Why would you hire a Virtual Assistant?

 A Virtual Assistant (VA) is an administrative assistant who works out of their own office (home-based secretary).  Virtual  Assistants are independent contractors who provide their own  office equipment and computer software.  You get the office/administration support you need without the expense and overhead of an employee.  

What is a Virtual Assistant?   

 Do you tire of listening to office politics or chatting in the break room? Do you tire of long lunch breaks taken by your employees or time off to care for a sick child? By hiring a Virtual Assistant, you have none of that. We are there to get the job done; to assist in the office tasks your company needs completed. Furthermore, you only pay for the time the VA works on the project.  You do not pay for them to sit around the break room or visit with their co-workers across the office!  Virtual Assistants are available at your convenience; part time or full time.  A VA is far more cost effective than a regular employee.  Yes, you might pay a bit more per hour than a full time, in-house employee, BUT, if you take into consideration that you are not paying FICA, state unemployment taxes, Social Security, Health Insurance, vacation time, sick time, 401(k) , profit sharing, Christmas bonus, holiday pay, and other benefits you need to offer a regular employee, a virtual assistant’s wage is much lower than that of a regular employee.  According to Hackett Group, a Hudson (Ohio) consulting firm, outsourcing, in general, can cost 50% less than hiring a full-time (in-house) employee.
