Why hire your Gilbert assistant from Virtual Assistant
Your assistant works remotely and keeps Mountain 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.
- 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.
- You approve before it posts: The calendar comes to you first, so nothing goes out that does not sound like you.
- Cover the hours you need: Add evening and weekend coverage or a US business phone number, or choose a full-time shift.
- 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 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.
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.
How to get started this week
- Build your package: choose a role, your hours and an experience level, and see your price straight away
- Pay your itemized invoice by card or crypto
- Your US account manager matches you within 1 to 3 business days and runs your kickoff call
- Your assistant starts on a written checklist of your first tasks for your Gilbert business
