Q.
What is a Virtual Assistant?
A. The Virtual Assistant (or "VA") is an independent
contractor who provides business support without being physically
present in your office. Technological advancements have made it possible to
perform support services from remote locations via the internet
and other means of electronic communication.
Q.
What is the difference
between a virtual assistant and an office assistant?
A. Virtual
assistants are entrepreneurs who partner with you to achieve your goals. In addition to clerical skills,
many VAs can provide a wider variety of services than the
traditional assistant, by incorporating desktop publishing,
website design, internet research, writing or other specialty
skills. It also allows us to specialize in the areas we find most
interesting. Virtually Everything
specializes in wordsmithing and graphic design. Check
out our available
services
for a complete listing of our offerings.
Another important distinction between a VA and an office assistant
is that the office assistant is an employee whom you must pay
taxes and provide benefits for, in addition to office space,
furniture, equipment and software. The VA is an
independent contractor responsible for for payment of their own
taxes and benefits, and so forth.
