What clients say on Clutch.
Unfiltered, third-party-verified reviews pulled live from our Clutch profile.
Four reasons clients keep their squad.
Extension of your brand.
Not tier-1 triage. Our receptionists know your order history, appointment flow, tools, and escalation rules. Your customers feel one team.
Rigorously screened and trained.
Receptionists pass speech clarity, accent, grammar, spelling, and typing assessments before the interview. You pick from voice evaluations that match your brand tone.
Affordable at any scale.
A dedicated virtual receptionist is typically 50% cheaper (or more) than a full-time in-office hire. Start with one; scale into a full team without the office overhead.
Proprietary tech built in.
Our contact-center software is built in-house - optimised for live receptionist work and integrated with Zendesk, Salesforce, HubSpot, and your EHR or PMS.
Your tools. Our team. Zero friction.
Trained on helpdesks, CRMs, EHRs, and productivity tools you already use. Custom setup? We train the team on it.
Three dedicated VAs. $100K+ recovered in 60 days.
A New Jersey dental practice replaced after-hours and overflow phone coverage with three dedicated HelpSquad VAs - inbound and outbound calls, patient scheduling, billing follow-up, and Dentrix data entry. Aged A/R cleared in 60 days, around-the-clock coverage without adding in-house staff.
Simple rates. Nothing to hide.
We publish our rates because we're proud of them. No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch. Engagements typically start at 20 hours per week, and every rate includes our HIPAA-compliant technology and the backing of a US-based company.
