Where we work
Remote everywhere. On site where it counts.
VSF has worked remotely with clients across the country since 2007, and the week-to-week work happens over video and shared documents no matter where you are. Distance still matters for one thing: how easily we can be in the room when that's genuinely the right call. These markets are grouped by drive time from Oshkosh, so you know exactly what to expect before you ask.
