✅ What Is a Virtual Assistant?

A virtual assistant is a consultant professional who provides remote administrative, technical, or creative support to businesses. Think of them as your right-hand support — but without the cost or commitment of hiring a full-time employee.

 

✅ Tasks a Virtual Assistant Can Handle

Here’s a breakdown of the most common tasks small business owners delegate to VAs:

1. Administrative Support

  • Email management
  • Scheduling appointments
  • Organizing digital files                                 
  • Data entry

2. Client Communication

  • Responding to inquiries
  • Follow-up emails
  • Sending invoices
  • Managing CRM systems

3. Social Media & Marketing

  • Creating and scheduling posts
  • Engaging with followers
  • Content repurposing
  • Email newsletter creation

4. Bookkeeping & Invoicing

  • Simple bookkeeping tasks
  • Expense tracking
  • Creating and sending invoices
  • Following up on payments
