The Flexible Hour Virtual Assistant Model is a managed VA service where clients purchase Buckets of Hours instead of paying a fixed monthly retainer. Hours roll over for 90 days, come with a 60-day unused hour guarantee, and include dedicated VA continuity plus specialist routing — all with dedicated management oversight and no long-term contracts.
A monthly retainer locks you into a fixed number of hours each month — unused hours expire immediately. Buckets of Hours roll over for 90 days, carry a 60-day unused hour guarantee, and can be applied to any task type through dedicated or specialist VAs.
Specialist routing means that when a task falls outside your dedicated VA's skill set — for example WordPress development, bookkeeping, or graphic design — TaskBullet routes it to a qualified specialist automatically. Hours are deducted from the same bucket. No separate hiring required.
Yes. Dedicated VA continuity means you work with the same assistant who learns your business, preferences, and systems over time. Specialist routing handles overflow — your primary assistant stays the same.
Unused hours roll over for 90 days from the purchase date. Additionally, TaskBullet provides a 60-day unused hour guarantee — if you haven't used hours within 60 days, you can request a refund for those hours.
Yes. TaskBullet offers 10 free hours so you can test the Flexible Hour Virtual Assistant Model with no credit card required and no commitment.
Yes. The model is specifically designed for variable workloads. Buy larger buckets for better rates, use hours only when needed, and let unused hours roll over for 90 days. No pressure to burn hours every month like traditional retainers.
You are assigned one dedicated VA for continuity on recurring work. When a task requires a different skill (e.g. advanced bookkeeping, custom WordPress, or design), your Account Manager routes it to the right specialist. Hours for both come from the exact same bucket.
TaskBullet is a fully managed service: dedicated VA continuity, specialist routing from one bucket, US or PH-based management oversight, 90-day rollover, and 60-day guarantee. Upwork requires you to recruit, train, manage, QA, and replace contractors yourself with no rollover or dedicated continuity.
Yes. There are no contracts. Scale up or down by purchasing a different bucket size at any time. Unused hours from previous buckets continue rolling over for their 90-day window.
