The all-in-one tool for VAs in Canada
Running a VA business from Canada means juggling international clients, billing in CAD or USD, and keeping your hours clean enough to invoice weekly. Most VAs patch together a time tracker, a spreadsheet, and a free invoice generator — and lose hours every month doing admin instead of billable work.
VA Growth Suite replaces that stack. Track time, manage clients, generate PDF invoices in CAD, and share a private portal with each client — from one simple dashboard that costs less than a daily coffee.
Recommended platforms to find clients in Canada

Local tip
Canadian VAs need to charge GST/HST once revenue exceeds C$30k in any 12-month period.
What VAs in Canada actually need

- Multi-currency invoicing (CAD + USD at minimum)
- A client portal so you don't have to answer "what's the status?" every day
- Task board per client — 5 clients means 5 separate to-do lists, not one big mess
