Our Service |
We are
looking for a long-term relationship. A a
relationship where what's key is that you and your
VA form a partnership (in the relationship sense,
not the legal!) that is ongoing and consistent. A
relationship where you communicate and work
together all the time. A relationship where your
VA is involved in your business and life in a
strategic way, not in a transactional way. We
value working with you and tasks of today need to
be handled, but there should also be a desire to
watch your goals as well as support you in
achieving them more easily and quickly than you
could have alone.
We do not do piecework, project work, or only
assist with one area of your business (like
bookkeeping, accounting, marketing, etc.).
If you only want help with
marketing, for instance, or bookkeeping, or help
with an Internet newsletter, then you want a
marketing consultant, bookkeeper, or Internet
writer/publisher, respectively. If, on the other
hand, you want someone to assist you with most/all
aspects of your business and/or life, and are
interested in working with a VA in a long-term,
collaborative relationship, we can help you.
When you're sure that looking for a VA is the
right step for you, complete the quote form as
completely as possible. This will help us better
assess your needs.
