FAQs
Q: What is a virtual assistant?
A: A virtual assistant, or VA, is an outsourced, online version of a personal assistant. VAs provide administration and secretarial services as a basis, but many combine their role with that of bookkeeper, social media manager, and web designer and offer much more.
Q: How does a virtual assistant work?
A: Here’s the process we follow:
- 1. We have an initial meeting with potential clients to explore options and find out what they need. Our services are tailored to them.
- 2. We deal with the legal stuff – getting contracts signed and, if needed, non-disclosure agreements.
- 3. We set up systems to ensure our clients get what they need. That could be time slots for managing their emails, software to manage their databases, or scheduling times and brand styles for social media posts.
- 4. We get things done!
