Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Virtual Assistant?
Virtual assistants are highly skilled professionals with tons of practical experience and a knack for productivity. We carry out many of the same one time and ongoing tasks as in-house assistants, but with an exciting and innovative new twist.

We offer many benefits you won’t find with in-house or temporary staff. A Simply Virtual assistant saves you time and money by providing quality administrative support and marketing & design services "from a distance". Plus, we offer long-term and fill the gap solutions, so you only pay for what you need - when you need it.

FAQ iconDo I need any special skills or tools to work with a VA?
If you can type an e-mail or dial a telephone, you can use a Virtual Assistant. Simply Virtual communicates projects or assignments via e-mail, telephone, fax or instant messenger. We also use user-friendly remote software like WebEx PCNow or LogMeIn to securely access files on your computer.

When you submit a request, we work with you to understand the scope of your project or task. Then complete the assignment - usually within 24 hours - and return it for review. Any final adjustments are made per your request and a final doc is forwarded. We are available at your convenience, so you have your project whenever you want it.

Why should I hire an assistant who isn't right here in my office?
Hiring an assistant to help manage your business is one of the most effective ways to increase your productivity. You delegate non-core, high impact tasks and gain time for those that generate income. With Simply Virtual, you also free yourself of the administrative headache involved in hiring and managing employees. For instance, there's no training involved because we're already proficient in most business and real estate productivity softwares.

Why choose Simply Virtual?
Simply Virtual is one of few virtual assistant firms that hires and trains our own team of talented administrative professionals. We deliver a personalized approach by giving you one point of contact, but retain the internal resources and ability to scale up as your business or project grows.

What kinds of work might my Virtual Assistant do?
The beauty of working with a Simply Virtual assistant is that the only things that can't be done are those which actually need to be touched in your office (i.e. paper filing, etc.) Otherwise you're bound only by your imagination, ability to delegate and desire.
