Common questions
The questions we hear most from teams weighing a remote hire.
Still have a question?Book a quick call and we'll walk you through your specific case.
Get your shortlistWhat does a bookkeeping VA do? Reconciliations, AP/AR, payroll support and monthly close in QuickBooks, Xero and similar.
How much does it cost? Starting at $8.50/hour all-in, with no placement fees.
Should a bookkeeping virtual assistant be full-time or part-time? Part-time is the norm in our data. Of 33 bookkeeping roles US businesses filled through Virtustant from October 2025 to October 2026, 21 were part-time, most often 20 hours a week, and more than half named a US time zone. Full-time makes sense when payables, receivables and payroll prep fill the whole week.
What should we agree before the assistant starts? Agree who reviews reconciliations, approves payments and controls access to financial systems.
What does a week look like for a bookkeeping virtual assistant? An example at 20 hours a week: Monday and Tuesday, enter bills, prepare payments for your approval and send invoices. Wednesday, reconcile bank and card accounts. Thursday, follow up on overdue invoices and prepare payroll inputs. Friday, send a short summary of cash, payables and receivables. At month-end, they prepare the reconciliations your accountant needs to close. Income tax filing stays with your CPA.
Do you need a CPA for a bookkeeping virtual assistant? Not for day-to-day bookkeeping. None of the 48 bookkeeping job posts Virtustant received in the past year required a CPA; QuickBooks skill and English were the common requirements. Keep a CPA for tax filing and advice.
Which accounting software does a bookkeeping virtual assistant work in? QuickBooks most of all: 22 of the 29 readable job posts behind bookkeeping roles filled through Virtustant named it. They also work in Xero, in Bill.com for vendor bills, in Expensify for receipts and expense reports, and in Gusto for payroll inputs. Tell us your stack on the first call and we match for it.
