Frequently Asked Questions

Q:	What is a Virtual Assistant (VA)?

A:	A Virtual Assistant (or VA), is an independent contractor providing virtual administrative support to clients from their own remote office rather than as an on-site employee. Clients delegate office support tasks to a Virtual Assistant (VA), just as they would to an on-site Administrative Assistant. The list of possible tasks your professional Virtual Assistant (VA) can accomplish is limitless. Common tasks that are preformed by a Virtual Assistant (VA) includes office support in the areas of marketing, general accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, human resources, typing, presentations, desktop publishing, website maintenance, customer support, transcription, form creation, research, writing, editing, event planning, and a variety of other computer related administrative services.

Q:	How is working with a Virtual Assistant (VA) more economical than hiring a temporary or regular employee?

		You pay only for time spent on your task.
		There are no employee-related taxes. This is a lage cost with a regular employee.
