Offshore staff in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh is Scotland's capital. It keeps UK time (GMT or BST), which is UTC+0 or UTC+1. Edinburgh changes its clocks for daylight saving, so the overlap with some of our hubs moves by an hour for part of the year.

Report preparation, data checks, research and admin around client files. A Paraplanner or Financial Analyst works to your templates while advisers keep the advice and sign-off.

Yes. Seats are month to month with 30 days' notice, so you can add a Virtual Receptionist before the peak and review it afterwards. Part-time Seats start from the minimum weekly hours.

Yes. A Research Assistant gathers sources, summarises papers and tidies notes. Your researchers keep the judgement and the conclusions.

Yes. Back-End, Front-End and Full-Stack Developers are Seat roles, and a QA Tester can check releases. Each person is tested before you meet them.

You set the hours. The Nigeria hub shares 7-8 hours of an Edinburgh 9-to-5, and we match people who can work evenings or early starts.

Advice that needs a licence, guests at the door and decisions on the numbers. A Seat prepares the work around them.

A Legal Assistant or Paralegal prepares documents, diaries deadlines and keeps files in order. Your lawyers keep the advice and anything that goes to court.

A local admin in the UK costs £12.71 an hour at entry level, up to £25.52 for a senior office manager, before on-costs. A local mid-level admin costs £16 an hour; an Intermediate admin Seat is £7 an hour, all-in. (National Living Wage and ONS ASHE pay for administrative occupations and office managers (upper quartile), Apr 2026 and 2025. National figures for the UK, not Edinburgh wages.)

A Research Assistant or Administrative Assistant can gather the documents, fill repeated forms and keep the submission checklist. Your bid lead writes and signs the response.

Enquiries, bookings and supplier admin can multiply for weeks. Adding a Seat in June means the person is trained before August and can be released in the autumn with 30 days' notice.

Week one is your templates, systems and a sample of past reports. Then the person drafts a small batch for adviser review, and the review notes tighten each following batch.

List your portfolio or planning system, your CRM, your booking or ticketing software and your shared drive. We match people who have used comparable tools, and you decide which systems they can see.

A Paraplanner is often followed by a Financial Analyst, and a Virtual Receptionist by a Social Media Manager for venues. Software teams add a QA Tester after their first developer.

Seats start at £3 an hour, all-in, full time (38 hours a week). The four levels run up to £26.50 an hour for a Specialist. Prices exclude VAT. You see the hourly price before you meet anyone.

No. Prices exclude VAT, and you pay in GBP. Your invoice shows any tax that applies.

No. We're a remote team that works on your hours, and every call and demo is on Teams. Our head office is in Melbourne.

We do. We hire your person and supply them to you under our services agreement, so you are not their employer and there is no payroll on your side. You direct the work and you own what they make.
