Ontario's airport and warehouses put it at the center of West Coast freight. A virtual assistant keeps the paperwork flowing for local firms.
Virtual Assistant gives Ontario businesses a dedicated virtual assistant from $200 a month, working Pacific time. You choose the role and the hours, and a US account manager matches you within 1 to 3 business days.
Why Ontario businesses hire a virtual assistant
UPS and other cargo operators at Ontario International, plus large distribution centers, shape the local economy. Suppliers and freight brokers handle a constant stream of documents, along with customers who need status updates.

Why hire your Ontario assistant from Virtual Assistant
Your assistant works remotely and keeps Pacific 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.
- They learn how you work: Your account manager turns your routine into a written checklist on the kickoff call, so you explain each job once.
- Cover the hours you need: Add evening and weekend coverage or a US business phone number, or choose a full-time shift.
- Monthly or one-time: Order a one-time cleanup with a confirmed estimate, or keep someone on a monthly package.
- 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.
How to get started this week

- Your US account manager matches you within 1 to 3 business days and runs your kickoff call
