How To Know Whether A Virtual Assistant Is The Right Resource For Your Business

During a recent client discovery call, we were asked "what should I be searching for if I need a Virtual Assistant?" As we dug deeper, it became clear—they weren’t looking for a traditional VA at all.

They needed someone who could:

✅ Embed systems and processes into their business

✅ Streamline operations and improve efficiency

✅ Offer strategic support at a higher level

That’s not a general admin VA. That’s an Operations Manager, a Strategic Support Partner, or even an Executive Solutions Team. So, is the term “Virtual Assistant” too loosely used?

💡 The Problem?

The term Virtual Assistant has become so broad that it now covers everything from basic admin support to high-level business strategy. And this often leads to business owners hiring the wrong kind of support—resulting in frustration and unmet expectations.

💡 How We’ve Been Doing It Differently Since Day One

At The Executive Solutions Agency, we’ve never just been "Virtual Assistants." Since day one, we’ve been providing operational support AND physically implementing the solutions we create.

We don’t just set up systems—we:

✔ Coach and guide clients through embedding better ways of working

✔ Support marketing and social media to ensure visibility and business growth

✔ Provide accountability to keep things on track

✔ Create strategies that actually work for neurodivergent business owners

For our neurodivergent clients, we understand that productivity, structure, and delegation need to be tailored to the way they think and work. That’s why we don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions—we create custom systems, processes, and strategies that actually work.
