About Brilliant Apples
The company started operations about a year ago and is headed up by founding partners Ana and Sergio Valvert.
Ana and Sergio may have only founded Brilliant Apples about a year ago, but they told me they have more than 20 years of combined experience working with admin tasks.
At the time of writing this, Brilliant Apples did not have a team of assistants. The work is carried out by the owners, Ana and Sergio, so you get to benefit from their vast experience.
They told me their target customers are busy executives. Most of the services and experience Ana and Sergio has is around carrying out administrative tasks for execs, and this is their area of expertise.
They also explained that they are familiar with most of the tools executives use. However, if you do use tools Ana and Sergio are not familiar with, they’ll take the time to learn how to use those tools.
The fact that you’re working directly with Ana and Sergio and they’re willing to learn the tools you use means you’re getting a very personable working relationship.
This is something a lot of other virtual assistant companies are not able to offer. It’s certainly one of the benefits of working with Brilliant Apples if you’re an exec that wants to form a close working relationship with a remote assistant.

Brilliant Apples’ pricing is in the same ballpark as US-based virtual assistant companies. If this is within your budget, I recommend checking out Boldly, Time Etc, and ClearDesk.
