Why firms need help now

Running a small accounting firm means you spend too many hours on invoices and admin instead of growing your client base.

• invoices pile up and some go out late or never get sent
• chasing overdue payments takes time you do not have
• data entry in FreshBooks is slow and full of small errors
• clients wait too long for expense reports and receipts
• you cannot focus on billable work because admin keeps growing

A FreshBooks virtual assistant lifts the load. You keep the in-house team for the high-value work. The remote helper takes on the rest.

Why we only offer full-time agents

Stealth Agents only offers full-time agents. Studies of 1,000+ part-time hires show part-time workers leave within 2 to 3 weeks, cannot be sourced with specialized skills, and waste training hours. We invest in full-time helpers so you get someone who learns your business and stays. Read why.

What a founder says about hiring a FreshBooks VA

A FreshBooks virtual assistant handles the daily billing work so the firm owner can focus on clients. We see owners save 15 or more hours a week once they stop doing invoices and follow-ups by hand. That time goes back into work that actually earns money.
