As discussed in our last blog, a virtual assistant may save you time, but did you know they can also save you money? Check out that blog if you haven’t already.

Virtual assistants, or VAs, may help you with everything from arranging your virtual office to maintaining bookkeeping records. When you spend time on the day-to-day operations of your business, you are taking time away from what generates money. A virtual assistant can help you save money, like they can help you save time.

These are a few examples of how a virtual assistant may save you time and money:

• A virtual assistant can handle your business travel plans, allowing you to focus on revenue-generating activities.
• A virtual assistant can manage your accounts, payables, and receivables, saving you hours each month that would otherwise be spent on paperwork and attempting to sort things out yourself.
• A VA may handle things like inventory management and ordering office supplies to be delivered to your workplace, wherever it may be, so instead of wasting time doing this yourself, you can spend your valuable time (not to mention your hourly rate) doing what pays for those things.

When you consider how much time you spend doing just these few things versus how much time you could spend doing what inspired you to start your business in the first place, you can see where you are missing out on new clients or more sales, not to mention the time you lose with your family, friends, or even just taking care of yourself, which cannot be quantified.

Stay tuned for our upcoming blog, discussing how a virtual assistant may help you polish your pitch in letters, marketing materials, and more.
