WHAT IS A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT? According to the International Virtual Assistant Association "A Virtual Assistant (VA) is an independent entrepreneur providing administrative, creative and/or technical services. Utilizing advanced technological modes of communication and data delivery, a professional VA assists clients in his/her area of expertise from his/her own office on a contractual basis." By being responsible for virtual office services, a Virtual Assistant allows the business owner to concentrate on those core areas that will grow the business more efficiently. Virtual office services often take twice as long for the business professional to accomplish because it simply is not their area of expertise. So why not let someone else do it for you? Who Could Use a Virtual Assistant? Anyone who is spending more of their time handling the logistics of their business instead of building their business is ready to have a Virtual Assistant in their lives. There are many people in a variety of industries and business environments who use Virtual Assistants - Consultants, Coaches, Professional Speakers, CPAs, Attorneys, Writers, Photographers, Therapists, Financial Planners, Real Estate Agents – the list is virtually endless.
