Frequently asked questions

What is an Agency of Record?

An Agency of Record enables companies to engage independent contractors through a third party. High Five becomes the contractor’s contractual counterparty on your behalf and manages agreements, invoicing, payments, and administration throughout the engagement.

You select the contractor and agree on the scope of work and compensation. High Five then enters into the contractor agreement, invoices your company, pays the contractor, and manages the administrative documentation for the engagement.

Your company continues to manage the contractor’s projects, deliverables, and day-to-day collaboration. High Five manages the contractual and payment relationship.

We review the proposed working arrangement and help structure and document it as an independent contractor engagement. If the relationship operates more like employment, we may recommend using an Employer of Record instead.

High Five sends your company an invoice covering contractor compensation and applicable service fees. Once payment is received, we pay the contractor in their local currency and maintain the relevant transaction records.

Our service is suitable for companies engaging independent professionals across borders, particularly when they do not have a local entity or want to avoid managing multiple contracts, invoices, currencies, and payment processes themselves.
