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.
