Plans start at $760/month for 20 hours of dedicated support, with no additional fees. No placement fees, onboarding fees, membership fees, or surprise charges. Your monthly retainer is what you pay.

Every Alpine retainer is customized to the amount of support you need. While 20 hours per month is our minimum, many clients use significantly more support, and larger monthly retainers receive lower rates. Some clients need 20 hours a month, others average around 80, and some work with their VA full-time.

Your retainer isn't set in stone. As your VA takes on more or your needs change, we can adjust your monthly hours up or down to make sure your plan continues to fit your business.

Hours are available throughout the month, giving you flexibility between slower and busier weeks. Unused hours do not roll over, and any hours worked beyond your monthly retainer are simply billed at the end of the month.

Our minimum is 20 hours per month, but most clients need more support as their VA takes ownership of more within the business. Our clients average around 80 hours of support per month, and some work with their Alpine VA full-time.

The right amount for you depends on what you want your VA to own. We’ll help you think through your workload, priorities, and responsibilities to determine the level of support that makes the most sense.

Yes. Alpine works exclusively with U.S.-based virtual assistants. Our VAs bring professional experience across executive support, operations, project management, marketing, bookkeeping, and other specialized areas.

Yes. You’ll have the opportunity to meet the VA we recommend before moving forward so you can make sure the fit feels right.

Most Alpine VAs start working with their clients within 24–48 hours. Once we understand what you need, we’ll identify the best match from our vetted U.S.-based team, introduce you to your recommended VA, and get onboarding underway so you can start getting things off your plate quickly.

Yes. You’ll have a dedicated VA who gets to know you, your business, your preferences, and the way you work. We believe the best support comes from building a long-term working relationship, not sending each request to a different person.

Tell us. Our team stays involved throughout your relationship with Alpine, and if the match isn’t working, we’ll work with you to understand what needs to change and find a better-fit VA.

A lot more than calendar management. Depending on the VA you're matched with, support can include executive administration, inbox and calendar management, travel, research, client and vendor communication, project management, operations, systems and automations, CRM management, marketing, content creation, SEO and advertising support, bookkeeping and financial administration, and more.

If you're not sure whether something can be delegated, ask us. That's part of what we'll help you figure out.

You aren't left without support simply because life happens. Alpine can provide fill-in coverage when your VA is unavailable, and our team helps coordinate the transition so important work can keep moving.

We’re highly selective about who joins the Alpine team. Applicants go through a five-step vetting process, and less than 1% of applicants are accepted. We evaluate professional experience, communication, skills, reliability, and whether someone meets the standards we expect for our clients.

We start with what you actually need taken off your plate, then consider the skills, tools, industry experience, availability, personality, and working style that will make the relationship successful. From there, we personally select the Alpine VA we believe is the strongest fit rather than asking you to sort through a database of candidates.

That’s completely normal. You don’t have to fit neatly into one of the service categories above. Many of our VAs have experience across multiple areas, and we’ll look for someone whose combination of skills matches what you need. If your needs require multiple specialists, we can talk through the best way to structure your support.

Our VAs have a two-business-hour response standard Monday through Friday. That doesn’t necessarily mean every request will be completed within two hours, but you’ll know your VA has received it and when you can expect it to be handled.

Yes. Our ongoing minimum is 20 hours per month, and your plan can be adjusted as your needs change. If your VA’s availability allows, you can also increase your support as your role grows.

Your VA can work within the communication and collaboration tools your business already uses, whether that’s email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, a project management platform, or another system. We want your VA to fit into your existing workflow rather than create another place you have to manage.

That’s part of our matching process. Let us know which platforms are important to your business, and we’ll prioritize relevant experience when selecting your VA. Our team has experience across a wide range of CRMs, project management platforms, marketing tools, accounting software, automation platforms, and other business systems.

There will always be some onboarding because every business works differently, but you shouldn't have to teach someone how to be an assistant from scratch. We match you with an experienced professional based on the work you need done, and Alpine covers an initial training period to give you and your VA dedicated time to learn your business and processes.

Your VA works through Alpine, so you don't have to recruit, vet, hire, or manage payroll for another employee. Alpine handles the relationship behind the scenes while you work directly with your dedicated VA day to day.

We support entrepreneurs, executives, small businesses, agencies, nonprofits, professional service firms, and growing teams across a wide range of industries. The common thread isn't a particular industry. It's reaching the point where capable, reliable support would give you back time and mental bandwidth.
