Hiring IT people in Seattle means bidding against Amazon and Microsoft. A network and systems administrator in the Seattle metro averaged $112,580 a year in May 2025, about $9,000 above the national figure, and an information security analyst averaged $162,580, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's before benefits, and it buys one person who takes vacations. Fully managed IT gets you a whole team for the work that person would carry alone.
Security in the Base Plan
Endpoint protection, patching, multi-factor login, and around-the-clock monitoring come with the agreement from day one. They aren't a line item you add after a scare.
Someone Who Owns the Budget
A vCIO is a part-time technology executive you share instead of hire. Yours builds the hardware refresh schedule and next year's IT budget with you, in numbers your controller can use.
People Who Pick Up
An assistant at a Los Angeles entertainment management company summed up their project on Clutch in one line: "They were very quick to respond and support."
An Exit After Year One
Agreements run 3 years, with an opt-out after the first year on 60 days' notice.
