Virtual Administrative Services (VAS)
'Freedom to Take Care of Business'
 

What is a Virtual Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant (or VA) is a service provider who specializes in providing administrative support services and works with clients in ongoing, collaborative professional relationships. A Virtual Assistant's support is foundationally administrative, secretarial and clerical in nature.

 

VA's are business owners who work from their own offices and utilize today's technology to deliver their services and communicate with clients.

 

Virtual Assistants come from a variety of business backgrounds, but the single-most important qualification to become a Virtual Assistant is at least five (5) years administrative experience earned in the real (non-virtual) business world working in upper level capacities such as administrative assistant, executive assistant, secretary, legal assistant, paralegal, legal secretary, real estate assistant, office manager, etc.

 

From this level of experience, a VA is expected to possess the skill sets, training and business knowledge which are the hallmark of a truly qualified Virtual Assistant.
