When searching for the best virtual assistant company for you to partner with, you will quickly notice there are a lot to choose from. You will eventually figure out there are two basic categories with unlimited variations.
There are Managed VA companies and Non-Managed VA companies. I'm not referring to the company's management but rather the management of your actual VA that you work with every day.

The basic rule of thumb is if the company is MANAGED, then plan on paying a little more /hr but getting a much better experience.

If the company is UN-MANAGED, then plan to pay a little less /hr and do all the heavy lifting yourself. These companies have different software to help with the sorting process, but you are still the one doing the recruiting, reviewing profiles, interviews, payroll and trying to put together your team as you grow. You are paying for all the software used to manage a team of VAs.

You will spend less /hr but read any business book, and you will find that your time is way more valuable /hr than what you will save by going direct and cutting out the management of your employees. There is a reason HR departments exist. The job of taking care of and managing a team of employees is a big one and not easy.

no Contracts

No 30-day notice is required here, and there are no monthly fees. That means you can cancel anytime. You don't have to worry about canceling before the next month's bill hits your CC because we don't auto bill your CC. You are in control of how many hours you will purchase.

VS

No contracts

They do require a 30-day cancellation notice. While that is not a "contract" it is something to consider when you're paying monthly. That means you will have to pay them one more month for hours you apparently don't need.

Refund

60-Day Refund Policy
TaskBullet will refund any UNUSED hours within 60-days of purchase.

This shows an unbelievable amount of confidence in the product. TaskBullet does not bill monthly, so the hours you purchase can be used as fast or as slow as you need. If you decide the service is not a good fit, you can cancel and get your money back on all the hours you did not use.

Refund

No-Refunds

This is actually a big deal. Remember Virtual Gurus has a 30-day cancelation policy, and they bill you monthly.
That means not only are you not getting your money back if you decide it's not a good fit, but you will also be paying an extra month for hours you didn't want.

As you can see, when looking for an alternative to Virtual Gurus, TaskBullet does have the edge. The two things that really stand out are:

Monthly billing with no refunds

The /hr rate is higher.

Virtual Gurus is actually a decent company. (there are a lot worse out there) The monthly billing is a bummer compared to the TaskBullet Bucket System. The higher /hr cost is not great because you're paying more for a less efficient billing system, so it is a considerable difference in real-life cost.

Task Bullet helped us with a bookkeeping project that allowed us to get the work done in a cost-effective way. We saved a considerable amount of money by using Task Bullet instead of the bookkeeper we had been using previously.

usaboxer2006

The service is excellent and has saved me hours on bookkeeping and receipt management!

Michael D.

Nicole has been the best! She is awesome to work with: super responsive, keeps me organized & on task, and is a force-multiplier in my business. I highly recommend TaskBullet to anyone looking for a top-notch VA!

Benoit L.

Kevin K.

Task bullet is outstanding. Super easy to work with and they have fantastic support! Highly recommend.

Justdothething B.

My first experience with a VA at any level. Task Bullet was recommended by a friend so I gave it a try. I love that I don't have to choose a specific skill set. Task Bullet allows me to provide the project and helps me align a VA with the right skills. Very versatile.

Lorna J.

I’ve loved working with Vincent and Earl so far. They’ve helped me a lot in my business, from designing landing pages, email automation and diarising appointments. I feel more organised. Thank you 🙏🏻

Garrick B.

I can say nothing but positive things about this company. Our VA has done great work. Their communication is very timely. They have been able to dive into the complicated tasks, follow-up on tasks and flag errors with instructions to create further efficiencies. We have saved quite a few hours since working with them. Their pricing model is VERY reasonable.

Michelle C.

Have been using Task Bullet for years, have been recommending them to friends and clients! Love the bucket idea, esp if you're starting out and not sure how to hire and how many hours you need in your new business. Found them because I was reading Tim Ferriss' 4 hour work week and he recommended to hire a VA team who have a dedicated manager, and Task bullet does this, and I've saved so much time because VA turnover is high on average, and my manager Lisa has found me the right staff who have stayed with me for years now. Can't recommend highly enough!

Nick

TaskBullet is great to work with. Their "Bucket" system makes so much sense and simplifies the entire process of working with VAs. Not to mention the VAs are great! Highly recommended.

Joel Moss L.

Responsive, thoughtful, professional and a helpful partner. Still figuring out the best way to communicate everything I want to do now that I’ve got this great resource!

S V

I'm planning a large event and TaskBullet has been instrumental in accelerating our capacity. I've been impressed by how seamlessly my assistant navigates between different tools, including Notion and Airtable, which can be challenging for some to pick up quickly. The team has been very responsive with any questions. If they added weekend coverage I'd be over the moon!

Adrian S.

This service is top notch. Great communication all the way through. Plus fast, efficient, quality work. I'm very pleased and will continue using them.

Nao G.

TaskBullet has been a GREAT help to me over the last few years! I didn't realize how valuable it is to be able to outsource some of my work until I tried it. TaskBullet has been working great for simple yet time-consuming tasks - well worth it!

Glenn M.

I reached out to Taskbullet for help with research and top of the funnel marketing assistance; the result has been fantastic! I love the project focus and ability to scale hours up or down, something that is a little harder to come by with other VA services. Upon writing my first task, I was promptly assigned a VA that exceeded my expectations, and now I can rest easy knowing I am moving my business forward through leveraging Taskbullet. Highly recommend!

Matthew F.

The team at Task Bullet is incredible! There's nothing like supercharging your productivity with some help from professional assistants. I strongly recommend them!

Camilla M.

I have been extremely impressed by the service I've got a Task Bullet. I've looked at other VA companies and not been drawn to use them. What I love about Task Bullet is that they have such a vast array of expertise that you can draw on, thereby using your time so efficiently. I also love that you have an initial conversation with a supervisor and she oversees the projects and checks in with you to make sure you're getting the service you want. I've been recommending them to all my friends and people I know in business

DCM Pest C.

