BK Virtual Administration

te literally, only charged for the time I spend, head down, actually working on your project. While a permanent employee's hourly rate may initially appear more cost effective, see my rates comparison calculator here and be surprised at how much you could save by outsourcing! There are many good reasons for using outsourced administrative help ...

You will never have to worry about OH&S, workers’ compensation, unfair dismissal, staff personality clashes, or harassment issues. There are no on-costs for sick pay, holiday pay, public holidays, training, payroll tax, superannuation or maternity leave. No penalty rates for work completed out of “normal” hours, nor the need for expensive technology and office supplies. Pay only for the work you need done, by the hour, as and when you need it. Having a quiet period? That’s fine; call me when you’re busy again! You can utilise my services by the hour, or we can negotiate a package of pre-paid hours – whatever suits you and your current business needs. My mission is to streamline your experience and get the job done with as little fuss as possible! Avoid the tedious and expensive process of advertising and interviewing for staff and associated training. Our working relationship is not limited by geographical boundaries; it doesn’t matter if we are in different suburbs, states, or countries. In fact, working with a virtual assistant in another time zone can be very effective - urgent projects can be completed while you’re out of the office and ready for you first thing in the morning!
