Virginia's contractors and military-connected firms live by paperwork and deadlines. A virtual assistant keeps them under control.
Virtual Assistant gives Virginia 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 Virginia businesses hire a virtual assistant
Northern Virginia is a center for government contractors and technology, with Reston, Arlington and Fairfax in its core. Hampton Roads has shipbuilding and the Navy, and Richmond brings finance, law and state government. Proposals, timesheets and compliance logs are part of daily life.

Why hire your Virginia 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.
- Experience with senior leaders: Choose a Senior Specialist with 5+ years of experience, or a US-Based Specialist when your role calls for one.
- Old books can be fixed: Start with a one-time cleanup project, then use a monthly package to keep everything current.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
