Companies save $65,000+ per year when they use a virtual assistant instead of hiring someone full-time in their office.
Here is why thousands of businesses are making the switch to remote support.
We built Hubstaff because we were managing remote teams and had no idea what anyone was actually working on. The companies that succeed with remote work are the ones that combine trust with transparency, using time tracking not as surveillance but as a tool that helps everyone stay accountable and aligned.

The Hidden Cost Of DIY Project Management
Business owners spend 16 hours per week just tracking what their team is doing.
That means you lose 832 hours per year on tasks someone else could handle.
Most companies miss 40% of their productivity goals because no one is watching the details.
Without proper tracking, projects run 23% over budget and take twice as long to finish.

A Day In The Life Of Your Virtual Assistant
Your assistant starts each morning by checking all active projects.
They review time logs from yesterday and flag any issues that need your attention.
Throughout the day, they update project status and send reminders to team members.
By evening, you receive a summary report showing exactly what got done and what needs focus tomorrow.
Set up daily check-in times with your assistant so you always know project status without having to ask.
