What is a Virtual Assistant?
[back to VA page] [VA articles]
A Virtual assistant is a contractor, highly skilled in various office, technical and clerical applications who works for you from their own office.
A Virtual Assistant can have a powerful impact on your productivity as a business owner.
Traditionally, we have been known by many names: secretaries, administrative assistants, executive assistants, bookkeepers, or even, simply, "clerks". But in recent years, technology has allowed more and more professionals to work from their homes or in a virtual office themselves, so the assistant has often become virtual as well, and because of the Internet, global!
With today's technology and communication options, whether you are running your business in a rented loft space, your renovated garage, your living room or from your laptop on the beach, nobody but you and your assistant need ever know your assistant isn't sitting at a desk just outside your "corner office with a view"!
Work assignments can be communicated via e-mail, phone, mail and real-time online messaging.
Some benefits of using a Virtual Assistant:
