Do you ever feel like there isn’t enough time in the day to finish all your tasks? By outsourcing, virtual assistant companies can help you and your business flourish efficiently and affordably.

When finding virtual assistants, it’s important to choose professional BPO companies whose candidates have experience and training. The Philippines regularly exceeds expectations on the Global Competitiveness Index, making them a great option for outsourcing writing, content, and communication tasks.

That’s why we compiled a list of virtual assistant companies in the Philippines that could help you organize your schedule, handle administrative tasks, and much more.

Let’s get started.

1. USource

USource is a digital outsourcing company. Established in 2015, with its roots extending back to 2005 in client-side digital services.

As both an Australian and Philippines incorporated company, their focus is on virtual assistance and offshore solutions for end-to-end digital; digital Ads, SEO, analytics, copywriting, graphic design, development, email marketing, customer support, back office administration, e-commerce, and social media.

All USource assistants are full-time employees of the company, not contractors or freelancers. This provides both job security and compliance with Philippine labor and tax laws. They also make their specialized virtual assistants available to companies globally for full-time or part-time work and ad-hoc projects. They can work independently or as part of small, medium, or large-scale teams.

Pricing

Pricing will depend on the type of digital work and the project’s complexity.

• Junior Team Member: rates from $9 – $13 per hour
• Mid-Level Team Member: $14 – $20 per hour 
• Senior Team Member: $21 – $35 per hour

2. TaskBullet

TaskBullet has offices based in California and Manila. This virtual assistant company utilizes Filipino professionals to help your business with administrative support, accounting, data entry, writing, and social media marketing. They also offer support services right in America and can help your business tap into the outsourced potential in the Philippines.

This virtual assistant company will get your tasks done in just a few easy steps. Just sign up, pay for your initial hours, and TaskBullet will assign you your very own personal assistant. 

Then, send your virtual assistant jobs with detailed instructions and watch your to-do list shrink. Your VA will then send reports, check-ins, and transcripts based on your preferences.

Pricing

TaskBullet’s pricing model is different from that of most VA or freelance marketplaces. Instead of paying your VA their specific rate, you buy Buckets — a set number of hours you can use their services.

For example, the $220 Starter Bucket gets you 20 hours of VA services. You can continue working with virtual assistants as long as you have hours in your Bucket. Regardless of the type or complexity of the work, with no additional fees. You’ll get a dedicated project manager with the plan, and the hours will be valid for three months.

TaskBullet offers different pricing plans for Philippine- and USA-based virtual assistants. They also offer enterprise pricing with a minimum requirement of three full-time VAs.

	Philippine-based VA	US-based VA
Starter Bucket	$220 for 20 hours	$300.00 for 10 hours
Light Bucket	$540 for 60 hours	$780.00 for 30 hours
Expert Bucket	$1560.00 for 240 hours	$1500.00 for 60 hours

3. Virtual Staff Finder

Virtual Staff Finder is based in the Philippines and has over ten years of outsourcing experience. They recommend hiring a virtual assistant so you can focus on growing your business instead of doing busy work to maintain it. Their founder, Chris Ducker, has also written an interesting guide to paying your virtual assistant in the Philippines.

You can find a VA with Virtual Staff Finder in five easy steps; sign-up, sourcing, testing, interview, and hiring. VSF will help you define your job description, select and test qualified candidates, and send you the top three candidates for your job listings all for a one-time fee of $595.

From there, you can save considerable admin time and skip straight to the interview process.

4. OVA Virtual

OVA Virtual is a reliable provider of skilled and full-time virtual assistants in the Philippines. From customer service representatives, administrative assistants, and HR officers to information technology experts, OVA Virtual can help you find the right VA for your company.

OVA Virtual takes pride in its impressive roster of Filipina virtual assistants. Most of their VAs are accomplished Filipina professionals who have shifted to working from home. In other words, quality of service is virtually (pun intended) guaranteed.

Pricing

OVA Virtual offers a competitive pricing model. The Starter plan includes 20 hours and costs $145 per week (which amounts to $7.25 per hour). This also comes with 24/7 support and the option to replace the VA assigned to you if they don’t fit your needs.

• Starter: 20 hours for $145 per week
• Professional: 30 hours for $218 per week
• Executive: 40 hours for $290 per week

It’s important to know that these are basic prices. You may have to pay more depending on the particular skills and experience required by the job.

5. Remote Workmate

Remote Workmate is a virtual assistant company based in Australia that promotes the benefits of hiring Philippine-based remote talent for Western countries. 

They offer a free trial period and recruitment support services like reviewing resumes and crafting job descriptions. 

Remote Workmate also offers a free employee swap program, so in the unlikely event your virtual assistant is a bad fit for your team, you can switch to a different employee.

Although this company doesn’t have a branch in the Philippines, its candidates are based there and can handle online marketing, sales, customer support, content writing, graphic design, and more.

According to their website, the three things that make them a “go-to Philippine-based virtual staff finder” are: 

• A fast and free recruitment process
• A single monthly invoice that covers everything from payroll management to employee services
• A no work, no pay policy. 

Pricing

Virtual assistant rates vary depending on the type of position you’re looking to fill. Remote Workmate does a great job of breaking down these rates by job role for both part-time and full-time VAs. However, you’ll have to request a consultation to see specific pricing information for their services.

Remote Workmate is a great option if you’re looking for someone to work with full-time. It’s not the best place to look if you only need a VA for a short project or a minuscule list of to-dos, though.

6. Virtual Done Well

Virtual Done Well is based in Davao City, Philippines, and offers virtual assistants who can manage your emails, book your appointments and take your phone calls.

What to keep in mind when hiring a virtual assistant in the Philippines

There are a few things to keep in mind when looking to hire a Filipino virtual assistant. First, expect to pay anywhere from $2-$14 per hour. Of course, this is subject to change depending on the skill level.

Second, always ensure you do proper due diligence on the company you hire. If it’s an individual, you should also ensure that they’re accountable for their virtual assistant services. Don’t be afraid to look for another one if they’re not performing.

Working with any virtual assistant goes a lot more smoothly when you clearly define what they should (and shouldn’t) do for you. That’s why we created this free responsibilities agreement to help you get started right.
