How do you differ from other HR, payroll outsource providers?

  • Our clients do not have to find different providers in each Asian country
  • We are a one-stop shop with both centralized and decentralized processing with staff on the ground in each country we service
  • We provide a single-point-of-contact to coordinate regional payroll for clients with staff in multiple countries.
  • For clients who do not have legal entities in a given country, we are able to employ staff to support the client's Asian operations
  • In addition to HR/payroll outsourcing, we also provide related peripheral services such as benefits, visas, work permits, relocation, accounting, audit, income tax preparation, office space and secretarial support

Services

What services does Tiger Consulting offer?

Our experienced team offers comprehensive HR and payroll outsource services that enable our clients to successfully expand their business to the Asia market.

What would be a typical scenerio that would require your services?

An International business that wants to have 1-200 employees in one or more Asian countries but doesn't want to waste time or money trying to manage HR or payroll functions themselves will approach us to serve as the "back office".

Why can't our company simply manage HR, payroll in Asia if we are successfully managing these functions for our operations in the West?

Most companies find it very challenging and cost prohibitive to open offices, hire local talent and manage HR, payroll and staff while staying in accordance with local business and tax laws. We are experts in this area and will make setting up shop in Asia easier and more cost-effective for your company.

Customers

How many clients do you have?

Tiger Consulting currently serves more than 100 enterprise clients.

What kind of customers do you serve?

Tiger Consulting works with medium to large enterprise clients (mainly U.S.-based International businesses including some Fortune 500 companies).

Can you provide me with a list of your customers?

No. We honor our clients' desire for privacy and do not share their information with prospects. Outsourcing not only offers a competitive advantage that our customers want to protect but as their HR and payroll outsource provider, we are charged with managing highly sensitive information that requires confidentiality. For these reasons, we take very seriously the need for protecting our clients' privacy and can promise the same will be provided for your company if you should choose to work with Tiger Consulting. To learn more about our extensive knowledge in HR, payroll and Asia business practices and culture, there are a number of resources on our website available for review.
