Virtual assistants for Houston businesses

Houston runs on Central time and on industries with heavy scheduling and paperwork: energy, healthcare at the Texas Medical Center, port logistics and a big construction and home-services market.

Common first handovers include patient and appointment scheduling for practices, dispatch and quotes for contractors, and inbox, travel and vendor admin for energy and engineering managers.

What an in-house assistant costs in Houston

Official data puts the median pay for secretaries and administrative assistants in the Houston metro area at $22.48 an hour, or about $46,750 a year (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2025), below the US median of $22.86.

	In-house assistant
Median hourly pay, Houston metro area	$22.48 (US median $22.86)
Median annual pay	$46,750
Employer Social Security and Medicare (7.65%)	$3,576
Salary + employer FICA	$50,326 a year, before benefits, paid leave, equipment, office space and recruiting

A virtual assistant changes the math: you pay for the hours you use, with no payroll taxes, benefits, desk or hiring costs, and a managed service covers holidays and sick days. If you need 10 to 20 hours a week rather than 40, that difference is usually the biggest saving. See virtual assistant cost to estimate yours.
