Stamford's financial firms and media companies expect a lot. A virtual assistant helps smaller firms and leaders keep up, with discretion.

Why Stamford businesses hire a virtual assistant

Why hire your Stamford 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.
- You keep control of your accounts: Delegated email access and a password vault mean you never hand over your main password.
- Clear handoffs: When a case needs you, it arrives with a summary, so you do not have to read the whole conversation.
- 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.
