WHY A FILIPINO VIRTUAL ASSISTANT
Why US and Australian businesses hire virtual administrative assistants from the Philippines
The Philippines is the world’s leading source of virtual assistants for Western businesses. Fluent English, a strong service culture, familiarity with US and Australian business norms and costs well below local rates make a Filipino virtual administrative assistant the most practical way to get admin off your plate.
Lower Than Local Hiring
A full-time virtual administrative assistant in the Philippines typically costs 50 to 70% less than an equivalent local hire in the US or Australia once salary, benefits, payroll tax, superannuation, equipment and office space are included.
Fluent, Professional English
English is an official language in the Philippines and the language of business and education. Your assistant writes clear emails, takes calls confidently and represents your business professionally with clients and suppliers.
IT and BPM Professionals
The Philippines has one of the largest English-speaking outsourcing workforces in the world. That depth of talent means experienced administrative assistants who already know the tools and workflows US and Australian businesses use every day.
Works Your Hours
Manila shares most of the working day with Australia, and Filipino assistants routinely work night shifts aligned to US Eastern, Central and Pacific time. Your assistant is online when you are.

A virtual assistant who works when you work
Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8) makes live, same-day support easy for both markets. Australian clients share most of the working day with Manila on a standard day shift. US clients get assistants who work night shifts in Manila, which is common and well established in the Philippine outsourcing industry.
Your assistant’s schedule is agreed before they start, so they are online for your meetings, calls and real-time requests, not just working while you sleep.

LOCAL HIRE VS VIRTUAL ASSISTANT
Why hire a virtual administrative assistant from the Philippines
A local administrative assistant comes with salary, benefits, office space and the cost of recruiting and replacing staff. Freelance marketplaces are cheaper but often unreliable. A dedicated Philippine virtual assistant through UpraisIT gives you the reliability of an employee at a fraction of the cost.
Local In-Office Administrative Assistant
- Typical salaries of US$45,000+ or A$60,000+ per year before benefits, superannuation and payroll tax
- Weeks of advertising, interviewing and onboarding for every hire
- Desk space, computer, software and office overhead for every seat
- Leave, sick days and resignations leave admin piling up
- Freelancers juggle multiple clients and can disappear without notice
Dedicated Virtual Assistant via UpraisIT

- Pre-vetted shortlist in about a week, with no recruitment fees
- Equipment, internet backup, payroll and HR all handled for you
