Why Providence businesses hire a virtual assistant
Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design, hospitals and a strong restaurant scene shape the city. Many firms are small, and owners often handle most of the admin on top of serving customers.

Why hire your Providence 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.
- 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 own the work: Everything your assistant creates for you is yours once the invoice is paid.
- Works in your EHR: Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, DrChrono, Tebra, SimplePractice, Dentrix and more.
- 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.
