What Is a
Virtual Assistant?
Virtual
Assistants ("VA's") are traditional Administrative Assistants who work
remotely from a home-based office. They use their own equipment, providing
their professional skills to businesses, organizations, or individuals who
require their services. Many can also provide more specialized expertise
in a variety of fields. Most projects are shared back and forth
electronically, by phone or fax. Clients who are local to a VA may also
benefit from face-to-face contact.
What can a Virtual Assistant do
for you?
Here are just some of the ways in which a Virtual
Assistant can help keep you on track:
- Help meet unexpected or large project deadlines
- Complete projects that have been impacted by
company downsizing
- Take on tasks that have fallen behind schedule
- Assist with routine tasks, allowing you to make
better use of your time
- Offset workload fluctuation
- Lend consistency to seasonal, recurring
projects
- Provide specialized knowledge, software or
other expertise that may otherwise be unavailable
- Get extra help for your virtual business or
at-home project
Additional Benefits of using a
Virtual Assistant
- No need to pay taxes, insurance or for other
benefits associated with a regular employee
- Avoid the hassle, expense and unpredictable
nature of hiring temporary, part-time or seasonal help
- No agency fees
- No extra office space, software or equipment
needed
- No need to spend time and money on training
- Get the help you need without breaking your
budget - you pay only for time spent working directly on your project
- The work continues to get done, even when your
company's doors are closed for the day
