eVA Playbook: How to choose your VA

Bootstrapping your company was a significant task that took a great deal of effort, patience, and skill.

You probably believed that was the toughest aspect, but you were mistaken: the only thing more difficult than creating something from nothing is running your now-successful company. Understandably, you’d want to hire the best Virtual Assistant for the job, as outsourcing those responsibilities is the sensible course of action.

However, because the individual you employ will be working directly with you, it’s important to pick the ideal Virtual Assistant for you. They’ll also be designing and administering systems that are critical, private, and sensitive to your company – so how can you make sure you pick the right VA for your company and yourself?

The Benefits of Working with a Virtual Assistant

• You don’t need to share your computer with the assistant or set up a second computer for her to use. A VA works with his computers and equipment. Furthermore, you will not need to set up an additional desk in your office for an assistant.
• Instead of paying for a set number of hours each week, you only pay for the hours you utilize with a virtual assistant.

• You can engage a virtual assistant on a retainer to perform a set number of hours per month, ensuring availability. Some virtual assistants operate on a project or hourly basis.
• From qualified QuickBooks specialists to those with graphic, internet, marketing, or technological skills, you can find VAs with specialized skill sets.
• VAs are self-employed and understand what it’s like to be self-employed.
• A virtual assistant is a consultant, not an employee. As a result, you will not be required to pay any employment taxes or benefits to your VA. (You must grasp the differences between workers and subcontractors set forth by the government.)
