Frequently asked questions

The right time to hire a VA is when administrative tasks are taking you away from revenue-generating work, you're missing opportunities because you can't keep up, or you're working evenings and weekends just to stay afloat. If you're spending more than 10 hours per week on tasks someone else could handle, fractional support will likely pay for itself.
The most impactful tasks to delegate first are typically email and calendar management, invoicing and bookkeeping prep, social media posting, customer follow-up, and data entry. Trusty Oak's Strategic Delegation Plan helps you identify your specific highest-impact delegation opportunities based on your business and goals.
Trusty Oak's monthly Talent Budget starts at $1,000, covering approximately 25 hours of Executive Assistant support. This is significantly less than hiring a part-time employee when you factor in payroll taxes, benefits, and management time. There's a one-time $300 onboarding fee that includes your personalized Strategic Delegation Plan.
Yes. Unlike hiring one person, Trusty Oak gives you access to Executive Assistants, Specialists, and Fractional Executives through a single monthly budget. A small business owner can use EA hours for daily admin and Specialist hours for marketing, design, or automation in the same month, getting the right expertise for each task without hiring multiple people.
