What a Philippines Virtual Assistant Actually Costs
Most guides talk around pricing. Here are real numbers. At Virtual Ventures, a dedicated, full-time virtual assistant in the Philippines starts at $10 per hour. There is no setup fee, no onboarding charge, and no different rate depending on whether the role is admin, bookkeeping, customer service, or research. You are staffing a full-time professional, not renting hours in a shared pool.
That full-time-only model is deliberate. Part-time offshore assistants tend to take on a second client to meet their income needs, and when that second workload grows, one client loses out. A single, dedicated, full-time assignment removes that risk and is the reason our client work stays consistent.
What a Philippines Virtual Assistant Can Do
The role adapts to the size and function of your business. Common placements include:
- Administrative and data processing support, from inbox and calendar management to data entry and record cleanup
- Bookkeeping and accounting support in tools like QuickBooks and NetSuite
- Customer service and inbound support
- HR and recruitment coordination
- Marketing and social media execution
- Sales support, CRM management, and lead follow-up
- IT support and back-office operations
Small businesses usually start with one assistant handling daily admin. Mid-sized and larger teams place assistants into specific departments and scale from there. If your team is losing hours to work that does not require your in-house staff, that is the work to hand off first.

How to Hire One in About 10 Business Days
The process is built to be fast without cutting corners on quality.
- Define the role. Decide what the assistant will own day to day, from admin tasks to department-level support.
- Kickoff. We take your requirements and source against them through a multi-stage vetting process.
- Review three candidates. For each open role you receive three vetted finalists to interview.
- Select and place. You choose the assistant who fits your workflow, and placement runs about 10 business days from kickoff.
- Onboard into your tools. Your assistant is trained on your systems and processes, so they work inside your existing stack from day one.
Working through a vetted offshore staffing partner rather than hiring a freelancer directly means the sourcing, screening, and replacement risk sits with us, not you. For the full walkthrough of options, our complete hiring guide for virtual assistants in the Philippines breaks down direct hiring versus agency support in more detail.
How Virtual Ventures Protects Your Business
Handing work to an offshore assistant means giving access to systems and data, so the controls matter. Every Virtual Ventures assistant is 100% dedicated to a single client, signs a Non-Disclosure Agreement before starting, and can sign any additional confidentiality documents your business requires. Associate devices are monitored for compliance and misuse. Your assistant is never shared across accounts.
Because our associates are offshore professionals who remain Virtual Ventures employees, we handle payroll, taxes, and HR compliance. You get a dedicated team member without the administrative and employment overhead of a direct foreign hire. Virtual Ventures works with US-based clients.
What the Engagement Looks Like
The details of the working relationship matter as much as the hire itself.
Contract. Month-to-month after an initial six months, with 30 days notice. No setup or onboarding fee.
Hours. You set them. Your assistant works an 8-hour shift, 5 days a week, aligned to your time zone.
Check-ins. Weekly for the first four weeks, bi-weekly through month six, then monthly, covering timesheets, performance, and open items.
If it is not working. We replace the assistant at no cost. Past six months you receive one week of free labor during the transition, four weeks at one year, and six weeks at 18 months.
Teams of three or more tend to see the fastest return, though we support businesses of every size. If you want to understand the broader savings picture, our breakdown of Philippines virtual assistant services covers the time and cost side in more depth.
