Client area access = This is a web panel where you can check on what tasks are being worked on, amount of time left on your plan, get file backups, etc.
Rollover = Unused minutes, up to 15% of your total plan, are applied to the next month.
Precision billing = Work is billed precisely - to the minute. Other virtual assistants round up and bill their clients in increments of 5, 10, or even 15 minutes even if the task took two minutes. |

Frequently asked questions:
Will I be speaking to a different person every time I call?
No, you will have a single point of contact here. Your virtual assistant will give you their phone extension, their IM names, and an email address you can reach them at. Having one person here that you interface with is critical as it allows your virtual assistant to get to know you and your preferences over time.
Which plan is best for me?
Don't worry about it too much. We can make sure you get into the plan that best fits your needs. If you were to sign up for Plan 80, but realize halfway through the first month that you aren't going to use all your hours, you could just let us know and we will drop you down to a different plan. We are very flexible and want you to be on the plan that makes the most sense.
Is there a commitment or contract?
No. You are billed month to month and you can cancel at any time. Once you cancel, you will not be billed. There is no cancellation fee or penalty of any kind.
How does the free trial work?
During your free trial, you are allotted one quarter of the hours of the monthly plan that you sign up for. For example, if you sign up for plan 40, during your free trial you will have 10 free hours to use. When your free trial is over, your plan will be refreshed to 40 hours and all time used after that date will count toward your monthly plan.
Are there any hidden or additional costs?
There are no hidden costs, no activation fees, additional taxes, or cancellation fees. You will be billed for your monthly plan and nothing more. For certain tasks, we will have to charge for materials. For instance, let's say you want us to create and send a mailing to your customer list. We would bill you for the envelopes, the postage, and the paper. We will let you know when you assign the task whether there will be material charges so there won't be any surprises.
What if I go over the time allotted by my monthly plan?
When you use up your plan, you have several options and you decide at that point what to do. You can move up to the next highest plan, have us stop working until you next billing cycle, or continue working at an hourly rate of $23/hour. We would love to be able to offer unlimited flexibility but if we did that it would be impossible to budget our time and we wouldn't be able to provide the speedy, thorough service that we do now. You will be notified when you go over your plan and given the option to have us continue working or stop working until your plan refreshes on your next billing cycle.
Compared to U.S. based virtual assistants, why are your rates so cheap?
U.S. based virtual assistants typically work from home by themselves. Because we are a company and not a single individual, costs are spread out and absorbed. It isn't necessary to make a huge profit every hour that we work like it would be for an individual.
Compared to foreign virtual assistants, why are your rates so expensive?
Because we only hire people who live in Charleston, SC (so that they can come work at our office), we need to pay our employees more than foreign workers are willing to work for. The quality of our work and the unique strengths of our service justify the cost difference.
When will I be billed?
Your credit card will be billed every 30 days starting on the last day of your free trial. In other words, if you sign up today, your credit card will not be billed until a week from now. If you decide during that time that the service is not for you, just let us know and you will never be billed at all.
How do I get started?
To begin, you simply go through our sign up process - in the right-hand column of the product matrix above there is a yellow/orange "Sign Up >" link next to each plan. Simply decide which plan you would like to have and then follow the steps. After signing up, you will be redirected to a short questionnaire that will ask basic questions about your preferences and the work you have for us. After submitting that, you will be redirected to a short "getting started" guide that will give more detailed information about how to get started with your new virtual assistant.
Do you offer preferred rates for non-profits and organizations and individuals involved with education?
Yes, we do. Please send us an email telling us about your organization and the kind of work you would like us to do for you and we will get back to you with a rate.
