced the problem, then built a better solution.

While running his own accounting practice, Zelko Maric struggled to find an outsourcing partner that delivered consistent results. Many providers lacked clear communication, structured processes, and the level of accountability businesses need when building offshore teams.

Rather than settling for the status quo, he decided to build a better model. In 2023, UpSource was established with a clear mission: to raise the standard of offshore staffing for Australian businesses.

From the start, the company focused on three key foundations:

High-Quality Talent

Skilled offshore professionals from the Philippines

Transparent Communication

Structured processes with clear accountability

Strong Leadership

Operational support and genuine care for teams

Before 2023

The Problem Identified. Zelko runs an accounting practice and experiences the frustrations of unreliable outsourcing partners firsthand — poor communication, no accountability, inconsistent results.

2023 — Founding

UpSource is Established. Built on the belief that offshore staffing can and should be done better. Australian leadership + Philippines talent + structured processes.
