Many people hear the term Virtual Assistant (VA) and either have no idea what it means or picture someone online, mysteriously fixing things on the internet. However, what exactly do Virtual Assistants do? Let’s explore.
Virtual Assistants handle a wide range of tasks. The most common services include inbox and diary management for senior executives, but the role has expanded significantly.
Today, VAs also offer social media management, bookkeeping, proofreading, customer support, and much more. In fact, if a business needs it, chances are a Virtual Assistant can either do it or help find someone who can.
However, not all VAs are the same. Some are qualified, insured, and registered with tax authorities, while others may not be—so it’s important to ask the right questions when hiring.
To help you get started, I’ve included a graphic you can use when considering outsourcing. Many VAs are more affordable than specialised agencies for services like accounting and web design, while still being highly skilled. Plus, since many work remotely, they don’t pass on office rental costs to you in their hourly rates.
