Need a VA is a great platform for virtual assistants like myself to get discovered! Finding the right place to showcase my skills and expertise can be challenging, but this website makes it easy. It was so simple to set up my profile and get my listing up and running, and the customer service has been amazing from the moment I signed up. I also love that the site was created by a virtual assistant who truly understand what we need in a directory. I would definitely recommend to other VA’s out there!

Lynsey Cook – Founder of the Need a VA Directory
Lynsey Cook is a seasoned Virtual Assistant with a passion for empowering other VAs to thrive in the industry. She began her journey as a VA at the start of the pandemic, turning a side hustle into a successful full-time business. Over the years, Lynsey has built a strong team of VAs and gained invaluable experience navigating the freelance world—facing the challenges of inconsistent client demand, unfair competition, and undervaluation of VA services.
Frustrated by the lack of effective platforms for Virtual Assistants to advertise their skills, Lynsey created the Need a VA Directory. Her vision was to offer a dedicated space for VAs to showcase their talents, connect with quality clients, and eliminate the hassles of traditional social media marketing and online job boards. The directory reflects Lynsey’s commitment to helping VAs gain visibility, promote fair industry rates, and build sustainable businesses.
With the Need a VA Directory, Lynsey continues to advocate for VAs across the UK, providing them with the tools and opportunities to succeed on their own terms.

If you had told me five years ago that I would be standing on stage in front of members of the AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) giving a presentation about Virtual Assistants, I would have laughed.
