We help founders diagnose the real bottlenecks, design scalable systems, and then place the right support to run them so growth actually sticks.

Strategic support for founders who know

the problem isn’t effort — it’s structure.

Is Strategic Support Partners right for you?

SSP is not a fit if you’re simply looking to hire a virtual assistant to check tasks off a list.

We work best with founders who already know their real bottleneck isn’t capacity — it’s clarity, decision flow, and structure.

Assistants are often part of the solution, but only after we diagnose what’s actually slowing the business down.

Our approach: clarity first, support second

Diagnose the real constraints slowing you down.

Before we talk about hiring or support, we start by understanding where friction really exists — decision bottlenecks, unclear ownership, broken workflows, or misaligned priorities.
Most founders don’t have a capacity problem; they have a structure problem. We help you see it clearly.

Design systems that scale — not temporary fixes.

Once the real bottlenecks are clear, we design systems that support how your business actually runs, not generic frameworks.
That might include clearer decision flow, better documentation, improved handoffs, or tighter operational rhythms that reduce drag instead of adding complexity.

Place support that compounds your leadership.

Only after structure is in place do we identify and place the right support — so assistants can succeed without constant direction or micromanagement.

Great assistants don’t just handle tasks, they operate within clear systems, take ownership, and free you to focus on high-leverage decisions instead of constant oversight.

What this looks like in practice

Clarity and systems come first — execution follows.
Once structure is in place, we help you put the right support in position to run it well.

That means placing support partners who understand context, take ownership, and operate inside clear systems — not task-runners waiting for instructions.

  • Ethan Layer, Owner — 5STR Cleaning & Maintenance

    They helped me hire a rockstar for my Airbnb cleaning business within just a couple of weeks! Delivered 3 great candidates and really were helpful in navigating and coaching me through how to set everyone up for success. Highly recommend this team!!

  • Jaime, Real Estate Agent and Investor

    Strategic Support Partners helped me find a VA who fit the specific needs of my business, and my business is operating at a higher and more efficient level than it ever has before. 3 finalist VAs were chosen based on the specific needs of my business, and I feel like they really listened when they created the job posting and narrowed the finalists down to the last 3. I had 3 very qualified candidates, and I was able to interview with them to make my final decision. I recommend Strategic Support Partners to all of my real estate agent colleagues.

  • Miriam, Entrepreneur

    Strategic Support Partners helped me find an extremely responsive Virtual Assistant with the right experience! Having a VA dedicated to my needs (especially during a very busy season) was a game changer! She helped me to complete projects quickly that would normally be pushed to the back burner, causing me unnecessary stress and cost as I rushed to complete them at the last second. MaryAnn also found someone who could communicate with me by my preferred mode of communication, not just email! I don’t think I ever would have hired a Virtual Assistant if I had to go through all the research, vetting, hiring and onboarding on my own. If you’re needing to hire a VA for the first time or need to make a change, this is such a valuable service!

  • Kelli, CEO at TurnNBurns

    The matching process was exceptional. I felt like you placed me with exactly what I needed. I just didn’t know it yet. I got a lot done today and the extra hands helped more than you could imagine. You [have] a great eye and attention to detail. This is so your area of expertise.”
