Why hire your Springfield 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.
- Your voice, your policies: Your assistant works from your scripts and rules, so customers hear your business and not an outside call center.
- Works in your EHR: Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, DrChrono, Tebra, SimplePractice, Dentrix and more.
- You approve the money: Your assistant prepares bills and payroll for you, and you keep control of what gets paid.
- 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.
