Fancy Hands has done massive amounts of research for my latest book and I'll admit it feels pretty bad-ass to have an army of on-demand assistants ready to do my bidding.

I'm Fancy Hands' biggest fan. As a business owner and single mom, there's no time for appointment scheduling, research, or other home-related tasks. Before Fancy Hands, stuff just didn't get done -- even important doctor checkups. Now I use it almost daily and it saves me hours.

About Fancy Hands

Fancy Hands is a team of US-based virtual assistants ready to start working with you today. Whether you need a dedicated assistant or you want to delegate the occasional task, Fancy Hands is here for you. The company was founded by Ted Roden, a former technologist for The New York Times, who developed the service in June 2009 shortly after his wife gave birth to their first child. He needed help with day-to-day minutiae like scheduling baby sitters and resolving problems with his cable bill. Fancy Hands is the fastest, most affordable virtual assistant service in the US. The company specializes in tasks that don't require physical presence - anything a smart, patient, internet-savvy person with a cell phone can accomplish. Services range from time-consuming research and administrative tasks to finding local services, making restaurant reservations, managing schedules and travel itineraries, recommending activities, and handling returns, exchanges, and customer service calls. The team at Fancy Hands includes Founder Ted Roden, CEO Joshua Boltuch, Art Director David Trawin, Community Support Manager Lindsay Fisher, and virtual assistants located throughout the United States. The company also operates ODO, an enterprise division built to service large-scale business needs in lead generation, back office operations, data processing, and recruiting. Fancy Hands has been featured in major publications including The New York Times, Forbes, Slate, Fast Company, Mashable, and was named one of Time Inc's 10 Startups to Watch.
