Chicago
Built for how Chicago businesses work
Chicago is one of North America’s biggest rail, trucking and air-freight hubs, so freight brokers, carriers and 3PLs make up a large part of the local economy. It is also a major centre for trading and finance, home to CME Group, along with manufacturers, food companies and professional services firms.
Central Time sits between the coasts, so a Chicago team often works with clients in New York and Los Angeles on the same day. Your VA can cover the hours that suit both.
- Carrier setup packets, track-and-trace updates and proof-of-delivery collection for brokers and carriers
- Client document collection and appointment booking for accounting and tax firms
- Purchase orders, supplier follow-ups and order entry for manufacturers and distributors
- Inbox, calendar and billing support for law and consulting firms

All US locationsChicago FAQs
Straight answers. Anything else, ask on your discovery call.
Can a VA support a freight brokerage or trucking company?
Yes. Your VA can send and check carrier setup packets, post loads, run track-and-trace calls and emails, collect proofs of delivery and match them to invoices. Rates and load decisions stay with you.
Can my VA help an accounting firm through tax season?
Yes. Your VA can send organisers, chase missing client documents, book appointments and keep each return’s status up to date, so your CPAs can focus on the returns themselves.
Our clients are on both coasts. Can a VA cover both?
Yes. Central Time is a good middle ground. Your VA can start early for East Coast clients or stay later for the West Coast, depending on the shift you choose.
Will my VA work Chicago business hours?
Yes. Your VA works your business hours on Central Time, including daylight-saving changes, or any shift that suits your team. Tell us your hours on the discovery call and we’ll match a VA whose schedule covers them.
Do you have an office in Chicago?
No. Your VA works remotely from our headquarters in Chennai, India, or our support centres in Cebu, Philippines and in Brazil and Chile. Our US sales office is in Brooklyn, New York. If you’d prefer a VA physically based in the US, ask about our US-based VA plans.
