As a business owner, you’re no stranger to outsourcing.
You probably already rely on an accountant to manage your finances and keep things in check.
But have you ever thought about how much more time you could free up if you also outsourced your admin?
That’s where a Virtual Assistant (VA) comes in.
Hi, I’m a professional Virtual Assistant based in the beautiful Bedfordshire countryside, supporting small businesses across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, and beyond. With over 20 years of experience in administration and personal assistant roles, including working with directors, school leaders, and even the Ministry of Defence, I now work remotely, helping business owners just like you reclaim their time and get back to what they do best.
Running a business is no small feat. Between client meetings, delivering services, and managing finances, the admin can quickly pile up.
Emails, diary management, reports, chasing suppliers, it all needs doing, but it doesn’t all need to be done by you.
Many people I speak to had never even heard of a Virtual Assistant before we started working together. But the concept is simple: think of a VA as your remote PA; professional, reliable, and ready to support your business from afar.
So, why should you consider working with a Virtual Assistant?
- Save on overheads – No need for extra office space or equipment. VAs work remotely using their own tools.
- No employment obligations – A VA is self-employed, so you don’t need to worry about tax, NI, pension contributions or holiday pay.
- Only pay for what you need – Whether you need 5 hours or 20, most VAs offer flexible monthly packages or ad hoc support. Time is tracked so you know you’re getting real value.
- Flexible support – While we work agreed hours, many VAs can assist with occasional out-of-hours tasks when things crop up unexpectedly.
- We’re invested in your success – As small business owners ourselves, our reputation matters. Client satisfaction is everything.
Whether it’s creating smoother systems, setting up automations, handling inboxes, or managing customer data, a VA can help you streamline your operations so you can focus on growing your business, or just getting a little bit more balance in your life.
And with today’s superfast internet and cloud-based collaboration tools, working with a VA feels just like having someone in the office next door – without the added costs or commitment.
Think about it…
You already outsource your accounting because you know the value of expert help. Imagine how much more time and headspace you could gain by outsourcing your admin too.
