Why hire your Olathe 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.
- Cover the hours you need: Add evening and weekend coverage or a US business phone number, or choose a full-time shift.
- 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.
- Works alongside your CPA: Your CPA or enrolled agent gets exactly what they need, with the books kept ready all year.
- NDA and secure access: Every assistant signs an NDA, and logins go through a secure vault, never by email.
- 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.
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.
