FAQs – Everything You Need to Know

Straight answers — no fluff. If something's still unclear after reading, just book a call and ask us directly.

1. What exactly does a Virtual Assistant do?

A VA handles the tasks that are real and necessary but don't need to be done by you. That includes things like inbox and calendar management, client communications, content scheduling, research, data entry, project coordination, social media, and more. Think of it as having an extra set of capable hands — minus the office space, the onboarding headache, and the full-time salary.

2. How do I know if I'm ready for a VA?

Honest answer: if you're asking, you probably are. The clearest signs are spending too much time on tasks that don't move the needle, constantly putting off things you know need to get done, or feeling like your business is running you instead of the other way around. A VA doesn't just save you time — it gives you back the mental space to actually think and grow.

3. How do I get started?

Book a free 30-minute discovery call — that's it. No forms to fill out beforehand, no commitment required. We'll talk about your business, what you need, and whether we're the right fit. Most clients go from that first call to having an assistant in place within a week.

4. What types of businesses do you work with?

Solopreneurs, small teams, growing businesses, service providers, e-commerce brands, consultants, real estate professionals — if you have tasks that need doing and not enough hours in the day, we can help. We've worked across industries including finance, operations, construction, retail, and more. The common thread is clients who value their time and want support they can actually trust.

5. Can I choose my assistant?

You don't pick from a catalogue — we do the matching for you, which is actually the point. Based on your discovery call, we select 2–3 candidates who fit your working style, timezone, tools, and needs. You then meet each one and make the final call. It's less like browsing resumes and more like being introduced to someone we've already vetted on your behalf.

6. What if the match isn't right?

We stand behind every match we make. If your assistant isn't the right fit within the first 21 days, we replace them — no questions asked, no extra cost, no awkward conversations. We'd rather get it right than leave you stuck with the wrong person. Beyond the 21 days, if something shifts in your needs or the working relationship, just tell us and we'll work it out together.

7. How do I communicate with my assistant?

However works best for you. Email, Slack, WhatsApp, Zoom, Asana, Notion — your assistant adapts to your existing tools and communication style. You don't need to learn a new system or change how you work. We fit into your workflow, not the other way around.

8. Is there a minimum commitment?

Each plan has a minimum number of monthly hours, but there's no long-term contract. Month to month, scale up when you need more, scale back when you don't. We're not interested in locking you in — we'd rather earn your business every month by actually being worth it.

9. What if I need more hours than my plan includes?

Just let us know — adding extra hours or upgrading your plan is straightforward. We'd rather you have what you need than feel constrained by a package. Reach out to us directly and we'll sort it out the same day.

10. What are specialized assistants and do I need one?

Most clients do great with our standard VAs. But if your work involves legal document review, technical documentation, engineering support, architectural coordination, or financial analysis — a standard admin VA isn't the right call. Our specialized assistants have professional backgrounds in these fields and can step in where a general VA wouldn't have the depth. Not sure which you need? Tell us what you're working on and we'll tell you honestly.

11. I've hired a VA before and it didn't work out. Why would this be different?

We hear this a lot. Usually the problem wasn't the VA — it was the match. Wrong skills, wrong timezone, wrong communication style, or no real onboarding process. We built PDA specifically to fix that. We take the time to understand how you work before we place anyone, we personally vet every assistant, we do a proper onboarding, and we check in throughout. And if it still isn't right within 21 days, we replace them — no questions asked. We'd rather earn your trust back than overpromise.

12. How do you handle confidentiality and data security?

Confidentiality is non-negotiable for us. All assistants sign NDAs before working with any client. We take data handling seriously — your business information, client details, and internal processes stay exactly where they belong. If your work involves sensitive financial, legal, or operational data and you have specific confidentiality requirements, bring them up on the discovery call and we'll make sure we're aligned before anything starts.

Still have a question that's not on here?

Good — specific questions usually mean you're seriously considering it. Book a free 30-minute call and ask us anything. No question is too detailed, too basic, or too "I'm not sure if this is something you do."
