About Us
At Strategic Support Partners, we believe founders grow faster when they don’t have to do it all alone. Our mission is to connect entrepreneurs with proactive virtual assistants who don’t just check boxes, they elevate the way you work.
Our placement process is boutique and personal. Every assistant is carefully sourced, screened, and supported to ensure the right fit from day one. You contract directly with your VA—no buyout fees, no hidden markups—while we guide onboarding, provide proven systems, and stay in your corner with ongoing support.
Most of our assistants are based in the Philippines, where we’ve found exceptional professionals known for excellent English, reliability, and a service-oriented mindset. This global talent pool gives you high-level support at a fraction of the cost of hiring in-house.
With firsthand experience as small business owners, property managers, and real estate investors, MaryAnn and her husband Scott understand the pressures leaders face when they’re spread too thin. That perspective shapes the thoughtful, hands-on way we serve our clients today.
At SSP, we treat every client’s business as if it were our own.
