Frequently asked questions
Questions Canadian businesses ask us
How much does a virtual assistant cost in Canada?
A Canada-based freelance VA typically charges $25–45 per hour; US-based assistants average $27/hour. VBC North’s managed virtual assistants cost $799/month for 80 hours (about $10/hour) or $1,299/month for 160 hours, with supervision, backup and replacement included.
Where are your virtual assistants based?
Our assistants work from managed delivery centres in India and the Philippines and keep Canadian business hours (EST or PST). Every account is managed from Toronto.
Is the assistant dedicated to my business?
Yes. You get the same named person every day, not a rotating pool. If they’re on leave, a cross-trained backup who has shadowed your account steps in.
What if it isn’t working out?
Tell your account lead. We’ll coach, re-brief, or replace at no charge, and you can cancel with 30 days’ notice. New clients also get a 30-day satisfaction window.
Can a virtual assistant do bookkeeping for a Canadian company?
Yes — our bookkeeping VAs work in QuickBooks Online, Xero and Wave, handle HST-ready month-end packages and work to your accountant’s instructions. They don’t replace a CPA for filings or advice.
