At Timpi, we’re picky about who we work with – on both sides. Our VAs have at least five years of experience in an administrative or executive assistant role and a minimum of one year working as a VA. If that’s you, and you’re looking for a better way to do VA work, brilliant clients, proper pay, and a team that actually has your back – we’d love to hear from you.
Timpi started as a solo venture. It was founded by Steph Sheargold who knew first-hand what it felt like to build a VA career from scratch, without much support. That experience shapes everything about how we run the team today. We know what a great VA needs to thrive, and we’ve built a culture around it.
Our VAs tell us they stay because of the clients, the community and the way we work. We’re not a faceless agency with a roster of hundreds. We’re a close-knit team where everyone is known, supported and valued. We run monthly wellbeing check-in calls, celebrate wins together and make sure nobody feels like they’re going it alone. If something isn’t working, we want to know and we’ll do something about it.
We match you with clients based on skills, yes. But, also on personality and working style. The result is partnerships that feel good to be in, with people who genuinely appreciate what you bring.
Our VAs are experienced professionals and we pay them accordingly. Our hourly rate is among the best in the industry because we believe that good work deserves proper recognition.
You’re never on your own at Timpi. Monthly wellbeing calls, a thriving VA community and a team that has your back means working for yourself doesn’t have to mean working by yourself.
We invest in our VAs’ growth. Whether that’s ongoing training and in-depth guidance on developing new skills, or simply the support to take on more interesting and stretching work over time, we’ll help you grow.
Our low turnover rate isn’t a happy accident. It’s the result of matching people well and looking after them properly. Our VAs stay for the long haul, and so do their clients.
