More Staffing vs System Six

Side by Side

More Staffing and System Six, attribute by attribute
AttributeMore StaffingSystem Six
What It IsRecruits, vets and onboards full-time remote staff in the Philippines for owner-led businesses, covering operations managers, executive assistants, bookkeepers and customer support leads, then stays involved with coaching and replacement cover.Outsourced bookkeeping, payroll and part-time CFO work, with a service page written for acquisition entrepreneurs specifically. Its own pitch is the month after close: taking over books kept by the seller, closing them on a schedule, and producing statements a lender and an owner can both read.

What It CostsPublished on its pricing page at $1,000 a month per full-time hire, covering recruiting, onboarding, coaching, retention support and replacement cover. The hire's own salary is billed separately.Nothing published. Scope is quoted after a call, which is standard for bookkeeping engagements priced on transaction volume and the state of the books being inherited.
Best ForFilling an operations or bookkeeping seat without paying a US salaryA new owner who inherited the seller's bookkeeping and a lender who wants monthly statements
Where It FitsOperate & Grow the BusinessOperate & Grow the Business
Our VerdictWorth a look when the seller was doing three jobs and you are not going to.The clearest fit in this category for a buyer inheriting a seller's books, and the one question to ask on the call is what a month costs once the cleanup is done.
Pros
  • Publishes an actual monthly price and what it covers, which most of this category does not
  • Its own site names founders and operators of ecommerce, agency and home-services businesses as the customer
  • Posts dated within the last week, so the offering can be checked rather than assumed
  • The acquisition-entrepreneur page states a client count, a transformation window and a retention figure, which is more than most firms in this category publish
  • Its chief executive bought the firm himself through a self-funded search, so the failure it describes is one it has been through
  • Bookkeeping, payroll and CFO advisory come from one firm, which matters when the question is whether the numbers a lender sees are the numbers the owner runs on
Cons
  • The monthly fee sits on top of the hire's salary, and the savings math on its own site assumes remote pay near a quarter of a comparable US hire
  • Its named client base runs up into private equity and enterprise recruiting, so part of the practice is above this reader
  • Talent is sourced from one country, so a role needing US hours or US licensure is out of scope
  • No published pricing, so the engagement cannot be sized before a call
  • The figures on its own page are the firm's own, unaudited and undated
  • It is a sponsor of the main acquisition podcast, so its name recurs there as advertising rather than as a buyer's account of using it

Our take

Choose the hire when the work is ongoing, varied and yours to direct, and when a full-time seat at US pay is what you are trying to avoid. It is $1,000 a month per hire for recruiting, onboarding, coaching and replacement cover, with the person's own salary billed on top, and the roles it fills are operations, bookkeeping, assistant and support. Read two limits first: the savings arithmetic on its own site assumes remote pay near a quarter of a comparable US salary, and talent comes from one country, so a role needing US hours or a US license is out of scope.

Choose the firm when the errand is the month after close specifically: taking over books the seller kept, closing them on a schedule, and producing statements a lender and an owner can both read. That is a defined job with a finish line, and it needs no managing. The comparison runs one way on price, because this side publishes none and is scoped after a call, which is normal for bookkeeping priced on transaction volume and the state of the books you inherited. Its name also recurs as podcast advertising, which is not a buyer's account of using it.
