What is a Virtual Assistant?
A Virtual Assistant is an independent contractor that will partner with clients
to offer professional secretarial & clerical support on an ongoing or
as-needed basis. A virtual assistant generally works
from their home
office, but may be flexible within their local area.
Businesses
can benefit in many ways by delegating administrative functions to a virtual
assistant.
- A virtual assistant will free up valuable time for
their clients saving them both time and money.
- Clients pay only for hours
worked, and can utilize a virtual assistant regularly or on an as-needed basis. A
virtual assistant is
there when you need them.
