How EasyStaff can replace an accountant and help save money on cooperation with foreign contractors

It is often more profitable for small businesses to hire freelancers from CIS countries: the rates can be lower there, and the choice of professionals is wider. But working with remote employees as a result may not be cheap, because you have to pay for the services of an accountant, sign a contract with each employee, collect documents for currency transactions, pay a commission for international bank transfers.

Contact EasyStaff to save on commissions and to avoid paperwork. We explain how the service will reduce your financial and time costs.

Imagine: you've hired a designer in Bulgaria, a team of software engineers in Belarus and five more people in the CIS countries. If you work with everyone separately, you would have to draw up dozens of contracts. And also to maintain a whole staff of accountants who will deal with the laws of different countries, prepare documents and compile them in two languages.

With EasyStaff, cooperation with foreign freelancers is easier and more convenient. You sign a contract with our platform once: and that's it, no paperwork. To sign an agreement with EasyStaff, you do not even need to go anywhere, it is done completely online. We send you the contract via email in a PDF file, and you just need to enter your last name to sign it electronically.

After signing the contract, you can invite your contractors to EasyStaff. Our platform will act as their employer that makes payments. And for you, as a contractor that performs tasks. That is, EasyStaff acts as an intermediary between the customer and the freelancer.

With EasyStaff, you won't have to hire accountants and assistants to handle paperwork and keep track of the legal side of the deal. So there are fewer employees on staff, and that saves on salaries, taxes, and insurance premiums.

Not all contractors have foreign bank cards, and for SWIFT-transfers it is necessary to pay fees that reach several dozen euros, regardless of the amount of payment. Let's say you have to pay a freelancer 100 euros, it may cost you 37 euros. If there are a lot of such payments, you will lose a lot of money on commissions. Moreover, in Russia, due to sanctions, SWIFT-payments do not work at all.

When working with EasyStaff, you pay only once: 5-10% of the payment amount or fixed commission. For example, you need to pay $10,000 to your freelancers, so our commission is $500. This is much more profitable than paying a commission for international bank transfers to different countries.
You also don't have to worry about how and where to convert money: you top up your balance in EasyStaff in USD or EUR, and can easily convert it to RUB and UAH for payments.

EasyStaff is an international company that is located in a European jurisdiction, so you do not have to pay taxes, insurance premiums and VAT. You just need to top up your account with an amount including the commission, so that it is enough to pay for the services of contractors. No reports and no additional bureaucracy.

There will be no problems with the tax authorities, because after each completed task you will receive an invoice: this is an international act confirming the company's expenses.
