A virtual PA, managed from the UK
A good PA gives you back the hours you spend on email, scheduling and chasing. A virtual PA does the same from the Philippines, managed by us, so you get one dedicated person who learns how you work.
Works in Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Calendly, Slack, WhatsApp, Xero
What your virtual PA handles
Inbox
Sorted every morning: replies drafted or sent in your voice, and only what needs you left for you.
Diary
Meetings booked, moved and confirmed, with reminders and the papers you need attached.
Travel
Trains, flights and hotels researched and booked to your preferences.
Documents
Letters, proposals and spreadsheets prepared from your notes, and filed where you can find them.
Follow-ups
Chasing replies, invoices and decisions so nothing you asked for goes quiet.
Research
Suppliers compared, information gathered and summarised on one page.

- The Mango workspace for tasks, messages, hours and a weekly report
- Replaced if it is not working, with your procedures kept
You pay for work that has been done

Questions
Is a virtual PA the same as a virtual assistant?
Mostly. A PA works closely for one person, on their inbox, diary and priorities, where a VA may run a process for the business. We recruit for whichever the role needs.
Will they have access to my email?
Only what you agree. Logins and access are set up with you before day one and removed the day they leave.
What hours does the VA work?
UK business hours as standard. Our VAs are in the Philippines, so a UK working day is their afternoon and evening, and every role is advertised in both time zones.
When do I pay?
Monthly, in arrears: you pay for a month after it has been worked. The one-off onboarding fee is the only thing paid before your VA starts.
Is the VA an employee?
No. VAs work as self-employed contractors. On the managed service they are contracted to us and we handle their pay and performance; you direct the work.
Do I have to give them my passwords?
You should not. Give your VA their own login wherever the software allows, or share access through a password manager, so it can be removed in one step.
