How much does it cost?

Because each assignment and partnering relationship is unique, and your VA excels in a diverse range of core competencies, we determine cost after a thorough consultation and evaluation of your needs. Training and start-up expenses are literally non-existent and you only pay for the actual time worked. Imagine, no workers' comp, vacation, office equipment, or other expenses associated with hiring, training and retraining of temp agency personnel, unqualified staffers, or hiring a full-time on-site assistant.
