As "Freelance PA", I work from my home office as a “virtual assistant” (VA), and as an independent contractor I can provide almost any administrative or secretarial service used in a normal office environment. 

Using email, fax, couriers and postal services, you can be located anywhere, and still have the convenience of secretarial support when you need it.

4 Why use virtual assistance?

• Entrepreneurs, associations, professionals, executives – anyone who wants to spend their time doing what they do best, or maximise the value of office support expenditure, can benefit by using a VA.  

• Avoiding associated costs of an employee, you only pay for time I spend on your work, which means 100% productivity. 

• An employee can cost you more than twice their salary in the associated costs, such as holiday pay, hiring a temp to cover holiday, sick leave, superannuation, idle time etc.

• No need to supply office furniture, computer, phone line, or floor space.

• Using virtual assistance rather than a temp gives you continuity of assistance, and the flexibility to use as little time as you need.  Most temping agencies stipulate a minimum of 4 hours each time you hire a temp - you can avoid this, yet still have the assistance you need.

• By choosing a VA you feel comfortable with, your secretarial and administrative needs can be taken care of, leaving you free to focus on what you do best.

4 Would you like time to concentrate on doing what you do best?

If you're an independent, solo or home-based operator, it's likely you'll want to spend your valuable time on income-generating activity.  It's a better use of your time. 

Why spend time tangling with typing, fighting with formatting or poring over proofreading when you could be servicing a client with your intellectual expertise?  Working with Freelance PA when you need to can free you up to do that!

4 Do you have employees who need help with extra workload?  

If you employ administration staff, fluctuating business demands can make it hard to ensure you have enough administrative assistance. 

It's easy to outsource your overload, and this ensures you can provide your usual high standard of service to your clients.  Working with Freelance PA means you can have extra secretarial support for as much or as little time as you need it.
