FAQ

Pricing questions

What exactly is a virtual assistant?

A professional who works for you remotely, on your tasks, in your tools: email, calendar, documents, CRM and so on. You get a set number of hours each month for a flat fee.

Who will my assistant be?

An experienced remote assistant at the level you choose (Essential, Professional or Elite), assigned to your account and managed by our team. The same assistant works on your tasks, so they learn how your business runs.

Do I deal with the assistant directly?

No, and that's the point. You deal only with us. Your assistant works behind the scenes, and we handle the managing, checking and follow-up, so you never have to supervise anyone.

What if I'm not happy?

If you're not happy in your first 14 days, we'll replace your assistant at no cost, or refund the unused part of your first month. Your choice.

What is the founding-client offer?

Our first clients get 15% off your first 3 months on any plan, applied automatically at checkout, in exchange for an honest review once they're happy. After that, the plan continues at the regular price, and that price is locked in for as long as you stay with us, even if our prices go up later. Spots are limited.

Is there a contract?

No long-term contract. Plans run month to month, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice.

How do I pay?

Monthly in advance, in US dollars, by invoice. There is no setup fee.

How soon can my assistant start?

We aim to match you within 5 business days of your first payment and completed onboarding form.

What hours do they work?

The days and hours you agree with us at onboarding, for example Monday to Friday, 9am to 1pm in your time zone.

How do I send tasks and get updates?

Through your private client portal. Log in, describe the task, attach any files and set a due date. Every update and question appears on that task, and we email you too. You can also message us on WhatsApp or email for anything quick.

Can you handle tasks that repeat every week or month?

Yes. Set them up once in your portal (for example, a weekly report every Monday or invoice reminders on the 1st) and we create and complete them on schedule. You can pause or change them any time.

Can my assistant manage my calendar?

Yes. You share your Google, Outlook or Apple calendar with our assistant account, and we book, move and confirm meetings right in your own calendar. You can remove access at any time. Your task due dates can also show in your calendar automatically.

What if I don't use all my hours?

Unused hours don't roll over to the next month, so choose the plan closest to what you need. You can change plans as you go.

Can I get extra hours in a busy month?

Yes. With your approval, extra hours are billed at your plan's hourly rate on your next payment.

Can I change plans?

Upgrades start from your next billing month (or sooner if we can arrange it). Downgrades need 30 days' notice.

What if my assistant isn't the right fit?

Tell us and we'll arrange a replacement, usually within 5 business days, at no extra cost.

Is my business information safe?

Confidentiality is part of our Terms of Service. You only give access to the accounts each task needs, and we recommend sharing logins through a password manager so you stay in control.

What won't an assistant do?

Assistants don't give legal, tax or financial advice, handle your money, or make payments for you unless we both agree in writing.
