Mid Missouri · Working Nationally

A small business virtual assistant who actually knows small business.

Virtual assistance for small businesses and nonprofits. Hands-on administrative, operational, and client-facing support, backed by 20+ years of business management experience.

Based in Mid Missouri, working virtually with clients across the country. Pay only for the time we work on your business.

Why a small business virtual assistant pays for itself

The math is simple.

If the owner of a small business spends ten hours a week on inbox triage, scheduling, invoicing, and follow-ups, that is ten hours not spent selling, building, or serving customers. The hours come back when those tasks shift to a virtual assistant who handles them faster and at a fraction of an in-house hire.

A small business virtual assistant from Clarkston Virtual Business Solutions costs less than a part-time employee, with no benefits, no retainer, and no payment for downtime. Engagements are flat-fee or hourly starting at $20, scoped to your specific needs in writing before the work starts.

Most of our clients pay for between five and twenty hours a month and find that those hours quietly make a real difference in what the business can take on.

FAQ

Common questions about hiring a small business virtual assistant.

How much does a small business virtual assistant cost?

Our packages start at $20 per hour. The exact monthly cost depends on how many hours of help you need. Most small businesses we work with run between five and twenty hours per month, scoped in writing before any work begins.

Are you a US-based virtual assistant?

Yes. We are based in Mid Missouri, working from our home office. You communicate in your native time zone with someone who answers the phone and writes in clean English.

What is the discovery call?

A short, free 30-minute call where you describe what is on your plate and we ask the questions we need to write you a useful proposal. No pressure to commit. Many calls end with us recommending a smaller starting scope than you expected.

How quickly can we get started?

Usually within a few days of the discovery call. We outline scope, you sign a short engagement letter, and we begin. For urgent ramp-ups (a launch, an event, a season), let us know on the call and we will plan accordingly.
