"Hiring a virtual assistant has been the best decision I’ve made as a founder. I only wish I got one sooner. My South African VA from Cherry Assistant handles all my scheduling, emails, and research."

Jas Sandhu

Founder @ AIHR Screen

"Perfect for someone who's trying to launch a business. Quick intro call, sent over my project description and, bam, what would have been 10 hours of work for me turned into time to do something else, while the project got done on time and accurately."

Dan Drucker

Founder @ Philanthropy Fuel

"Frances has been great, she's able to manage mine and two other emails and calendars for executives. Cherry Assistant made it easy for me to hire and manage my own Executive Assistant. Saves me time and headache."
