What is a Virtual Assistant?
A virtual assistant is a remote worker who provides a wide range of services to businesses, from administrative tasks, bookkeeping, and accounting to social media management, project management, and research. By hiring a virtual assistant, businesses can access specialized skills, save costs, and have the flexibility to focus on core business activities.
• A virtual assistant is contracted to perform various tasks for a client within a set number of hours a month agreed upon between the client and the virtual assistant.
• It’s important to note that because a virtual assistant has a set number of hours to complete tasks and has other clients they are working for, a virtual assistant is not available to respond to a client immediately or be readily available as an office manager or executive administrator would be in a full-time employed office setting.
• There is little to no overhead involved, and little training expense, since their work will be limited to a few concrete tasks performed repeatedly.
• It is important to find a virtual assistant you can trust and who takes your business and information seriously and securely!
