What is a Virtual Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant provides clients with administrative services. These services include everything you would expect from an in-house executive assistant, and most times a whole lot more. Using a Virtual Assistant eliminates costly business expenses such as payroll taxes, insurance, office space and equipment – just to name a few! Virtual Assistants bill only for actual time worked saving you thousands of dollars each year!


Virtual Assistants work from their own offices, they use their own equipment and provide services to small businesses, entrepreneurs, executives, and busy individuals who need assistance with the daily operation of their businesses.

Virtual Assistant assignments are usually handled via phone, fax and e-mail. Virtual Assistants are enabling professionals to spend more time on money generating activities and less time on the administrative aspects of the business.

The benefits of working with Virtual Assistants greatly outnumber the benefits of hiring an in-house assistant. For instance, here are a few ways that you can save money using a Virtual Assistant: Pay only for time worked on a project – not a 40 hour week! No insurance, source deductions, WCB, EI, medical or other related benefits. No office space required! NO training required in most cases!
