What Is a Virtual Assistant?
A Virtual Assistant (VA) is an independent contracted professional, not an employee, who works hand in hand with clients to help them with their business needs. Virtual Assistants are usually business owners who provide administrative and business support services to other businesses and organizations on an as-needed or ongoing basis.
Communication and services with clients are done primarily through phone, email, online, fax or mail. Services are performed offsite (virtually) at the VA's location. Occasionally a VA may visit a client's office (your onsite location) to pick-up/deliver items or arrange necessary elements of a service.
