Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if a Virtual Assistant is a good fit for my business?
If you find yourself spending hours on recurring administrative, executive, or back-office tasks instead of strategic work, a Virtual Assistant (VA) could be an excellent fit. VAs free up your time, reduce overhead costs compared to in-house hires, and can step in quickly to handle day-to-day operations. If your calendar is overflowing, your inbox is unmanageable, or you need someone to coordinate meetings and client communications, a VA can provide relief and allow you to focus on growth.
What exactly is a Virtual Assistant, and how can they help me?
A Virtual Assistant is a skilled professional who provides remote support for administrative, executive, or specialized tasks. Depending on your package, a VA can manage your email and calendar, prepare documents, coordinate projects, handle legal filings, and more. By entrusting routine and time-consuming work to a VA, you gain back the bandwidth to focus on high-priority activities—like strategy, client relationships, and scaling your business.
How experienced are your Virtual Assistants?
Our VAs come from diverse backgrounds, ranging from entry-level professionals to seasoned experts in administration, legal support, marketing, and project management. Each team member undergoes a thorough vetting process and receives ongoing training in our systems and best practices. When you choose a package, you’re matched with a VA whose skills and experience align with your specific needs.
How can a Virtual Assistant support my small business growth?
A VA helps you operate more efficiently by taking on essential yet time-intensive tasks—like managing your inbox, scheduling meetings, and maintaining your CRM. This frees you to focus on big-picture goals: developing new offerings, meeting with clients, and exploring growth opportunities. By streamlining your workflows, reducing errors, and maintaining consistency, a VA becomes a strategic partner in your growth journey.
What’s the difference between an Administrative VA, an Executive VA, and a Legal VA?

Administrative VA: Focuses on day-to-day tasks—email management, calendar coordination, data entry, travel arrangements, and basic document editing. Ideal if you need support handling essential operations and organizing your week.

Executive VA: Provides high-level coordination and proactive project management—board support, strategic planning implementation, high-level client communication, report preparation, and priority scheduling. Best for executives, CEOs, and founders who need a proactive partner to manage complex workflows.

Legal VA: Specializes in legal administrative support—contract drafting, due diligence assistance, document preparation, compliance checks, case file management, and CLE tracking. Perfect for attorneys and legal teams who want accuracy, confidentiality, and timely filings.

How do I decide which tasks to delegate to a Virtual Assistant?

Start by listing out all the tasks that pull you away from strategic work. Common tasks to delegate include:

  • Inbox triage and email responses
  • Calendar and meeting coordination Travel planning and itinerary creation
  • Document drafting, editing, and organization
  • Data entry, CRM updates, and database management
  • Research, presentation preparation, and client onboarding
  • Legal filings, contract reviews, and case management

If a task is repetitive, time-consuming, or outside your zone of genius, it’s a great candidate to delegate.
