Minnesota's businesses have high standards for service. A virtual assistant helps you keep them, without stretching your team.
Virtual Assistant gives Minnesota businesses a dedicated virtual assistant from $240 a month, working Central time. You choose the role and the hours, and a US account manager matches you within 1 to 3 business days.
Why Minnesota businesses hire a virtual assistant
Minneapolis and St Paul host major corporate headquarters, finance and medical device companies. Rochester is shaped by Mayo Clinic, and Duluth has its port and tourism. Smaller companies supplying these organizations need to be organized and quick to respond.
The roles Minnesota businesses should hire first
Executive Assistant
Twin Cities leaders hand off calendars, inboxes and meeting prep.
Your calendar reflects your priorities. Meetings get protected, grouped and prepared for, so your best hours go to decisions and not to logistics.
- Manage a complex calendar across time zones
- Gather the reports and documents you will need
- Draft replies and correspondence on your behalf
- Take care of personal tasks that can be done online
Executive assistant packages start at $320 a month for 20 hours. Hire an executive assistant for your Minnesota business.
Medical Virtual Assistant
Practices hand off scheduling, intake and insurance tasks.
Fewer gaps in the schedule. Reminders and quick rescheduling help keep appointments filled.
- Send appointment reminders
- Route prescription refill requests
- Check coverage details through Availity and payer portals
- Check claim status
Assistants do not give medical advice. Clinical decisions stay with your staff. Medical virtual assistant packages start at $300 a month for 20 hours. Hire a medical virtual assistant for your Minnesota business.
Administrative Assistant
Small firms hand off everyday paperwork and follow-up.
Nothing depends on your memory. Every recurring job goes on a written checklist, so it still gets done in your busiest weeks.
- Unsubscribe from clutter and set up filters and folders
- Chase each action item until it is finished
- Format documents, slides and spreadsheets in Google Docs or Microsoft Office
- Prepare purchase orders and follow up with vendors

Why hire your Minnesota assistant from Virtual Assistant
Your assistant works remotely and keeps Central 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.
- Easy to start small: Begin with the inbox and calendar on 20 hours a month, then add more as you see what can come off your plate.
- 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.
