What people ask us first
Something else on your mind? Ask on your free 20-minute call
I’ve been burned by VAs before.
You get a dedicated assistant, matched deliberately. Your account manager runs the account. Nothing sits without an owner.
“…I was having trouble with another VA service that just turned down everything I gave them or gave an excuse why they couldn’t do it. OkayRelax stepped up took my tasks and did them. It was a dream come true.”
Jason · OkayRelax client · Virtual Assistant Assistant, February 2022
My work is too sensitive or specialized.
Every assistant is background-checked, identity-verified, and working under strict confidentiality. We match for domain.
I don’t have time to train someone.
You shouldn’t need to. Your assistant is a seasoned professional who’s done this work before. Your account manager handles the ramp.
Why not hire directly?
A full-time executive assistant costs about $109,000 a year once benefits and payroll taxes are added (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics figures), plus weeks of hiring and HR on you. With us you start in days, with a dedicated assistant, and an account manager runs the account.
What if I don’t click with them?
Tell your account manager. We rematch. No drama.
Are they overseas?
Our team is global. Every assistant is assessed for professional-grade English, written and spoken. Geography isn’t a proxy for quality. Selection is.
