Hello there,
My name is Sarah Harvey and I have worked in administration for over twenty years. I am an accredited Virtual Assistant based in Buckinghamshire in the UK and I can help you to eliminate the stress of running your own business.
I absolutely LOVE to organise!
I love helping people and organisation is my thing (along with stationery, I love stationery!) There's nothing better than the feeling you get when everything is in it's place and you're all organised.
I have worked as a Secretary and a PA for Directors and Senior Management in the financial and construction sectors and I was often seconded to look after the MD in the absence of their PA too.
The fact that I was able to organise everything around the people I worked for so that all they had to do was concentrate on doing their job to the best of their ability, was a real buzz! It was lovely to be trusted with those duties and they knew I wouldn't let them down.
For the last 7 years I have worked as a Business Manager for a local educational setting. I pretty much do a bit of everything(!) Inbox, calendar management, day to day treasury, social media support and assisting the manager, staffing team and management committee in running a not-for-profit charitable organisation.
Now I am enjoying running my own Virtual Assistant venture helping small businesses, like yourselves, to take the stress out of their day-to-day administration.
I want to take all of that hassle off your hands so you can focus on building your business and making it great for you and your family.
When there is any spare time, I really enjoy pottering in my garden and I've recently taken up yoga which is great for de-stressing!
Why Hire a Virtual Assistant?
My costs are so much cheaper compared with hiring a permanent member of staff. For a start, I run my own business and therefore I pay my own tax, insurances, software licences and training. You won't have to pay me for days I'm unwell or for my pension contributions or the cost of running my payroll. You just pay for the work I do as an hourly rate starting as ad-hoc work.
If you felt like you needed more of a guaranteed number of hours over the course of a month, then a retainer package may be better suited to you, payable in advance. Choose the package with the amount of hours required and straight away you have the comfort of knowing that you have my time booked and dedicated to you throughout the month. No hours can be carried over until the next month.
We can work together on the amount of hours you need and how we can adapt this to suit your workload so it's totally flexible and adaptable.
