The real problem
You’re Not Looking for a Virtual Assistant
The issue is not simply that more work exists. The issue is that the business no longer has enough operational capacity to support its continued growth.
Build the Operational Capacity to Scale With Confidence
If running your business feels harder than growing it, you’re not alone. Growth creates operational complexity. We help businesses build the dependable operational support they need to scale with confidence.
- Inbox overload
- Slow customer response times
- Missed follow-ups
- Projects become harder to organize
- Constant interruptions
- Team members wearing multiple hats
- Administrative backlog
- Calendar chaos

Why hourly, not revenue share
At $11 an hour, you know exactly what you’re paying every month.
Some providers price this as a revenue share instead of a flat rate. The problem with that model is simple: as your business grows, so does the cost. You end up paying more for the same work just because you’re succeeding.
Hourly pricing means the cost stays flat however much your business grows. That number doesn’t rise as your revenue does.
For comparison, a typical in-house hire costs $17 to $20 or more an hour, and that is before payroll taxes, benefits and overhead.
Managed, not just matched

The Cost of Staying Stretched
In our experience working with founder-led businesses, operating without dependable support costs more than most owners expect. Published research points the same way.
36%
Research suggests business owners spend about 36% of their working week on admin tasks, roughly 16 hours of a 45.5-hour week.
50–200%
Replacing an employee can cost from one-half to two times their annual salary, and that is widely described as a conservative estimate.
33%
In one study of 143 Inc. 500 CEOs, those who scored high on delegation generated 33% more revenue: $8 million against $6 million.
The longer operational bottlenecks remain, the more expensive they become. Building dependable operational support isn’t just about reducing workload. It’s about creating the capacity to keep growing.

Questions before you book
Why hourly, not revenue share?
Some providers price this as a revenue share instead of a flat rate. The problem with that model is simple: as your business grows, so does the cost, and you end up paying more for the same work just because you’re succeeding. Hourly pricing means the cost stays flat regardless of how much your business grows. At $11 an hour, you know exactly what you’re paying every month, and that number doesn’t rise as your revenue does.
How quickly can I get started?
Most engagements begin within 1 to 3 business days of your discovery call, depending on your business, once we’ve matched you with the right professional. The discovery call is where we plan the role, so there is no lengthy setup before work can begin.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Oxpier virtual assistants are pay as you go with no long-term contract, so you are never locked in. Every engagement also begins with a free Confidence Trial, which lets you see how the working relationship feels before you commit to anything longer. Rates start from $11 an hour.
What if I’ve never worked with a virtual assistant before?
We guide you through the whole process, from figuring out what to delegate first to structured onboarding. You don’t need to have done this before. After placement we stay involved with ongoing management, so you are not left to supervise everything alone.
What kinds of tasks can a virtual assistant handle?
Recurring administrative and coordination tasks such as email management, scheduling, research, CRM updates, document preparation, vendor communication, travel coordination and basic bookkeeping support. Virtual assistants can also take and make phone calls, handle customer service, and book appointments and follow up on leads.
What is the Confidence Trial?
The Confidence Trial is a free trial at the start of the engagement, with the length agreed with you on the discovery call. It lets you experience our approach and your matched virtual assistant before making a longer-term commitment, so you can build confidence before making a hiring decision. Because you pay as you go with no long-term contract, you are never locked in.
Do you have virtual assistants for healthcare practices?
Yes. Our medical virtual assistants handle scheduling, patient intake, insurance verification and billing support around the clinical record, and work with platforms such as athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen Healthcare, AdvancedMD and Akute Health.
How is this different from hiring through a recruiter?
A recruiter introduces a candidate and steps back. We stay involved as your managed staffing partner, through discovery and role planning, structured onboarding, and ongoing management after placement, so you’re not left managing everything alone.
