Support for your next stage of business growth
Tempo Co supports growing businesses across two critical areas: virtual assistant services and marketing.
Our virtual assistant services provide dedicated operational support embedded into your business, without the complexity of hiring, employment, or ongoing performance management sitting with you.
Both our virtual assistant services are delivered through a managed model. That means Tempo Co designs the role, recruits and employs the right people, and oversees delivery, so work moves forward with clear ownership and minimal leadership involvement.
You work directly with your virtual assistant day-to-day. We manage everything around the role to ensure consistency, accountability, and continuity.
Next-Stage VA Support
Structured virtual assistant support that keeps day-to-day operations moving as the business grows.
What this delivers in practice:
- A dedicated virtual assistant working closely with your team, supported and managed through Tempo Co
- Clear ownership of admin and operational workstreams, reducing chasing, rework, and follow-up
- More consistent processes, smoother handovers, and fewer bottlenecks
- Leadership time redirected from task oversight to decision-making and growth priorities
Growth-Aligned Marketing
Marketing strategy and done-for-you social media for businesses entering their next phase of growth.
What this delivers in practice:
- A marketing audit to identify what’s working, what isn’t, and where effort is being wasted
- A defined strategy that sets priorities and removes reactive, ad-hoc decision-making
- Social media planned, executed, and managed in Australia, aligned to agreed direction
- Consistent output and accountability without hiring internally or coordinating multiple providers
Designed for businesses at an inflection point
This model works best for established businesses where growth has created complexity rather than capacity.
It tends to be a strong fit if:
- Too much responsibility still sits with the owner or a small leadership group
- Marketing activity is happening, but without clear ownership or follow-through
- Work requires frequent oversight to keep moving
- Adding headcount feels like more management, not less
-
If you are looking for a more deliberate operating model that reduces friction and clarifies accountability, our virtual assistant services are designed with that stage in mind.
Testimonials from our Clients
I hired a VA to set up some practice management software through Tempo. The experience was brilliant. The VA was responsive, patient (with my lacking IT skills), professional & completed the setup within the agreed timeline. I saved sooo much time & frustration by outsourcing the task. They communicated with me every step of the way, too, which was great. I felt confident and safe hiring through Tempo Co. Will definitely do again for other projects.
I hired a Tempo VA for to help with the launch of my new membership and it was the best decision I ever made! The work they produced was better than I could have done myself (and achieved much more efficiently), which freed me up to work on the areas of the launch that needed me.
I have had such an amazing experience with Tempo Co… Cherry has been the best assistant I could have ever dreamed of… every task I have given her has been done smoothly and efficiently with expertise and professionalism… she has been a great asset to my company and has helped me with jobs that would have taken me weeks to do, she was able to do them in hours or at most a day.
When growth outpaces your operating model
Most businesses reach a point where effort is no longer the limiting factor. Capability exists. Intent is there. What falls behind is structure.
Outsourcing is often introduced as a solution, but without clear ownership and oversight, it tends to increase follow-up rather than reduce it. Leaders stay involved in execution, decisions bottleneck, and confidence in delegation declines.
Our virtual assistant services follow a deliberate, managed structure that allows work to progress with clarity and accountability, without requiring constant leadership intervention.
How Tempo Co removes operational drag
Strategy-led from the outset
We define what gets done, what gets delegated, and what stays with leadership before work begins, so execution aligns to business priorities rather than reacting to noise.
Managed execution, not task delegation
Our virtual assistant services operate within an agreed framework. Work is owned, scheduled, and progressed without constant follow-up, re-briefing, or day-to-day decision-making from you.
Local oversight, global delivery
Strategic direction and quality control sit locally, while delivery is handled by a vetted offshore team, giving you cost efficiency without sacrificing standards.
Built-in accountability
Clear ownership, documented processes, and defined escalation points mean work continues without needing your involvement.

Our process minimises your involvement
Our virtual assistant services and marketing support are designed so work progresses without sitting with leadership.
We clarify what matters
We begin with a focused strategy conversation to understand your business objectives, current pressures, and where support will have the greatest impact. This allows us to identify what should be delegated, what needs structure, and what should remain with leadership.
We set the structure
We recruit and assign the right virtual assistant or marketing support based on your requirements, then run a structured onboarding process. Tools, systems, and workflows are set up so work can begin without repeated briefing or close supervision.
We put support in place
Delivery is supported through regular check-ins and performance oversight. Virtual assistant support is embedded within your team, while marketing services are delivered on a done-for-you basis, reducing the need for hands-on management.
We manage delivery
Delivery is overseen for you through regular check-ins, performance reviews, and ongoing support. Adjustments are made as needed to ensure work continues to meet expectations, while you remain informed without needing to manage the day-to-day.

