I love the consistency of the service provided by MySigrid. They have all the training and documentation in place so that even if another VA has to handle my concern, this VA already knows my working style and expectations and can deliver the results that I want.
Lee Yuanzheng, Founder & CEO, A Space Between, Singapore
You get support from this type of professional VA service that you wouldn’t be able to afford otherwise. Proactiveness for a starter. My VA sometimes predicts my travel needs before I do - that’s a luxury I now enjoy. More hours of support. Then there is the 24-hour back-up team supporting me when my VA is off.

At MySigrid, we match you with a dedicated Virtual Assistant (VA) who possesses deep business experience to support you and your team. Your handpicked Assistant is pre-vetted, trained, and managed by us.
Your dedicated Assistant will help manage and coordinate your work, personal, and family logistics. They are supported by a Backup Assistant, a Customer Success Manager, a team of Specialists, and a 24/7 Backup Team for critical tasks outside of your Assistant's regular working hours.
Our team operates in all time zones, Mondays through Fridays. Whether you’re traveling to a different time zone or require assistance during weekends we've got you covered.
Your Assistant undergoes bi-weekly coaching and training sessions and is continuously supervised by our quality control officers, ensuring top-notch service.
We use MySigrid, our proprietary Collaboration and Task Management App to efficiently and collectively manage tasks. This improves quality, reduces human error, and increases speed.
We are highly flexible and can adapt to your working style. MySigrid is easy to set up and can be seamlessly integrated into your preferred systems and processes.
We also guarantee seamless continuity, meaning that the Backup Assistant can seamlessly step in and provide support if needed without disrupting your service.
Our features and benefits surpass what traditional talent agencies, BPOs, and freelancing platforms can offer.
Our professional and experienced Customer Success Managers (CSMs) will guide you through the process and be there for you from the moment you first interact with MySigrid. Your CSM will ensure that your journey with MySigrid is successful. They will be your go-to person, making sure all the boxes on your checklist are ticked.
Your dedicated Assistant is a proficiently managed and extensively trained employee of MySigrid. In case a full-time Assistant isn't needed, you have the flexibility to choose from a range of plans tailored to suit your preferred hours.
MySigrid's process for matching a client with an Assistant is designed to ensure a harmonious and productive working relationship. The key to MySigrid's approach is that it's client-centric and flexible. We prioritize both the technical fit (skills and qualifications) and the personal fit (chemistry and working style) to ensure that the client and Assistant work seamlessly together, creating a productive and enjoyable partnership.
MySigrid guarantees continuity of service through the use of our game-changing feature, the Client Fact Book (CFB) in the MySigrid Communication & Task Management App.
Your dedicated Assistant uses the CFB to document all your unique preferences and instructions. In the event that your dedicated Assistant is unavailable, the backup Assistant is well-prepared to step in seamlessly, as they have access to all the relevant details in MySigrid. This approach ensures that no important details about your work, family, or personal life are forgotten, maintaining a smooth and uninterrupted service.
When you hire an Assistant from MySigrid, you're enlisting the support of the entire MySigrid Team.
You're not limited to the skills of your dedicated Assistant; they can tap into the expertise of our whole team of specialists at any time, including IT, travel specialists, coding, bookkeeping, graphic design, SEO, and social media management.
We also have a 24/7 backup team supporting your Assistant for critical tasks outside your Assistant’s working hours. Just write ‘Critical’ in the subject line, and our backup team of Assistants will be alerted in the MySigrid Assistant Communication & Task Management app.
Our dedicated Quality Management Team rigorously enforces strict quality control procedures to identify and proactively resolve quality issues.
Additionally, the MySigrid App guarantees that no task gets lost during delegation, ensuring your Assistant adheres to agreed-upon response times and deadlines, and that all client preferences and urgent appointments are meticulously managed.
If achieving top-notch quality is your priority, MySigrid is the industry's leading choice.
Each client is allocated a dedicated Virtual Assistant. This individual is set up as an employee of your company and functions as a fully integrated member of your team. Your dedicated Assistant will also be given a local telephone number and company-branded email.
If you would like your dedicated Assistant to proactively manage your calendar and email inbox for you, we will set your Assistant up as an additional user on your email system.
The MySigrid Assistant Task Management app facilitates seamless communication with your dedicated Assistant, offering a structured overview of all your delegated tasks.
Additionally, you can easily track the time taken for task completion by your Assistant through the task management dashboard in the app, and monitor your subscription usage via your private dashboard.
Every one of our Assistants is connected to the MySigrid Training Academy. Your dedicated Assistant actively engages in bi-weekly coaching and training sessions alongside the entire MySigrid team. Supervisory support is readily accessible to aid in understanding new tasks and tools as required. This practice is invaluable in ensuring that your Assistant remains current with the latest tools and continues to enhance their skills and knowledge.
In our digital-first world, most payment transactions require access to payment details and login credentials.
Our Online Client Secure Vaults (CSVs) are equipped with robust end-to-end encryption, ensuring a secure way for you to share sensitive data with your Assistant, including credit card details and login credentials. This system enables our Assistants to go the extra mile on behalf of our clients, proactively managing their affairs without the need to disturb the client for every step of task fulfillment.
We recommend providing your Assistant with a secure MySigrid virtual debit card to efficiently handle your online payments in a safe and secure manner.
When you subscribe to one of our flexible plans, you gain access to the MySigrid Assistant Task Management App. MySigrid serves as the central hub for all your task management needs, where your dedicated Assistant manages your tasks and collaborates with our support team.
You can work with your dedicated Assistant and send tasks in any way you like, or use our free App.
MySigrid captures all tasks in one place, ensuring everything is remembered and deadlines are met.
In addition to ensuring that your Assistant has all of the necessary tools and systems in place, we also provide a co-working space where your Assistant can connect with the entire MySigrid community. Our dedicated community manager plays a crucial role in ensuring that your Virtual Assistant thrives at all times. They oversee team-building events, organize training sessions, and coordinate monthly social gatherings, fostering a collaborative and vibrant environment for both your Assistant and the broader community
Chairman & Founder, LCR Capital Partners, US
We've tried working with virtual assistants four or five times in the past - and this is the first time we've encountered a service that was more of an asset than a bandaid. MySigrid has changed our minds about hiring remotely for certain capacities. We wanted to see if we could leverage MySigrid more and found that we could. While the service isn't without limitations, its capabilities are quite broad. I highly commend MySigrid for structuring their services in a way that enables them to deliver quality support with such consistency. If we didn't have MySigrid it would impact our efficiency and effectiveness. This has been an effective service during the most trying times.
Founder, A Space Between, Singapore