Taskbullet are on hand to help with all your business needs, matching you to a suitable candidate and offering ongoing support.

Andrea Denise J.

I’ve used TaskBullet for a variety of services, design, video editing, website revamp, and each time I’m happy with their high level of communication and their work. It had definitely made life/work easier!

Colette R.

I've been working with Taskbullet for the last while and have found them all great, very fast and they have a team of different people that have different skills so I've got them to do various tasks including video editing, updating my website etc. I would definitely recommend them as I tried a few other VAs before and they were totally inadequate.

Holly C.

Tried a few different VA's now and this has been the best by far for simple admin tasks and social media upkeep

Just Go T.

TaskBullet is perfect for my small business. I love the excellent communication I receive. I have 2 Virtual assistants, one for social media and the other to help maximize my website and SEO. Both are super creative and responsive. More creative than me, which I NEED! We even use Zoom meetings to better communicate and perfect each project. They are both available on my hours and because of where they are located, we even meet after 5pm occasionally which is perfect for me!I am in my first bucket of hours but now that I know how it all works and I love the service, I plan to purchase a larger bucket of hours and save money on future projects.Thanks TadkBullet for all your support!Julie

A great resource for our business.

Kristina & Breanne S.

We started working with Task Bullet about 2 months ago and have freed up SO much time! We appreciate having a dedicated Project Manager, Karla, who we can bounce project ideas off and ask all of our questions. She's super responsive and helpful!We also really appreciate the VAs who are supporting us. They ask good questions, ensure their understanding, check back to ensure they are completing tasks correctly, and overall do a great job with communication and quality of work!I would definitely recommend trying them out; I think you'll be surprised by the amount of time time they can free up so you can focus on your highest valued tasks.

Highly recommend as a VA service. My project manager has been second to non. Usually all work is great. One task wasn’t completed as expected and the task was completed again at no extra charge in the same day! You can’t get better than that.

Wyred I.

We recommend Task Bullet for all of your marketing assistant needs. We love how responsive the team is and they are always a pleasure to work with. Task Bullet helps us do more of what we love to do ... run our business!

Team M.

TaskBullet is very organized and responsive. They take a video of how to do your task so you only have to show them how to do it once. Mostly they are doing data entry for me, and they are highly accurate.

Tim B.

A friend referred me to Virtual Assistants & Virtual Assistant Services by Task Bullet. I am very pleased with their responsiveness and the work that they do. I would highly recommend them.

Jessica L.

Task Bullet virtual assistance service has been nothing short of wonderful. My VA is amazing, and I'm very excited about the efficiency and support they bring to my daily tasks. Thank you for saving me time and helping my company grow!

Dhru B.

Task Bullet has been great to work with. I'm a very picky business owner when it comes to vendors, and I've gone through more VAs than I'd like to admit publicly (23, last time I checked). Task Bullet has been great to work with so far!Like with any VA service, it takes some time to get into a rhythm and figure out how best to work with them so styles work properly. The feedback loop is essential in this process, and ideally, you only spend a week or two going through the big rounds of feedback and growing pains before you get into a nice groove. This process was relatively fast with Task Bullet, and especially for what you pay, they are prompt, effective, and responsive. The only "complaint" I could have is that they use Basecamp for task management and communication, and I'm not a huge fan. But like I said, I've used tons of VAs over the years, and if that's the worst thing about a VA company, then you're doing pretty well!HIGHLY recommend!

Audrey A.

I have worked with resourceful VAs and it has been a seamless process ! I appreciate the efficiency

Oliver G.

Task Bullet has a flexible business model (based on hours rather than fixed contracts) which was just perfect for my bookkeeping needs. They give you a free trial so it's definitely worth checking them out!

Jennifer M.

I’ve been using TaskBullet for 15 months now and love it. I am not techie do they help me with social media, graphics, and accounting.

Grace R.

Great!

Alexander K.

Task Bullet has been a great find. I use the virtual assistants to help build my business by assisting my new business managers with leads and outreach. They are incredibly affordable and communicative.

Yaro C.

I use Task Bullet for Social Media and email blasts. So far it has been a great choice.

Construkt A.

Taskbullet can be a great admin tool to add to your business toolkit and a very good value, depending on the tasks you give them to do.

Aviva R.

Task Bullet makes it super simple to outsource tasks to a virtual assistant. They are responsive, easy to work with, and hire great talent.

Steven A.

My experience has been first rate. Communication with my task manager, Eena G., and both of the people she assigned asks to has been excellent. Also, my projects were done in a timely manner.

Miki S.

I have enjoyed working with TaskBullet because of their great customer service and quality of work!

Nalee R.

Task bullet is a great way to outsource virtual tasks. They are friendly, punctual, and on top of their game. Highly recommend to anyone looking to outsource.

Venus O.

A friend recommended Task Bullet to me as I was going crazy as a one-woman-band. I have been working with TaskBullet for 3 months now and I cannot recommend it enough. I have outsourced graphic design, audio editing, SEO on-page optimisation, email marketing and more. Everyone I have dealt with has been pleasant, professional and efficient. They certainly make my life easier so that I can concentrate on the tasks that I have to do myself. I can't believe that I used to believe that outsourcing would be difficult when the opposite is true.

Adela R.

I´m using Taskbullet to create my digital business from scratch and I only can say that I´m very happy with your service. Highly recommended ;)

R.J. M.

Best Prices hands down!!!

Jacob W.

We have been using TaskBullet for data research via the internet and it has worked better than we could have expected. The team is awesome!!

Carolyn C.

Great service, great staff, love the VA's I've worked with. Thank you!
