One of the most common ways a VA can help is by taking charge of your email. Gone are the days of dreading your inbox - your VA will keep everything organised, respond to routine inquiries, and flag or forward important messages that need following up.  

Virtual assistants can also assist with data entry, research and writing tasks. Things like inputting information into databases, updating spreadsheets, preparing reports and presentations, conducting market research, and writing blog posts and articles.  

You can also delegate many miscellaneous administrative tasks to a virtual assistant. Things like booking travel, making purchases, and organising gifts and personal appointments. They can also help with event planning and coordination, which involves tasks such as coordinating vendors, preparing budgets, and managing invitations.  

In addition to admin tasks, virtual assistants with experience in bookkeeping can also assist with managing your accounts and payroll. This includes tasks such as tracking expenses, reconciling accounts, and preparing financial statements. VAs who are experienced with accounting software such as Xero can provide added value by streamlining these processes, making them more efficient and accurate.
