Are you fighting a losing battle with your paper work?

Feel like you’re spending too many hours just trying to organise the office instead of getting out and doing the business?

Is your business running you, instead of you running your business?

Are you always saying "I never seem to get enough done, there are never enough hours in the day"?

If you answered yes to any of the above then you need a virtual assistant.

What is a Virtual Assistant?                                                                                                             

A Virtual Assistant (typically abbreviated to V.A., also called a virtual office assistant) is an entrepreneur who provides professional administrative, technical, or creative (social) assistance to clients from a home office. With a full range of options to choose from, you can customize your remote administrative service to meet your exact needs.

That’s right, think of the benefits:

• You don’t need to spend time placing adverts and then sorting through C.V.s to hire someone, and its cheaper and quicker than hiring a temp.
• No need to be an employer, calculate holiday pay, sick leave and PAYE tax.
• No need to find space for someone else in your office.
• No need to have specialised computer knowledge or programmes.
• You can choose the number of hours of assistance to suit your needs each week, instead of having to pay an employee the same wages week in week out even when you’re not busy.
• You get to maximise your earning potential by concentrating on your area of expertise, instead of administration tasks.
  
• You will get only the services you need from an experienced professional assistant.

Pre-Quoted Time:                                                                                                                                    Use the flexitime button below and when you get to the shopping cart enter the quantity of hours quoted.

Flexitime: at $29.00 per hour.                                                                                 Book an hour as and when you need help, email us your work and we will complete as much as possible in the one hour. This does not guarantee that we will be immediately available to complete tasks but we will endeavour to work within you time commitments.

For clients who want longer-term partnership we offer two package deals:

Eight hours per month (average of two hours per week) 5% discount.

Sixteen hours per month (average of four hours per week) 5% discount.

This way you can retain our time, paid in advance every month, ensuring we are available to meet your needs (specific time slots each week cannot be guaranteed e.g. Monday morning).  Any additional hours needed are billed at the flexitime rate; however any unused hours do not roll over to the next month. The added benefit to being a regular client is that we can get to know how your business works, so we can tailor what we do specifically to your business thus providing the best service for you. We become part of your team, working with you to help your business grow.

If you have a rush job please email us to check our availability (there may be an extra charge for urgent requests) and to obtain a quote. Also if there is a service you require that you don't see listed please email us and we will see if we can help you.

Important Points:                                                                                       

By working virtually, there are no geographical boundaries. If you are from the UK or USA you may enjoy the added benefit that your office work can be completed while you sleep. Because of the time difference where we are currently based in New Zealand you could wake up to find all your tasks completed and waiting for you in the morning. Be assured you are working with V.A.s for whom English is a first language.

Final proofreading and document approval is the responsibility of the client.

Expenses: Any expenses incurred, specific to the operation of a client's business (e.g. postage, letterhead, stationery, office supplies specific to the client's needs, etc.), are billed to the client. Note: Normal daily office supplies and equipment are The BizAssist's responsibility and expense; they are not billed to the client.

Please note that like the rest of the services The BizAssist offers, the V.A. services are targeted towards individuals, sole traders or small business. We don’t cater to large corporations.
