About Byron
The company was started by Michael Benson in 2016 due to seeing a lack of accountability and low quality of work across the freelance marketplace. Byron’s current owner and CEO, Ujwal Velagapudi, continued Michael’s work by elevating Byron’s quality standards to be a strong contender in the VA services space.
Byron only hires US-based assistants and puts them through a rigorous vetting and testing process evaluating them across more than 100 skills. All Byron Assistants are college educated and have 5 or more years of experience as a Virtual Assistant (any kind), C Suite Executive Assistant, Remote Accountant/Bookkeeper, or Virtual Administrative Officer.
When you sign up for one of their plans you have the option to submit short or long-term tasks.
Short-term tasks are generally tasks that can be completed within 24 hours. Long-term tasks give you the opportunity to work with a dedicated assistant on an ongoing basis.
Byron’s target customers are startups, small businesses, and individuals looking to outsource some of their workload. Enterprise-level support is also available on a custom-plan basis.
They have a user-friendly platform, and it’s easy to add multiple users so all of your team can have access to your VA and send tasks to be completed.

My dedicated assistant, Michelle is a dream come true. She has the bull by the horns, so my stress levels have gone way down. My whole Byron experience has been great. I appreciate having them as part of my team.
We used to work with Fancy Hands, and Byron is worlds ahead of them. Answers are ALWAYS prompt and I receive proactive updates if it’s a task that requires more time. Communications is always clear. We are so grateful to have Byron supporting our work.
Good work Byrod keep it up to help who are equally suffering.
Byron is Great! I have worked with Byron for over 1 year and they have been a huge lever to my personal life and business. I have been able to offload a ton of tasks that allow me to handle things that I want to handle. They are professional and easy to work with and their platform is fairly easy to use. They also get things done much quicker than I could imagine. Shout out to my dedicated assistant Sarah who has been a lifesaver!
