What is a Virtual Assistant?

Virtual Assistants (also called VAs) are highly skilled professionals who use remote technology to perform administrative, creative and technical services on a contract basis from a home office.

Many busy professionals find themselves wearing most or all the hats in their organization, salesperson, office manager, bookkeeper, graphic designer, IT tech and the list goes on. They spend so much time supporting their business, that they don't have time to focus on the reason they were in business in the first place! VAs provide the support services needed for busy professionals to focus on revenue generating activities.

Using this kind of relationship offers many other benefits for busy professionals. They can have the support they need on a limited or long term basis as business requires. With this kind of relationship staff can be ramped up or scaled back without the overhead involved with full time employees. Virtual assistants can be used to handle overflow work during seasonal or peak periods.
