The Problems Holding You Back
Every hour spent on tasks you could delegate is an hour not spent growing your business. Here is what we hear most.
Buried in Admin Work
You're answering emails, scheduling meetings, and updating spreadsheets instead of running your business. High-value hours disappear into low-value tasks every single day.
Can't Afford a Full-Time Employee
A US-based full-time admin costs $40,000-60,000/year in salary alone, plus benefits and overhead. You need the help but not the fixed cost.
Inconsistent Output From Freelancers
Freelance platforms promise flexibility but deliver unreliable results. Without vetting, training, and management, independent freelancers rarely match the consistency of a dedicated team member.
Scaling Is Stuck Behind Manual Work
Your growth is limited by how many hours you personally have. Every task you can't delegate is a ceiling on your business.
No Time to Hire or Train
Finding, interviewing, and onboarding takes weeks. You need help now, not after a month-long hiring process.
That's where Stealth Agents comes in. We handle the work so you can focus on growth.
Scope of Work
What Your VA Handles
Stealth Agents virtual assistants cover 36+ specialized business functions including administrative support, customer service, bookkeeping, and lead generation. Pre-vetted from the top 1% of applicants, dedicated full-time VAs start at $1,600/month - 50-70% less than a comparable US in-house hire - with 48-hour placement.
A virtual assistant (VA) is a remote professional who handles business tasks so you can focus on the work only you can do. From email management to bookkeeping to customer support, VAs provide skilled, on-demand help without the overhead of a full-time employee.

We Get It
Common Concerns, Answered
Is my data secure with a remote VA?
Every Stealth Agent signs a comprehensive NDA before starting. We use enterprise-grade security protocols, encrypted communication channels, and strict access controls. Your data is as safe with us as it is in-house.
What about training and onboarding?
Your dedicated Campaign Manager handles the entire onboarding process. We pre-train your VA on your tools and workflows so they can contribute from day one. Most clients are fully onboarded within 48 hours.
What if it doesn't work out?
We offer a free replacement guarantee and a money-back guarantee. If your VA is not the right fit, we will match you with a new one at no extra cost. There are no long-term contracts, you can scale or pause anytime.
How do I communicate with my VA?
However you prefer: Slack, email, Zoom, phone, or your existing project management tools. Your VA adapts to your workflow, not the other way around. USA timezone coverage means real-time collaboration during your business hours.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
A virtual assistant is a remote professional who provides business support services from a remote location. VAs handle administrative, technical, creative, or specialized tasks assigned by their clients-without being physically present in a client's office.
VAs handle a wide range of tasks depending on their specialty: email management, scheduling, data entry, customer support, social media, bookkeeping, research, e-commerce operations, marketing, and more. The specific tasks depend on the VA's skills and your business needs.
A virtual assistant works remotely (usually from home or a co-working space), is typically paid hourly or on a retainer, and doesn't require office space, equipment, or benefits. An in-house assistant is employed on-site, costs significantly more in total compensation, and requires physical workspace.
Rates vary by location and skill: Filipino general admin VAs cost $8-15/hr; specialized VAs run $15-25/hr. US-based VAs cost $20-50/hr. Managed VA services like Stealth Agents bundle quality, management, and replacement guarantees-contact us for current pricing.
For most business owners and executives: yes. If you spend more than 5 hours per week on tasks that don't require your unique expertise, a VA will recover more value than they cost. Most clients see ROI within the first month.
Avoid delegating tasks that require real-time physical presence, high-trust financial decisions, sensitive executive judgment calls, or tasks where errors have serious legal or financial consequences without proper oversight. Start with lower-stakes, process-driven tasks and expand as trust is established.
Most VAs work from home offices, often in the Philippines, Latin America, India, Eastern Europe, or the US. The Philippines is the most popular source of offshore VAs for English-speaking businesses due to strong English proficiency and cultural alignment with Western business practices.
Yes. Filipino VAs routinely work US business hours by adjusting their schedule. When you work with Stealth Agents, time zone compatibility is one of the first criteria we match on during the consultation process.
The fastest path: book a free consultation with Stealth Agents. We identify your task priorities, match you with the right VA in 48 hours, and handle the onboarding. You're up and running within a week.
Modern VAs are fluent in Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Zoom, Asana, Trello, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, QuickBooks, Shopify, and dozens of other business tools. During matching, we confirm tool proficiency based on your specific tech stack.
