What a normal week looks like with an assistant
Your assistant sorts your inbox, protects your calendar, prepares briefs for meetings, books travel and tracks commitments. Personal tasks that can be done online get handled too, and you end your week with fewer open loops.

Why hire your assistant from Virtual Assistant
Your assistant works remotely and keeps the business hours of your time zone. You get a person who learns your business, with a team behind them when something needs fixing.
- Built for confidential work: An NDA, separate logins and a secure vault protect your board, investor and personal information.
- No big commitment: Start with a small monthly package or a block of pay-as-you-go hours.
- We start from where you are: Never used AI? Your assistant sets up your accounts and walks you through it step by step.
- A US account manager: One person matches you, runs your kickoff call and stays your contact if anything needs fixing.
- Free replacement: If your assistant is not the right fit, we match you with a different one at no extra cost.
- Clear prices, no lock-in: See your exact price before you order. Month-to-month packages can be cancelled any time, and unused hours roll over within your package limit.
A virtual assistant or an in-house hire?
An in-house hire makes sense when the job needs someone physically on site. For work done on a screen or a phone, a virtual assistant usually costs far less, because you pay only for working hours, with no recruiting, desk, equipment or payroll taxes to arrange. You can also start with 20 hours a month and grow, instead of committing to a full-time salary before you know how much work there is.
