What is a Virtual Assistant?

Virtual Assistants are independent contractors who provide administrative support or specialized business services from a distance, through the Internet, fax, telephone or another method of communication, according to the International Virtual Assistant's Association. They can help a company that needs extra people to meet seasonal demands; provide unique skills for a special project; or step in to meet the demands of business growth, locally, domestically or globally.

What are some of the advantages of working with a Virtual Assistant?

Because Virtual Assistants are self-employed, companies that work with them have the distinct advantage of not having to deal with taxes, unemployment insurance, sick leave, vacation pay, or benefits. Plus, they can benefit from having the support of a professional without the headaches of hiring and managing employees or providing additional office space. Be sure to contact your tax advisor regarding dealings with any freelance workers, as laws differ in each state.

How do you work with your clients?
