SimplifiVAs

About us

You shouldn't have to choose between a gamble and a tool.

For years the only options were an unvetted freelancer who might not work out, or software that automates a task but never a role. SimplifiVAs is the alternative: a real, vetted, trained assistant who takes work off your plate so you get your time back.

Why we exist

The freedom to run your business, not just survive it.

We exist to help business owners escape the burden of having to do it all — every invoice, every follow-up email, every scheduling conflict — so you can focus on growing the business, providing for your family, and actually enjoying the reasons you started it in the first place.

Our mission is to simplify business ownership with assistants who are ethical, highly selective, and expertly prepared before they ever join your team. We hold ourselves to the highest standard of vetting and training, and we treat every assistant with respect and every client with accountability.

Our vision is simple: be the partner that lets you build a thriving business while getting the work-life balance you actually deserve — not someday, starting now.

What we hold ourselves to

Five values, and what each one actually commits us to

These aren't a poster on a wall. They're the standard we vet against, train against, and hold ourselves accountable to on every account.

Trust

Every relationship starts with trust, and we build it deliberately. Our vetting is highly selective and performance-focused, so when you delegate something that matters, you can actually let go of it.

Reliability

You get consistent, high-quality support from day one — not a rotating cast of names. Your assistant becomes a dependable part of your team, not a placeholder.

Integrity

We do what we say we'll do. Upfront pricing, no long-term contracts, and a process you can see all the way through — nothing buried in fine print.

Value

The return has to be obvious. Delegating should free up real hours in your week and help your business grow — that's the return we hold ourselves to.

Respect

Our assistants are skilled professionals with their own talents and ambitions, not workers to be used up. We invest in their wellbeing on purpose, because people treated well do better work for you.

  • Fair pay and consistent hours, not gig-economy scraps
  • Ongoing training investment, not a one-time onboarding
  • A team that's treated well — because it shows in the work

The promise

We believe in earning your business daily, not just once.

That belief isn't a slogan — it shapes five concrete commitments we hold ourselves to on every account, starting with the first call.

Leadership

    Founder

    SimplifiVAs was founded out of a straightforward frustration: owners were being offered a bad choice. Gamble on an unvetted freelancer, or buy more software that automates a task but never gives you your time back. Neither solves the real problem. The company was built on a different premise — that the right person, rigorously vetted and properly matched, can do what no directory or automation tool can: take real work off your plate, reliably, starting week one.
