Built by someone who's been managing remote teams for years — not learning on your dime.

The short version

Wield VA is founded by Brad Murray, an Indianapolis-based entrepreneur who has spent years building and running remote-first businesses. Through Scale Squad, Brad manages a 15-person team in the Philippines that hosts and supports more than 1,300 WordPress websites for businesses across the United States. He also founded Inspire Website Design, a web design agency serving small businesses.

Wield VA exists because of a pattern Brad saw over and over in those businesses: small business owners know exactly what marketing they need — they just don't have the time to do it, the budget for US help, or the bandwidth to learn AI tools that could do most of the heavy lifting.

Why this model works

The hard part of a virtual assistant company isn't the idea — it's the operations. Hiring well, paying reliably, training consistently, building trust across cultures and time zones, and keeping quality high when nobody's in the same room. That's the part that takes years to figure out, and it's the part Wield VA didn't have to figure out, because the systems, the hiring pipeline, and the team relationships already exist.

We layered two things on top of that foundation:

• AI-trained people. Our virtual assistants are trained to wield tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Canva AI, Zapier, and Mailchimp — so one skilled person produces the output of a small team.
• Systems that respect your time. The Momentum System keeps work moving without you chasing anyone. The Business Avatar means you explain your business exactly once.

What we believe

• Sell results, not hours. You're paying for the newsletter that went out, not the time it took.
• Pay people well for great work. Our VAs earn competitive full-time wages in the Philippines, with pay that grows as they master AI tools and take on more clients.
• Proactive beats responsive. A great VA tells you what's done and what's next — before you ask.
