Three reasons it works for businesses in the United States
The Philippines has the highest English score in Asia outside Singapore. American business owners get skilled help at a fraction of the cost of a local hire, without timezone gaps or accent issues.
EST · CST · MST · PST Overlap
Your VA logs on during your business day. We schedule a 4-to-8 hour overlap so you get same-day replies, live Slack, and real-time calls.
Fluent, Neutral English
The Philippines ranks 2nd in Asia for English skill (EF EPI). Our VAs are trained on American business norms, emails, customer support, and Slack that don’t feel scripted.
What a Local Hire Costs
The median US administrative assistant earns $47,540 a year, an executive assistant $76,590 (BLS, May 2025). Those are gross wages, before payroll taxes, benefits, equipment and desk space. A managed VA carries none of those add-ons. Full benchmarks below.
No 1099s. No W-2s. No tax paperwork on your end.
Your VA is our employee in the Philippines, not yours. We pay them. We handle their taxes and benefits. You just pay one monthly invoice in US dollars, like paying any other vendor. US worker classification rules apply to people working in the US, your VA isn’t one of them.
What these roles cost to employ in the United States
Median annual wage, all US employers, published by an official source so you can size the gap yourself.
Source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025. These are gross pay only. They exclude employer payroll taxes, benefits, equipment and desk space, none of which you carry with a managed VA.
For the other side of the comparison, our Filipino VA Salary Report breaks down what Filipino VAs actually ask for, by role and experience level, from real applications.
Your VA’s day, in your timezone
Manila runs 13 hours ahead of EST, so an East Coast shift is a night shift in the Philippines and we staff and pay for it as one. Working Pacific hours instead? A West Coast shift runs midnight to 9:00 AM Manila, covering 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM PST. Central and Mountain sit between the two.

Common questions from American business owners
Do I need to send a 1099 or W-2? +
No. Your VA is our employee in the Philippines, not yours. You get one monthly invoice in US dollars, just like paying any other service provider. There’s no IRS reporting on your end.
What about misclassification risk? +
US worker classification rules apply to people working in the US. Your VA works from the Philippines and is employed by us, not you. DOL guidance on this doesn’t apply.
How does payment work? +
You pay us in US dollars by ACH, wire, or credit card. We pay your VA in their local currency in the Philippines. We also cover their benefits (13th month pay, health insurance, government-required programs).
Can my VA work US business hours? +
Yes. We schedule a 4 to 8 hour overlap with your timezone (EST, CST, MST, or PST). Your VA logs on during your morning so you get same-day responses.
What if my VA isn’t a fit? +
You get a 110-day replacement guarantee. We re-match you with someone better, at no extra cost.
What clients are actually saying, not written by us.
Liz ran a solo counselling practice in Australia. Karen was her dedicated Armasourcing assistant: inbox, bookings and client follow-ups, handled across the timezone gap. Every engagement gets reviewed the same honest way.
