What is a VA?

A VA is a Virtual Assistant who provides secretarial services from their own home or office remotely via the internet, mail, telephone or fax, using their own equipment, as and when you need them. 

Some people think that a VA is a telephone answering service.  Although that can be one of the services offered, a VA is much more than that.

We provide an invaluable practical solution for independent professionals and small business owners, freeing up your valuable time, allowing you to focus on growing your business or on all those other tasks that are important, and leaving the administrative chores to someone more experienced.   And because we only invoice you for hours worked or tasks completed, you get all the benefits of outsourcing, without the liabilities of tax and benefits issues.  All charges are usually invoiced monthly in arrears and are fully tax-deductible.

Assignments for work are communicated through the internet, e-mail, telephone, fax or post, and there are a multitude of different web-based tools available which make it even easier for a client and a VA to stay in touch.

Your business could benefit from the multitude of skills and services an experienced Executive PA can offer, for a fraction of the cost of a temp or permanent employee, whilst leaving you to generate new business. 

Your business is unique and you’ve worked hard to get it where it is today.  We aim to become an indispensable member of your team, providing real value for money as we tailor our services to suit your needs, thereby making your life a lot easier. If you find that there are not enough hours in the day and you’re getting snowed under by administrative tasks, why not give us a try and give yourself a break?

Our business depends on referrals and steady repeat work from existing clients, so it is to our benefit to provide you with the best possible service and add value to your business.

I welcome the chance to answer any questions you may have.
