What is a Virtual Assistant?

Virtual Assistants (VAs) are highly skilled professionals who can perform a wide range of office services for multiple clients without ever having to physically visit a client's office. In the traditional office setting, they are often called Administrative Assistants, Coordinators, Executive Assistants and Office Mangers.

Benefits of Hiring a Virtual Assistant

For those small business owners who may work from home themselves, having a VA alleviate the need for office space, equipment, benefits or other resources that would typically go along with a full-time or part-time on-site employee. VAs are able to work independently away from the normal office environment. They can provide a range of services from secretarial to business planning. The list of services really can be endless depending on the VA. They cater to each client's unique needs. They are there for the long-term or they can help you in an overload situation. The versatility of a VA is immense. They work on the details, leaving the client to focus on the big picture.

Full-time Employee vs. a Virtual Assistant

Although a VA can sound more expensive than an employee, when you break it down, the advantage is clear. A business owner does not have to worry about providing office space, employment taxes, Social Security taxes, benefits, vacation/sick time. A customer only pays for the time worked by the VA. Many VA's even offer a discount when you pay for a block of time in advance. A full-time employee receiving typical salary of $36, 000 with an annual bonus can end up costing a company up to $60,000 per year by the time you factor in benefits, office space, sick time, etc.
