"My small business has been using Virtual Gurus for over a year now. We thought we needed a fractional EA, but it turned out we needed Social Media. They were supportive and flexible throughout the process."

Why Virtual Gurus

What makes working with us different.

You've already decided onshore is the way. Here's what sets us apart from the rest of the onshore category. The things that shape your day-to-day, your flexibility as you grow, and the impact of who you're choosing to hire.

A human match, not an algorithm

Your dedicated Account Supervisor personally picks the right Guru for you from our Talent Marketplace. If the fit isn't right, we re-match.

One subscription, whole marketplace

Scale up, switch specialties, bring on a new skill set. Your subscription evolves with your business, not the other way around.

Hiring with purpose

Every match creates meaningful work for professionals from traditionally underrepresented communities. Your business grows. Someone else's career does too.

Still thinking

Questions we get a lot.

If yours isn't here, bring it up on the call. We'd rather answer it honestly than write a script.

Are all your virtual assistants actually Canadian?
Yes, if you want one. Our Gurus are Canadian and American, never offshore. Every VA in our Talent Marketplace lives and works in Canada or the US, in your time zone, in fluent English. If you specifically want a Canadian VA, just tell your Account Supervisor on the intake call and that's what you'll get.
How fast can I actually get started?
Most clients are matched with their Guru within 48 hours of their intake meeting with their Account Supervisor. From there, onboarding usually takes a few days. So from first call to productive work, you're looking at roughly a week. Faster than hiring in-house.
What kind of work can a Virtual Gurus VA actually do?
Executive assistance, bookkeeping, admin support, marketing coordination, CRM management, calendar and inbox management, data entry, customer support. The full range. Some of our Gurus have niche skills like legal admin or project coordination. Tell us what you need and we'll match accordingly.
What if the match doesn't work out?
We'll re-match you. Our Account Supervisors stay involved throughout, so if something's off, we step in. No awkward conversations, no lost time. The goal is a long-term fit, not a placement.
Do I have to commit to a long contract?
No. Every subscription is month-to-month. You can add hours, reduce hours, or cancel at any time without penalty.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. Your monthly subscription is your total cost. No recruitment fees, no placement fees, no onboarding charges, no setup costs. Plans start at $799/month, billed in your local currency (CAD for Canadian clients).
How is this different from hiring a freelancer on Upwork or Fiverr?
Freelancer marketplaces put the work of vetting, managing and backfilling on you. We do all of that. Every Guru is pre-vetted. Our Account Supervisors handle matching, onboarding support and issue resolution. If your Guru is sick or on vacation, we have backup options. It's a managed service, not a roll-the-dice marketplace.
