Virtual Personal Assistance

If you’re struggling with time or need an extra pair of hands, why not contact us to see how we can be your superhero!

Running your own business can be lonely and stressful at times, we are on hand and ready to support the new wave in business demand.

The key to achieving our goals is to work smarter, not harder. When you constantly evaluate your work life routine, you can identify when you are becoming overwhelmed with never-ending tasks and to-do lists. So, stop being busy. As a business owner, you need time to think about the company’s direction and vision and to lead your team to success. If you’re the intermediary, you’re liable to become a bottleneck and stall your business’s growth. Outsourcing will help support and grow your business, allowing you to deliver high quality results.

You receive a professional service but on a flexible basis to meet your needs and budget.

Each Venice Virtual VA is highly qualified and skilled, making the transition to working with our team seamless, efficient and effective.

The advantages we provide over other VA agencies are our wide range of cost-effective tailored services from arranging corporate events to business meetings to product launches to staging something for the gram or managing your next Instagram campaign and more. We work closely with our clients and are passionate about your business growth – your success matters to us and we want to be part of that journey.

Virtually your fourth emergency service – tell us where it hurts, we’ll make it go away!

Services

We know how to get the best results for your business, providing you with the essential support and alleviating the stresses so you can focus on what you do best. You can free up your time and save money by taking advantage of our wide range of services. Among them are:

#SOCIALMEDIA

Learn how to navigate the world of social media rather than getting lost in it, 200k following sounds great, but do you really need #cutedogsinteacups in your community? Through our specialised approach, we will work with you to achieve your business goals. This will enable us to achieve the maximum performance for your campaign within the context of your brand and social media strategy. In the evolving landscape of advertising, social media is more than a status update. It is part of a broader marketing and sales funnel. Let us help you drive your social media campaign to the next level.

Our objective is to make your event seamless, enjoyable and stress free, so you can have an event to remember for all the right reasons.

BUSINESS SUPPORT

Are you looking for a few extra hours in the day or an extra day in the week? We hear ya!!! Is your small business or organisation juggling tasks that could be delegated so that you can focus on more strategic goals? Whatever you need, Venice Virtual can help you take back the time and resources you need to concentrate on your business: easing the strain by taking on the additional tasks that are so significant but are such a distraction from what you really want to do!

PA/EA SUPPORT

Maintaining business operations is time-consuming. Outsourcing your business needs allows you to focus on what you do best - bringing in customers. With additional support, business owners can concentrate on their company’s vision and direction. They can be confident that the tasks they have outsourced will be handled expertly and to the highest standard.

BOOKKEEPING & PROJECT SUPPORT

Keeping accurate financial records and staying on top of your operational processes are crucial. However, keeping track of business operations is time-consuming - outsourcing your financial business needs means you can focus on bringing in customers instead of managing operations.   Instead of worrying about something that feels like a chore, you can put your energy into running your business. As a business owner, that additional help will allow you to take more time for yourself. This will, in turn, help you become more productive, more motivated and more creative.

LIFESTYLE SUPPORT

Do you struggle with finding the time to strike a better work-life balance, spend more quality time with your family or friends, or meet other responsibilities? We need to recognize that we have to work smarter, not harder, and constant evaluation of your work-life routine will tell you when you are becoming overwhelmed with a never-ending list of tasks.  Outsourcing allows you to focus on other important key areas in your life, giving you more time to focus on your mental health. Our team understands the importance of this, and we can help!
