A VA who already knows your software.
The fastest placements are the ones where the VA opens your system on day one and knows where everything is. These pages cover the platforms we place into most: what a VA actually does inside each one, which permissions they get (and don't), and how long the supervised ramp takes. Half the enquiries we receive name the platform before the job title, and some of our best recent enquiries started with an owner googling exactly that.
