Virtual assistants typically provide support to companies, agencies or individuals by handling customer service, accounting, scheduling, word processing, administrative tasks, data entry and more.
Sometimes called online assistants, remote assistants, executive assistants or personal assistants, they aren’t required to work in an office and can perform their tasks from the safety and comfort of their own home.
For many virtual assistants, the role provides the ultimate flexibility and control and is a real way to make money from home.
And luckily, many companies on FlexJobs are looking for virtual assistants to work on a freelance or employee basis, full-time or part-time — even offering virtual assistant jobs for beginners. That’s why we’re featuring companies that commonly hire for remote virtual assistant positions.
