FAQ
MyOutDesk virtual assistants cost up to 70% less than hiring a comparable in-house administrative assistant in the U.S. You get a full-time, dedicated professional who supports your practice without the overhead of office space, equipment, benefits, or payroll taxes.
Our VAs support your advisory team with scheduling, CRM data entry, meeting preparation, client communication (appointment confirmations, check-ins, follow-ups), document filing and organization, and general administrative tasks. Your advisors retain all client-facing, advisory, and compliance responsibilities.
MyOutDesk VAs are trained to work with common advisory practice tools including Redtail, Wealthbox, Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Laserfiche, Citrix ShareFile, and Box. If you use a different system, our VAs can learn new platforms during onboarding.
Every MyOutDesk VA signs a comprehensive confidentiality agreement and can sign your firm's own NDA. Our operations are SOC 2 aligned, and all VAs work on secured, monitored workstations. Your VA will only access the systems and data you grant them permission to use.
No. MyOutDesk VAs are strictly administrative support professionals. They do not provide financial advice, make investment recommendations, execute trades, or perform any activity that requires securities registration or licensing. Your advisory team retains full responsibility for all client-facing advisory work.
Every MyOutDesk virtual assistant is 100% dedicated to your practice. They work full-time for you, learn your workflows and preferences, and become a reliable extension of your support team. They are never shared with other clients.
Most clients are matched with a qualified VA and fully onboarded within 7 business days. Our placement team screens candidates for relevant administrative experience so your VA can contribute quickly.
Absolutely. Your MyOutDesk VA will sign any NDA or confidentiality agreement your firm requires before starting work. This is common among our financial services clients and we fully support it.
Your VA can update contact records, log meeting notes, tag client segments, maintain workflow checklists, run birthday and milestone lists, and clean up duplicate or incomplete profiles in Redtail, Wealthbox, or Salesforce so your advisors always have current information before each client interaction.
Yes, for administrative communication. Your VA can send appointment confirmations, check-in emails, birthday and holiday greetings, and follow up on outstanding paperwork or scheduling requests on behalf of your advisors. All communication uses your team's templates and is sent under your advisors' direction.
Many of our financial advisory clients start with one VA and add more as their practice and client base grow. Whether you need additional scheduling support or a dedicated CRM specialist, MyOutDesk can scale with your needs.
Yes. Our VAs can support multi-advisor practices by coordinating calendars, maintaining CRM records, and handling administrative tasks across the team. Your VA learns each advisor's preferences and workflows to provide consistent support.
MyOutDesk VAs do not provide financial advice, manage investment portfolios, execute trades, prepare financial plans, file regulatory documents, or perform any work that requires securities licensing or registration. They also do not access or handle trade secrets, material nonpublic information (MNPI), or any data subject to SEC oversight such as insider trading restrictions or Regulation FD. They are dedicated administrative support professionals who handle the operational tasks that free your advisors to focus on clients.
