It’s our 20th Anniversary!

Gosh, how time flies! It is with tremendous excitement that Entity Solutions celebrates its 20th year as a business in 2019. “How did it all start?” you may be wondering. Well, our story begins back in 1999, when four passionate professionals (Matthew Franceschini, Jonathan Knowles, Carlos Ruiz and Pedro Fric) sought to meet the needs of an emerging, niche market of white collar contractors in Australia.

At the time, many organisations were unaware of their responsibilities in relation to engaging skilled workers on a fixed term, assignment or project basis, and little attention was given to the management costs and potential compliance risks. To that end, they founded Entity Solutions (ES) – intent on making it a success.

 

Starting out

Based in Victoria, ES was originally classified as a ‘provider of salary packaging solutions for contractors’ but soon restructured its business model and expanded its service offering to cater to a changing environment. Entity Migration is one such example of anticipating Australia’s workforce needs by simplifying the sponsorship process for engaging overseas professionals. Together with an unwavering commitment to our core values, it allowed ES to become a leader in the Australian contingent workforce space and pioneer the acceptance of contingent workers as a legitimate and invaluable resource for businesses.

Dominance in the Australian market naturally paved the way for international expansion, and the rest as they say, is history! The reasons for starting the business still hold as true today as they did in 1999, as Entity Solutions continues to grow to meet the needs of independent professionals (or IPros as we like to call them) and organisations in this new world of work.
