Waco's visitors come for Magnolia and its students come for Baylor, and local businesses are busy serving both. A virtual assistant helps you handle it all.
Virtual Assistant gives Waco 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 hire your Waco 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.
- Know what you get: A Growth package typically covers 12 to 20 designed posts a month, plus community replies.
- Clear handoffs: When a case needs you, it arrives with a summary, so you do not have to read the whole conversation.
- They learn how you work: Your account manager turns your routine into a written checklist on the kickoff call, so you explain each job once.
- 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.
- 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 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

- 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
