Hiring a Bookkeeping Virtual Assistant

Do Virtual Assistants make sense?

 

We use washer and dryers because hand washing and hand drying clothes is so time-consuming. Imagine having so much pride in how you wash the clothes that you refuse to buy a washing machine.  That would seem ludicrous in today’s day and age.




 

The administrative side of your job is not that much different.

 

Bookkeeping for example. Bookkeeping is largely the process of importing income and expenses into a table, or a software program.  It’s possible you haven’t outsourced it because you like to be “on top of the numbers”.

 

But what if you outsourced the 90 minutes it takes to do the data entry to a VA. And to stay on top of the numbers, you got from them a 1minute breakdown of your expenses out, income in, account balances, upcoming expenses and projected income?  What if you could cut 89 minutes out of that task and still feel in complete control?

 

Similarly, what if you could cut out the 89 minutes of hand washing your socks and shirts and instead got to feel the heat from the newly washed beach towels as they come out of the dryer. Mmmm. . .  The smell makes you feel like you’re still getting clean clothes. You never have to feel distant from your chores.

 

Another task that is smart to allow a skilled bookkeeping virtual assistant to manage is your inbox. With all the spam, informational updates, emails where you’re politely cc’d, sales announcements from Old Navy, graduation reminders from neighbours and office birthday reminders, a VA could totally transform your inbox experience.

 

Imagine getting a one-page summary of the emails you missed, the emails you need to reply to and where the non-important information emails were categorized for your future needs. Imagine them unsubscribing from everything you don’t want to make your inbox even easier to manage.

 

And imagine never missing a meeting because all such announcements would be put in your synced calendar with the body of the email saved in the “description” of the meeting.

 

There are so many ways to use a bookkeeping virtual assistant to grow your business and income.
