Virtual assistants are changing the way work gets done. 

VAs are professionals who can effortlessly manage everything from administrative tasks to specialized projects. 

They streamline operations, save you time, and offer a fresh perspective, letting you focus on what matters.

For the best VAs in the world, the Philippines is your go-to spot, which is home to over 1.57 million outsourcing professionals across fields like IT, customer support, hospitality, and finance.


Not only this, the Philippines has also been recognized three times as the "Offshoring Destination of the Year" by the UK’s National Outsourcing Association!

To help you find the best among the lot with a track record of catering to several industries, we have curated a list of 10 of the biggest virtual assistant providers in the Philippines. Our selection criteria include:

Credibility: Each service we’ve highlighted has a strong client base and a proven history of successfully placing candidates, ensuring a dependable track record. We also considered client reviews, which underscore the quality of the candidates provided. Positive feedback from satisfied clients is a clear indicator of these services’ reliability and effectiveness.

Range of offerings: The services we've chosen offer a comprehensive selection of assistants skilled in various medical billing tasks. Whether you need assistance with insurance claims processing, patient billing, or managing patient inquiries, these services are equipped to meet your needs.

Varied pricing options: Whether you’re searching for cost-effective solutions or high-end services, our list includes options across different price ranges, ensuring you can find the perfect match for your budget.

1. Leverage Assistants

Starting price: $2600 per assistant, per month working full-time

Leverage Assistants is a white-glove virtual assistant staffing company. The company was founded by Stephen Turban, a serial entrepreneur and McKinsey alum (his last company was bootstrapped to 8-digits revenue) and it focuses on picking 1% talent globally and then training you to delegate to them effectively. Leverage is highly selective for applicants - selecting less than .2% of its applicants who apply.

Leverage Assistants match businesses with flexible, college-educated competent offshore talent. Most of Leverage’s talent is in the Philippines or South Africa. Leverage is known for its high quality of talent and its delegation training for founders.

The service however is not as on-demand as other virtual assistant companies like Upwork (placement times are 2-4 weeks), and the service often includes a waitlist for interested founders, Leverage only provides full-time virtual assistants.

Leverage comes across as one of the most affordable VA services available, owing to its pricing model - you can hire a VA for unlimited hours/tasks, all for a fixed monthly fee. Most other competitors have an hour-based model that can be quite steeply priced, especially if you’re a small business looking for an affordable option!

However, it's worth noting that OnlineJobs.ph primarily serves as a connector between you and the VA, without offering management support for your hire, which might be a consideration for some businesses.

4. Outsourced

Starting Price: NA

Types of remote staff they provide: Web Development, Telemarketing, Project Management, Digital Marketing, and more

Languages Supported: English

Outsourced focuses on VA outsourcing, making it an excellent choice for businesses aiming to build an offshore team in the Philippines. With a roster of over 1,000 VAs, they offer expertise across 10 major sectors, including IT, healthcare, engineering, marketing, and finance.

We selected this website because they hire the top 5% of VAs in the Philippines, and also offer the flexibility to choose between home-based or office-based VAs based on your specific needs.

However, the platform’s pricing structure lacks transparency, which could make it challenging to evaluate the overall value of their services upfront.

5. 20Four7VA

Starting price: You can request an estimate by contacting their sales team.

Types of remote staff they provide: Admin VA, eCommerce VA, Technical VA, Podcast VA and more 

Languages supported: English

Their VAs are equipped to manage a wide variety of tasks, from scheduling and email management to social media, data entry, customer service, bookkeeping, market research, and more.

We recommend this platform for its impressive Trustpilot rating and its extensive network of highly skilled VAs. 

One standout feature is their robust security protocols, which safeguard client data and privacy. However, as a matching platform, it might take some time to find the VA who’s the perfect fit for your needs.

6. Cloud Staff

Starting price: $600 per assistant

Types of remote staff they provide: Accounting VAs, Admin VAs, Digital Marketing VAs, e-commerce VAs, and more

With main offices in India and the Philippines, their VAs cover a spectrum of services including customer support, digital marketing, software development, administrative tasks, and beyond.

CloudStaff caught our attention due to its extensive industry experience and solid history of delivering dependable offshore staffing. 

However, one limitation is the three-step process for finding a VA, which may not be ideal for those who need to hire quickly.

7. Athena Assistants

Starting price: $3000 per month

Types of remote staff provided: Virtual Assistants 

Languages supported: English

Operating fully remotely, Athena has built a reputation for their thorough training programs and has a network of over 500,000 VAs.

We highlighted this service because, within the first 100 days, an Athena Assistant prioritizes essential tasks like calendar, inbox, and travel management, along with three additional projects identified during onboarding. After that, the sky’s the limit when it comes to delegating tasks.

That said, it’s worth noting that as a matching platform, Athena doesn’t manage your ongoing relationship with your assistant.