Built by people who know what it’s like to run the business
Tempo Co is a team of people who understand what it’s like to carry too much.
We work with growing businesses at the point where delegation should be freeing things up, but often does the opposite. More coordination. More checking. More follow-up. Less space to lead. This is usually when businesses start looking for virtual assistant services, but discover that outsourcing alone does not solve the problem.
Tempo Co was founded by Rochelle Bacon, a marketing leader and business owner who has spent years inside fast-moving organisations, including building, scaling, and selling her own businesses. She’s been responsible for growth, while also being buried in execution. She knows firsthand how quickly momentum stalls when structure doesn’t keep pace with ambition.
That experience shapes how we deliver our virtual assistant services and marketing support today.
Rochelle leads Tempo Co alongside a hands-on operations team based in Australia, supported by experienced virtual assistants and marketing specialists in the Philippines.
Our virtual assistants are degree-qualified professionals with prior VA experience, recruited for judgement, initiative, and reliability. They work directly with clients as part of their teams, while being supported, paid fairly, and managed properly behind the scenes.
We believe good support works when people feel trusted, roles are clear, and accountability doesn’t sit with the client. That’s why we focus on managed models, ethical hiring, and long-term fit, rather than quick placements or surface-level outsourcing.
Behind every engagement is a real team, real people, and real oversight, so you can delegate with confidence and get back to leading the business.

If you’re at a point where better structure would materially improve how your business operates, the next step is a short discovery call.
This conversation is designed to assess fit, clarify priorities, and determine whether structured support would remove pressure rather than add complexity.
Frequently asked questions
What does Tempo Co do?
Tempo Co provides managed virtual assistant services and outsourced marketing support, pairing Australian-based oversight with experienced offshore virtual assistants in the Philippines. We handle recruitment, onboarding, HR, payroll, and ongoing support, so you can delegate with confidence and minimal involvement.
Do you support marketing as well as admin?
Yes. In addition to admin support, we provide marketing assistance through virtual assistants and offer a standalone marketing audit and social media management service for businesses that need clearer direction and consistent execution.
What makes Tempo Co different from other virtual assistant agencies?
Our admin support covers the operational work that often sits with owners and leadership teams, including inbox and calendar management, document preparation, reporting, CRM updates, and day-to-day coordination. Tasks are delivered within a managed framework to reduce follow-up and interruptions.
Where are your virtual assistants based?
Most of our offshore virtual assistants are based in the Philippines and work standard daytime business hours. All support is delivered within a structured framework, with local Australian oversight to ensure quality and alignment with your business goals.
Do I get local support in Australia?
Yes. Every client is supported by an Australian-based Client Success Manager who oversees delivery, supports onboarding, and is a point of accountability. Your virtual assistant is also supported by a team leader and internal support team.
How does the recruitment process work?
Recruitment is customised based on your business needs, systems, and goals. We shortlist suitable candidates, summarise their experience and strengths, and invite you to participate in final interviews if you wish.
How long does it take to hire a virtual assistant?
The recruitment process typically takes 2 weeks. Because we recruit specifically for your requirements, timelines may vary, but the focus is always on fit rather than speed.
What’s the difference between a full-time and part-time virtual assistant?
A full-time virtual assistant works 40 hours per week, while a part-time virtual assistant works 20 hours per week. Hours are agreed upfront and aligned to your business needs, with all work completed during daytime business hours.
What’s the difference between a virtual assistant package and a done-for-you marketing package?
A virtual assistant package provides you with a dedicated VA who works closely with your team on day-to-day administrative and marketing tasks. You direct the work and collaborate with your VA as you would an internal team member, while Tempo Co manages recruitment, employment, onboarding, and ongoing performance support.
A done-for-you marketing package is different. We take ownership of delivery, beginning with a marketing audit and strategy, then managing social media execution end-to-end. This means marketing progresses without you needing to brief, manage, or oversee the work on a daily basis.
Both models are designed to reduce load, but they suit different needs depending on how hands-on you want to be and where you need support.
Is the virtual assistant my employee?
Tempo Co remains the employer of record. We manage payroll, leave, HR, benefits, and compliance. Your virtual assistant is assigned exclusively to your business and operates as an extension of your team.
How do payments work?
Payments are simple and predictable. You receive one monthly invoice, which is direct-debited from your nominated account. We manage exchange rates, international payments, leave entitlements, public holidays, and all HR administration.
What if the virtual assistant isn’t the right fit?
If an issue arises, we work with you and the virtual assistant to resolve it. If the fit still isn’t right, we provide a replacement at no additional cost and offer cover while recruitment is underway.
Can I hire more than one virtual assistant?
Yes. Many clients scale their support over time by adding additional virtual assistants as their business grows. We help structure roles and responsibilities so support remains effective and manageable.
Do you support both marketing tasks and administrative tasks?
Yes. Our virtual assistant services include both administrative and marketing support. We also offer marketing audits, strategy, and done-for-you social media, managed in Australia, for businesses that need clearer direction and execution without hiring internally.
Do you offer a referral program?
Yes. We work with trusted partners, coaches, and business networks and also accept word-of-mouth referrals. Referral partners receive bonuses or rewards as a thank you.
