Why we exist
Small businesses and nonprofits run on lean teams. The day-to-day work piles up, the email backlog grows, the social channels go quiet, and the projects you really wanted to launch this quarter slip into next. That is where we come in.
Clarkston Virtual Business Solutions is a Mid Missouri firm built to support owners and operators across the region. We serve businesses from Jefferson City to the Lake of the Ozarks, plus clients virtually across the country. Our team brings 20+ years of business management and administrative support experience, certified expertise in marketing and operations, and a flat-fee, time-as-worked engagement model designed to fit how small businesses actually buy.
You pay only for the time we spend on your work. No retainers, no benefits costs, no payment for downtime. Every engagement is custom-scoped, in writing, before the work starts.
What we do
Custom packages quoted in writing for every engagement. Public starting prices listed where we have them.

About us
Family-owned. 20+ years of experience.
Chris and Shannon Clarkston founded Clarkston Virtual Business Solutions to bring serious business support to small businesses and nonprofits across Mid Missouri. They are a married couple raising their boys at home, and the company is built on the values that hold their family together: their faith in Jesus, integrity, and treating other people's businesses the way they would want their own treated.
Their credentials run deep. Shannon holds a Psychology degree, teaching certifications, and Meta-certified training in social media marketing and advertising. Her background in how people learn and how decisions get made shapes every piece of content they produce. Chris holds a Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems and brings more than 20 years of business management and administrative support experience working with companies and nonprofits.
Chris and Shannon handle most of the work themselves, hands-on. For projects that call for specialized technical expertise (web design, advertising campaigns, custom software, mobile apps), they bring in trusted partners they have personally vetted. The goal is simple: be the honest, on-call business partner that small businesses and nonprofits deserve.
