What a bilingual VA handles

One hire, most of your recurring busywork.

A bilingual virtual assistant covers the work that eats your team's day — and does it for customers in either language.

📥

Inbox & calendar

Email triage, scheduling, reminders, meeting prep — your day, managed.

💬

Customer support

Email, chat, and phone support in English and Spanish — tickets resolved, not just logged.

📅

Appointment setting

Outbound and inbound booking, confirmations, and no-show follow-up.

🗂️

Data entry & CRM

Clean records, pipeline updates, order entry — HubSpot, Salesforce, or your stack.

🔎

Research & admin

Lead lists, vendor research, document prep, travel — the long tail of ops.

🧾

Back-office

Invoicing support, expense logging, light bookkeeping, reporting.

Why bilingual + nearshore

The difference between a VA and the right VA.

Truly bilingual

Fluent English and Spanish — verified before you ever see the profile. Serve both customer bases with one hire, no language gap costing you sales.

Your time zone

Contractors across Latin America work U.S. business hours in real time. No 12-hour offshore lag — answers come while you are still at your desk.

Fair cost, no markup

Latin-American cost of living means a strong rate for the contractor and real savings for you — without an agency skimming 50–80% in between.

Vetted before you see them

You review finalists — not a slush pile.

Every contractor clears the same checks before a single profile reaches a client.

Language verification
Spoken + written English and Spanish assessed — not self-reported.
Skills screening
Role-relevant testing: typing speed, tools, support scenarios, accuracy.
Video introduction
A short recorded intro so you see communication style before interviewing.
Identity & references
Identity confirmed and prior work checked. No anonymous profiles.

FAQ

Common questions.

What does a bilingual virtual assistant cost?
You pay the contractor's rate plus a flat, visible 15% platform fee — no hidden agency markup. Rates depend on the role and experience; entry support and admin VAs start lower, specialized roles cost more. Every figure is shown before you hire.
How fast can I have a VA working?
You get a ranked shortlist within 24 hours of posting a role. Most clients interview within a few days and have a contractor working inside the same week.
Are they actually fluent, or just conversational?
Every contractor's English and Spanish is verified — spoken and written — before any profile reaches a client. You also get a recorded video intro, so you hear them before you interview.
What if the VA is not the right fit?
Tell us and we re-match you quickly from the vetted pool. You are never stuck with an assignment you did not choose.
Do I have to handle contracts and payments?
No. The IC contract, weekly payouts, and tax forms (W-8BEN / W-9) are all handled in-platform. You approve hours; we do the rest.
