Founded in 2017 as Upsmart Strategy Consulting Inc., Equity Labs initially set its course by offering CFO services tailored for the Philippine startup landscape. Sensing the market’s unmet need for premium accounting solutions, we broadened our portfolio to include managed services in 2018. In 2020, we introduced Incorpirata, a regtech venture aimed at streamlining company registrations. Our rebranding to Equity Labs Services Inc. in 2021 marked a renewed commitment to offering a full suite of services that generate tangible value.
Our unique advantages lie in our entrepreneurial drive, industry-specific expertise, and the perfect blend of global and local market insights. These core competencies allow Equity Labs to deliver high-impact financial solutions, cementing our reputation as a trusted business services partner in the Philippines and beyond.
Equity Labs is led by highly experienced finance professionals with decades of experience in finance and accounting.

With a background that includes pivotal roles in the IPO of the world’s most valuable company while at Ernst & Young in the UK, Filbert brings a blend of international acumen and local know-how. He has been a consultant to the Philippine Regulatory Board of Accountancy and a resource person for financial reporting reform in the Philippines to the World Bank. His breadth of experience and specialized focus ensure that Equity Labs delivers client-centered, strategic financial solutions.
