Good questions.
Straight answers.

An agreed scope can include inbox organization, calendar coordination, CRM updates, inquiry follow ups, document preparation, content scheduling, and recurring administration. We begin with your existing process, define the decisions you retain, and confirm what requires specialist knowledge or separate scoping.

List recurring tasks, how often they occur, the instructions available, and an initial estimate of time needed. Twenty hours can be a focused starting scope; larger plans allow more purchased task time. No plan guarantees a fixed number of outputs. Review actual hours and workload before expanding.

The main differences are the assistant’s work location and the package price. Global plans start at $399 for 20 hours and U.S. based plans at $799 for 20 hours. Both include a U.S. point of contact and defined account oversight. We confirm working hours, responsibilities, permitted access, and staffing in the proposal.

A start date is confirmed after scope, staffing availability, the agreement, payment, and required access are arranged. We do not promise immediate placement or a fixed onboarding deadline. The first month starts with a bounded kickoff and the initial handoff of up to two agreed tasks.

Bring the first two task instructions, an approved example of completed work, the relevant systems, the working schedule, an escalation contact, and the decisions you want to approve. Use individual accounts and limited permissions. Share credentials through an agreed password manager rather than the website inquiry form.

Monthly VA plans include weekly activity and hours summaries. Agree on the task tracker and update rhythm at kickoff. Review completed work, pending decisions, hours used, and upcoming priorities. When measuring improvement, establish your starting point and distinguish time spent from business results.

Yes, within written responsibilities and approval rules. Define approved templates, available meeting windows, protected time, and exceptions. Messages, bookings, purchases, or commitments outside that authority should be escalated before action.

Before work begins, agree on confidentiality expectations, any written nondisclosure arrangements, permitted information access, approved contacts, and communication channels. Private schedules, household details, identities, and locations should only be shared as needed for authorized tasks. Confirm return or removal of access when the engagement ends.

Any proposed use should first be discussed and approved, including the tool, permitted information, human review, and who authorizes final actions. A VA plan does not automatically authorize uploading confidential information to AI tools or starting an automation project. Paid AI consulting packages are not currently available.

We can discuss both needs in one discovery call, but each delivery arrangement needs a clear scope, schedule, and pricing. Monthly VA package hours cover remote work. Physical errands, local appointments, travel, and private client engagements are separately quoted; staffing and availability must be confirmed.

For in person services, the proposal defines the service location, working hours, travel arrangements, approved expenses, and spending authority. New costs or changes to vendor scope come back for approval. In person services in Nevada and California do not inherit the monthly virtual assistant package rates.
