Virtual Assistant
A Virtual Assistant is a freelance professional working alongside your company on an “as required” basis from their own office environment. Varied in skills, they take on tasks ranging from the menial to the complicated, allowing you the opportunity to concentrate on other aspects of your business.
Used to balancing a variety of tasks, Virtual Assistants are extremely organised and flexible in their approach. The position of a Virtual Assistant can be quite a complex role as it invariably involves a number of different tasks being offered to a client by one or more individuals. The tasks themselves are only limited by the client’s requirements and usually involves some form of administration, secretarial or customer service based responsibilities.
These tasks can include typing, general administration and secretarial services, book keeping, responding to email or customer service enquiries, arranging of appointments, website maintenance, placing orders or undertaking general research tasks.
As the Virtual Assistant works from their own space, there is no requirement to purchase any additional office equipment to fund your growing office. There are no minimum pay hours to be met and you need only pay for the time your assistant spends working on the specific tasks. As they are essentially self employed, a Virtual Assistant eliminates the Employer’s requirement to pay tax or any other benefits often associated with hiring staff.
The internet, email and other online communication services such as instant messaging and online telephone conferencing can reduce the distance between that of your office and your Virtual Assistant. There is no requirement for your assistant to be located in a nearby town, or even in your country, for them to be able to effectively perform the tasks that will enable your business to run smoothly.
