GO Virtual Assistants (GO-VA) provides outsourcing and offshore recruitment services for the Accounting and Financial Services Industry.

People are buying different goods and shopping differently, but they’re still buying.
The difference between retailers who continue to grow amid the COVID-19 pandemic and those who struggle is how ready they are to meet and serve customers online.
In June 2020, visits to retail websites all over the world reached 22 billion, which was more than in the holiday shopping season in December 2019, Statista reported.
For retailers who are new to ecommerce, experienced Virtual Assistants can support them in several ways: from developing and maintaining their online stores to making sure potential buyers find them easily. Processing orders, responding to customers’ queries, managing inventory, and marketing to the right communities are all key, time-consuming tasks online retailers can delegate to a skilled VA.
If you’ve never worked with a VA before, that’s OK. We’d be happy to answer your questions!
Let’s find you remarkable Virtual Assistants with the core financial skills, computing experience, and communication and relationship-building abilities that will give your business an edge. Execute on more tasks, for far less cost than you’d expect. And gain a foothold in Asia, where some of the most helpful innovations in financial services are taking place.
Don’t let busyness get in the way of figuring out your purpose and finding true productivity.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Friends, think back to the 8 questions that we explored this week in our Exceed.Institute sessions. If you’re a job candidate who’s curious about what those questions are, reach out to us at marketing@go-va.com.au and we’d be happy to share them with you!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Essential IT and Development Skills to Help Your Business Scale!
Imagine what your business could do if there were more software development and IT skills in your team.
Your business could:
✅ build and maintain e-commerce stores;
✅ design, develop, and support apps; or
✅ provide more dependable tech support to your virtual team.
We believe in global teams so much that we’ve built an enterprise productivity software specifically designed for driving engagement, morale, and productivity within virtual teams.
And our professional team of recruiters can find the right team members to meet your IT and software development needs.
Everyone is online in 2020, whether for work, school, or leisure. For businesses, this creates the challenge of getting your story acrossーand reaching your community of customers, both current and potentialーwithout spending too much on advertising. And without crowding out important messages about public health and the pandemic.
At Go Virtual Assistants, we believe people deserve to feel like they’re winning. And that includes business owners who have built something so remarkable that a larger community needs to find out about them. We can help.
Whether you work from home or report to the Go Virtual Assistants (GO-VA) office in Cebu IT Park, we’ll do our best to make you feel that you’re winning.
You will be given the latest software and hardware tools. You will have frequent (in most cases, daily) contact with your client, who will train you in their policies and procedures.
Every day, you will be supported by a Results Coach, who will ensure you get the guidance, encouragement, and clarity you need, and help you stay aligned with your client’s highest priorities.
As a managed operations business, we are driven to give our clients the advantages of outsourcing offshore, without all the hassles of starting their own company abroad.
Our growing community of clients includes education and corporate training groups, recruitment agencies, real estate brokers, property management businesses, financial services, architecture and construction companies, and more. You’ll build the connections and gain experience in the industry that aligns with your goals and interests.
Most are based in Australia and the United States, although we also have growth-stage companies as clients in Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United Kingdom, among others.
Our benefits go beyond industry standards. We were among the first companies to provide free private medical insurance starting on each team member’s first day at work. A qualified dependent gets the same coverage, too, for free.
We are known for our kind and caring culture. We believe the potential that people have is phenomenal, and it can best be unleashed when people feel safe and understood.
We lead with these core values as our foundation:
Our Founder and Chief Technology Officer Matt Kesby is experienced in developing employees and organizations to produce outstanding results. He has developed 7 different ventures, created employment for over 500 people and served more than 1.1 million customers in Australia. In addition to prestigious awards, his accolades also include a Bachelor of Business majoring in Marketing with postgraduate studies in Strategy and Innovation and a 10-year membership with the global community Entrepreneurs Organization. Matt was Execution Practice Leader for FranklinCovey Australia, assisting companies to coach their employees with the methodologies of The 4 Disciplines of Execution and The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.
Before joining GO-VA, our CEO and Head of Culture Fiona Kesby built a track record in recruitment, including the IT and construction and engineering industries. She relocated to Cebu with her 2 daughters in May 2015, a year into GO-VA’s journey, to lead Sales and Recruitment. That soon expanded into taking the helm as CEO. Fiona is committed to “getting the culture right” as the basis for GO-VA’s growth and the well-being and performance of all team members. In 2018, inspired by a Zappos culture camp led by Tony Hsieh, Fiona introduced the position of Chief Happiness Officer in GO-VA.
Kristofer helps our clients set the groundwork for exceptional results by documenting their processes in our in-house productivity software dothis.to.
One such client, Colleen M., commended Kristofer for sending daily uplifting messages (Care) and for adding value with every process that he documents and coordinates (Execute). “He is a student of his position.” (That sounds like Discover, one of our core values as well.)
For that, Kristofer, our Lead Process Engineer for the night shift tribe, won the CEO Award in April, just a month after a successful 6-month probation. “His role is a learning role and he goes beyond scratching the surface and adds value. He is a gracious person and a pleasure to interact with,” Colleen also wrote.
We get hundreds of applicants a week and so we’re very glad Louise has accepted the offer to join us as our Recruitment Concierge. 💙💙💙
We know that searching and applying for jobs can be a time of anxiety and doubt, and we’re doing our best to ease the process. Thanks in advance for exploring our list of open opportunities on GOVA! Once you find the job that suits your skills and interests, please create your profile to apply.

When our teammate Michelle Jane’s birthday was approaching in late May, she had made no plans. But her teammates, clients John B. and Justin B., and Results Coach Benson had other ideas in mind and surprised her with a cake and pizza!
Michelle works as a Customer Operations Specialist with a marketing and design business in California, led by two of the kindest clients anyone could ask for. She celebrated her first Go-VA anniversary in February 2021 and was one of our Values Awardees for 2020!
“I am grateful every day for being part of Go-VA and most especially for working with the JBs!” Michelle wrote. “Thank you all for making my day special despite these crazy times!”
In these virtual events, CEO Fiona Kesby recaps our wins for the month and Founder and CTO Matt Kesby leads us through a session on personal growth, a productive mindset, and leadership. Go Virtual Assistants/Global Office is a managed operations business based in
Cebu, Philippines that connects growth-stage SMEs from the United States, Australia, and other parts of the world with highly skilled team
