Michigan knows how to get work done. A virtual assistant brings that same focus to your office work, so you can stay on the factory floor or with customers.
Virtual Assistant gives Michigan businesses a dedicated virtual assistant from $240 a month, working Eastern time. You choose the role and the hours, and a US account manager matches you within 1 to 3 business days.
Why Michigan businesses hire a virtual assistant
Detroit and its suburbs are built around the auto industry and its suppliers. Grand Rapids adds furniture, healthcare and manufacturing, and Ann Arbor has the university and tech firms. Suppliers and small companies face plenty of paperwork, purchase orders and customer follow-up.
The roles Michigan businesses should hire first
Administrative Assistant
Suppliers and manufacturers hand off purchase orders, documents and vendor follow-up.
Small tasks stop piling up. Renewals, forms, follow-ups and filing get done on a schedule instead of waiting for a free afternoon that never comes.

Why hire your Michigan 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.
- You keep control of your accounts: Delegated email access and a password vault mean you never hand over your main password.
- You approve the money: Your assistant prepares bills and payroll for you, and you keep control of what gets paid.
- Serious call volume: A full-time cold caller typically makes 150 to 300 dials a day, depending on your list and dialer.
- 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.
