About OkayRelax

OkayRelax is a virtual assistant company based in the USA. We connect busy professionals and growing businesses with skilled, English-speaking virtual assistants. Since 2015, we have helped clients around the world save time so they can focus on what matters most. We are selective about who we hire — our acceptance rate is very low — because we believe our clients deserve the best. We are more than a service. We are a team that cares about doing great work, supporting each other, and making a positive impact.
