What is a Virtual Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant (or VA) is a self-employed skilled professional who works from their own office or home, providing a variety of remote business support services. Utilising today’s technology, a Virtual Assistant works independently and flexibly, away from the traditional office environment.

Education levels of Virtual Assistants (VAs) vary but as a general rule they are normally well educated and have a multitude of hard skills and experience in office management and computer systems and software.

My assistance is ideal for small to medium businesses, business start ups, sole traders, freelancers, charities, community groups and larger companies who have the opportunity to outsource work. I am also available to help with personal matters and projects.

I am not an employee of your company. In fact I am my own small business owner myself. I take pride in working with your company providing an excellent, cost effective resource.

Communication between us is usually by phone, e-mail, instant messaging, fax or post. However, if you are a local business then I can meet with you personally. 

I can provide you with business support on a continual or ad-hoc basis. I have over 17 years office experience in I.T. and secretarial support.
