Ann Arbor combines university research with a strong startup scene. A virtual assistant helps founders and practices cut down on admin.
Virtual Assistant gives Ann Arbor businesses a dedicated virtual assistant from $300 a month, working Eastern time. You choose the role and the hours, and a US account manager matches you within 1 to 3 business days.
Why Ann Arbor businesses hire a virtual assistant
The University of Michigan and Michigan Medicine are huge employers, and they spin off companies in mobility, software and life sciences. Founders are often technical and would much rather not run the office.
The roles Ann Arbor businesses should hire first
Executive Assistant
Founders can hand off scheduling and investor logistics.
Your calendar reflects your priorities. Meetings get protected, grouped and prepared for, so your best hours go to decisions and not to logistics.
- Screen meeting requests against your priorities

Why hire your Ann Arbor assistant from Virtual Assistant
Your assistant works remotely and keeps Eastern time business hours, so your day and theirs line up. You get a person who learns your business, with a team behind them when something needs fixing.
- Experience with senior leaders: Choose a Senior Specialist with 5+ years of experience, or a US-Based Specialist when your role calls for one.
- Works in your EHR: Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, DrChrono, Tebra, SimplePractice, Dentrix and more.
- Careful with your data: Your assistant follows your rules, uses business plans that do not train on your data where available, and never pastes passwords or client records into AI tools.
- A dedicated assistant: You work with one person who learns your business, not whoever is free in a shared pool.
- Start in 1 to 3 business days: Most clients are matched within 1 to 3 business days of payment, or within 24 hours with rush onboarding.
- NDA and secure access: Every assistant signs an NDA, and logins go through a secure vault, never by email.
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.
