General virtual assistants start at $8 per hour. Specialized roles such as bookkeepers, digital marketers, copywriters and web developers run up to $15 per hour. It’s pay-as-you-go: you only pay for hours worked, with no hidden fees and no long-term contracts.

Fast. After a short discovery call we send you 2–3 top profiles, you interview your favourites, and your VA is onboarded within 48 hours on average. Our team stays with you through setup so day one is productive.

Our team is based in Kenya. We recruit and train the finest university graduates in engineering, education, economics, ICT, science and business, and match them to businesses in the USA, Europe, Australia and beyond. English is an official language in Kenya, and our VAs work your business hours.

We guarantee the fit. If your VA isn't right, we replace them at no extra cost. Your dedicated account manager monitors quality every week and can facilitate a switch anytime. Support is available 24/7.

Virtual Wise is a social enterprise. In Kenya, over 35% of young people are unemployed despite an 81.5% literacy rate. Every hour you delegate becomes stable, dignified income for a young professional: school fees for siblings, food on the table, healthcare for families. Over 60% of our team are women, so your hire also helps reduce gender inequality.

Every VA signs a Confidentiality Agreement and NDA before starting. We run background checks, provide secure-workspace guidelines, use your preferred tools and permissions, and can accommodate additional security requirements for regulated industries.

Once you hire, you get access to our timesheet platform where your VA logs hours against tasks. You review the hours, and we invoice you, transparent and simple. Scale hours up or down week to week, from 5 to 40+.
