Some people might think "why engage a Virtual Assistant, it is only admin work and I can do that myself" - but don't underestimate the value of a specialist, a virtual assistant is not limited to general administration duties. Think of a Virtual Assistant as a right hand man that can compliment your business and help you meet your professional goals and ambitions.
Just like you you might hire an accountant to do your taxes or accounts, a Virtual Assistant specialises in certain tasks. Sure you could probably complete your accounts if you are not an accountant - but would you lose money that you didn't even realise you were missing because it is not your speciality? Generally a Virtual Assistant has a specialty, education and experience in the relevant industry.
The beauty of a Virtual Assistant is that they allow you to focus on what you specialise in - delivering services for your business. If you are feeling overwhelmed by tasks, or just wish you had more time delivering your services instead of spending 4 hours formatting a presentation, a Virtual Assistant is a viable option. Not only to free up your time, but in most cases a Virtual Assistant could complete a formatting task in half the time or less than it might take you.
The advantage of hiring an assistant on an ad hoc basis also ensures you are employing someone on a project basis instead of full time employment where the employer is responsible for full time wages, super potentially sick leave and annual leave. In the case of a Virtual Assistant you pay only for the time dedicated to your project, thereby reducing your project overall costs.
