At BELAY, our people are our culture — and that’s the foundation of everything we do.
Bryan and Shannon Miles founded BELAY and hired Tricia Sciortino as its first employee and Virtual Assistant after recognizing the need for virtual assistant services to help leaders who needed part-time, remote support.
Michael Hyatt, a key influencer in the small business market, became a client after being referred by a pastor client on Twitter. Hyatt’s influence accelerated BELAY’s growth and prompted a shift to serving both churches and the for-profit sector.
BELAY became two brands: EA Help–Focused on virtual assistant services, & MAG Bookkeeping–Offered bookkeeping services. The company was first recognized on the Inc. 5000 list as one of the fastest-growing companies.
Launched Render, a website management and security services brand.
Introduced Ellipsis, a virtual writing company. By the end of the year, BELAY operated five companies with separate websites, financials, and leadership teams.
On January 1, 2017, all five brands were consolidated into one organization under the name BELAY.
In January 2020, founders Bryan and Shannon Miles left the day-to-day operations of BELAY, promoting Tricia Sciortino to CEO. BELAY continued to emphasize its remote-first culture, focusing on shared vision and values rather than shared spaces.
In 2024, BELAY strategically expanded its Accounting Services footprint by acquiring three distinguished CFO/controller companies to deliver scalable, top-tier CFO and controller services.
BELAY has embraced AI to empower its professionals to provide clients with human-driven solutions with AI-enabled efficiencies. By leveraging AI to streamline operations, automate tasks, and deliver real-time insights, BELAY ensures human expertise is amplified by technology, multiplying efficiency and returns while enabling clients to focus on scaling their organizations.
