About The Squad
At The Side Hustle Squad (TSHS), we help businesses run smoother, scale faster, and stress less.
Since 2019, we’ve supported founders, teams, and busy professionals with personally trained VAs who don’t just complete tasks but also solve problems.

Our Story
Started as a small freelance team determined to prove that great remote talent isn’t about luck, it’s about training, trust, and the right systems.
Today, we’re a growing VA agency based in the Philippines, proudly supporting businesses in construction, healthcare, coaching, and more.
Our Mission, Vision, Core Values

Our Mission
To empower global businesses with agile, personalized virtual support—delivered by a trained, accountable team focused on solutions and long-term success.

Our Vision
To be the most trusted VA agency—known for future-ready talent, long-term partnerships, and setting the standard in remote team support.

Core Values
Results with Care - We focus on outcomes, not just checklists, while always protecting the well-being of our team and the clients we serve.
Train for Impact - We invest in developing VAs who are not only skilled but thoughtful, strategic, and ready to make a real difference.
Client Partnership First - We treat your goals as if they were our own, and we’re here to build lasting, trust-filled relationships, not just complete tasks.
Proactive Accountability - We don’t wait to be told. We take initiative, solve problems early, and own our work with pride.
Empowered Teams Win - We believe VAs do their best work when they feel supported, challenged, and aligned with a purpose bigger than the task list.
Why We Do What We Do?
Because we’ve been the overwhelmed solopreneurs. The overbooked teams. The invisible support behind big wins.
We believe remote work changes lives and we’re proof of it.

“I built TSHS to help business owners stop burning out and to give VAs meaningful work that makes a real difference.”
— Joanne Hagacer, Founder & President
