TheLAoffice has provided virtual assistant services from Los Angeles since 2009. With US and UK-based staff delivering 24/7 coverage across time zones, we serve local LA businesses and international clients with professional administrative, operational, and executive support.
Virtual assistant services encompass a range of remote administrative, operational, and specialized support tasks performed by professional staff. Unlike traditional in-house employees, virtual assistants work remotely and can be engaged on flexible hourly, weekly, or monthly arrangements.
At TheLAoffice, our virtual assistant services cover:
Our Los Angeles virtual assistant team has experience supporting businesses across diverse industries. Our local knowledge of LA's business landscape provides valuable context for your operations.
Production companies, talent agencies, creative professionals
Law firms, consultants, financial advisors, architects
Agents, property managers, developers, investors
Retail, restaurants, service providers, startups
Artists, designers, photographers, writers
Businesses expanding into the US market via Los Angeles
While virtual assistants can work from anywhere, there are distinct advantages to partnering with a Los Angeles-based virtual assistant company:
Understanding LA's unique business culture, neighborhoods, vendor landscape, and networking opportunities provides context that remote-only assistants lack. Whether coordinating meetings in Downtown LA, Santa Monica, or Pasadena, or recommending local service providers, local knowledge adds value.
For West Coast businesses, having support available during Pacific time business hours eliminates the delays of working across time zones. Combined with our UK-based staff, we can provide coverage from early morning Pacific to late evening.
While most of our work is remote, our Los Angeles base means we can offer in-person support for special projects, events, or tasks that require physical presence in the LA area.
Our US-based team understands American business conventions, communication styles, legal requirements, and customer expectations without requiring cultural translation.
Deciding between a virtual assistant and a full-time employee depends on your specific needs, budget, and growth stage. Here's how they compare:
| Factor | Virtual Assistant | In-House Employee |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Pay only for hours used; no benefits, office space, or equipment costs | Salary + 20-30% for benefits, payroll taxes, equipment, workspace |
| Flexibility | Scale up/down based on workload; no long-term commitment | Fixed salary regardless of workload; hiring/firing costs |
| Availability | Can arrange coverage across time zones; 24/7 options | Limited to standard business hours |
| Expertise | Access to specialists in various areas as needed | Limited to individual's skillset |
| Management | Managed by VA company; less oversight required | Requires direct management, training, performance reviews |
| Physical Presence | Remote; occasional in-person available | On-site daily |

Our US-based team works Pacific time business hours, while our UK-based staff provides coverage during early morning and evening hours Pacific time. This combination allows us to offer extended coverage. 24/7 support arrangements are available for clients with around-the-clock needs.

TheLAoffice has operated from Los Angeles since 2009, giving us over 15 years of experience. Our US and UK-based staff (no overseas outsourcing) provides native English support with cultural understanding. We offer true 24/7 coverage capabilities, local LA market knowledge, and long-term client relationships—our longest partnership spans over 15 years.
Yes, we assign a primary point of contact to each client for consistency. However, having a team rather than a solo VA means your work continues even during vacations or sick days, and you have access to specialists for different task types when needed.
We prioritize client satisfaction and address concerns immediately. If something isn't working, we discuss and adjust. There are no long-term contracts—you can modify your service level or end the engagement at any time with reasonable notice.
