What admin & virtual assistant staffing covers
Inbox and calendar management
Triaging email, prioritizing threads that need a response, scheduling across timezones, and keeping your calendar clean with buffer blocks and travel time baked in.
Travel and expense coordination
Booking flights, hotels, and ground transport, reconciling receipts in Expensify or Ramp, and building detailed itineraries for complex multi-leg trips.
Research and data entry
Vendor research, prospect enrichment, CRM hygiene, spreadsheet building, and structured data entry across Airtable, Notion, Google Sheets, and your CRM.
Project and ops support
Running point on recurring ops tasks, chasing down status updates across teams, prepping meeting agendas and notes, and keeping project trackers honest.
Why teams pick offshore for admin & virtual assistant
Buy back 15-25 hours a week
The work founders and executives actually hate — calendar, inbox, receipts, research — moves off your plate inside the first two weeks.
Full-time dedicated, not a shared pool
Your VA works your hours, learns your preferences, and sticks around long-term. No rotating bench, no context resets every Monday.
Screened on your actual stack
We test candidates on Gmail, Notion, HubSpot, Airtable, or whatever your team runs on before you interview them — so ramp is days, not weeks.
60-75% less than a US hire
A full-time offshore executive assistant runs $1,000-$1,800/month loaded — roughly a third of a comparable US-based EA with the same seniority.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a VA and an executive assistant?
A virtual assistant handles tactical work across any function — data entry, research, scheduling, light admin. An executive assistant is a dedicated right-hand to a single exec or founder, running their calendar, communications, and travel at a higher seniority and judgment level. We staff both tiers.
Can one VA support multiple people on my team?
Yes, but we recommend clear scope boundaries. A single full-time VA can comfortably support 2-3 light users or one heavy user. Past that, you will feel the cracks and should bring on a second placement.
How much timezone overlap will I get?
We guarantee at least 4 hours of overlap with your core working hours. Most VAs work a shifted schedule — for a US-based exec, that usually means they are online from mid-morning through early evening Eastern or Pacific time.
How fast can I onboard a VA?
Kickoff to first day is about two weeks. You get a shortlist of 3 pre-vetted candidates within 5 business days of your intake call, interview on your schedule, and onboard the pick the following week.
