Tempe is young, tech-minded and full of new companies. A virtual assistant is a simple way to get help without taking on another big expense.
Virtual Assistant gives Tempe businesses a dedicated virtual assistant from $280 a month, working Mountain time. You choose the role and the hours, and a US account manager matches you within 1 to 3 business days.
Why Tempe businesses hire a virtual assistant
Arizona State University, startups and corporate offices such as State Farm's large campus share the city. Student housing is busy, and early-stage companies must keep their spending careful.

Why hire your Tempe 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.
- Experience with senior leaders: Choose a Senior Specialist with 5+ years of experience, or a US-Based Specialist when your role calls for one.
- Follows your state's checklists: Your assistant works from the checklists and deadlines in your state's contracts.
- Design and scheduling together: One person handles the plan, the graphics, the posting and the replies, so you only give one set of instructions.
- 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 US account manager: One person matches you, runs your kickoff call and stays your contact if anything needs fixing.
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.
