Now that you see how versatile virtual assistants can be, let’s go over the various advantages of using one.

Frees Up Your Time

Time is one of your most precious assets as a business owner. As such, it is imperative that you use it wisely. If you’re not careful, menial tasks can overwhelm you to the point where you lose sight of the big picture. And therein lies one of the key benefits of using a virtual assistant: when you outsource the little stuff, you have more time and energy to devote to the things that truly matter.

Cuts Costs

As accountants (virtual accountants at that!), we’re all about finding cost-effective solutions to your problems. And in this case, a virtual assistant will cost you a fraction of what it would to hire an in-house employee. Much of that is due to the fact that your virtual assistant works remotely, meaning you won’t have to pay for any of the overhead costs that you normally would with an in-house employee (such as utility and electricity bills). Their remote status also affords you the opportunity to hire someone from overseas, where wages are significantly lower.

Saves Space

Speaking of remote work, think of all the space you’ll save! An off-site employee means you don’t need to provide an office, chair, desk, or computer! Phew!

Minimizes Employee Obligations

Since virtual assistants are classified as independent contractors, you don’t need to provide benefits, like paid time-off, medical coverage, or 401(k)s. This also means they are responsible for their own taxes, which is a huge weight off your shoulders.
