What is a Virtual Office Administrator?
A Virtual Office Administrator provides professional services to business owners. With today’s technology, they no longer have to be present in person to accomplish tasks traditionally done by an employee.
Virtual Office Administrators are independent entrepreneurs who work from their own offices or homes, and provide business owners with administrative, creative and technical services. These services are provided online, and by email, fax, telephone and mail/courier.
Virtual Office Administrators are also known as VA’s, Virtual Admins, and Virtual Assistants.
What services can a Virtual Office Administrator provide virtually?
Most administrative tasks traditionally performed by an employee, can be performed by a Virtual Office Administrator. Specialized services such as marketing, event planning, desktop publishing, and even technical services can be out-sourced to a Virtual Office Administrator.
Why hire a Virtual Office Administrator instead of an employee?
Statistics show an employee’s actual productive hours are 5.5 out of the 8 hour day you pay for. Plus you would have the overhead costs of office space, equipment, software and training, as well as the extra employment costs of benefits, government tax withholding, sick days, holidays and vacations.
As an independent business professional, a Virtual Office Administrator is responsible for all of these costs without you having to put any time or effort into them. Also, you only pay for the hours actually worked. A Virtual Office Administrator is already trained and with minimal input from you, they can supply the services you need in most areas.
Minimize your costs:
- A Virtual Office Administrator is an independent contractor. They work from their own home or office. They provide their own equipment and software and take care of their own benefits, tax deductions, sick days and vacations.
Maximize your potential:
- With a Virtual Office Administrator you will be able to free up your time to spend it on growing your business or enjoying your family. Quite often, doing the administrative tasks associated with your business means taking time from your core business or quality time with your family.
