Ask my PA - Business with a personal touch

What is a virtual PA?

A ‘virtual’ PA is exactly the same as a Personal Assistant, but instead of working in your office we work remotely. We undertake all the same tasks as an “in house” PA without the additional cost of Tax, National Insurance, holiday & sick pay, or Pensions and Insurance.

Because we work remotely you don’t have to worry about equipment or other associated costs.

How can a virtual PA help my organisation?

We can help with almost anything you need. Take a look at our services page to find an overview of what we can do for you. If you don’t see what you’re looking for we’ll be happy to discuss your requirements and do our best to facilitate your needs.

How does it work?

Brilliantly! Imagine having someone to answer the phone, deal with your emails, chase your invoices or handle your paperwork. Think how much more you could get done simply by delegating all those jobs to someone already skilled to perform them so no training required.

Take a look at our services page and choose the right type of support for you. Get in touch by completing our enquiry form.

We’ll contact you to discuss your needs thoroughly, so that we can learn as much as possible about your requirements and your company, then we become your virtual employee, performing the tasks you need and helping support your business where you need it most.

Why should we pick Ask my PA to help us?

In our opinion there are a few key principles which all good PA’s should adhere to in order to effectively perform their tasks and maintain an outstanding service. These form the building blocks of what each client receives when engaging Ask my PA.

Relationship – Having a great working relationship with a colleague, business associate, or customer is crucial for any PA. When things are going well, it means you can enjoy it all the more and embrace the success of everyone’s participation and achievements. When things may not have gone so well it’s the solidness of the relationship which enables you to understand, correct any errors and move on successfully.

Trust – This forms part of the relationship however a great working relationship will never happen without trust. We become an integral part of your business and trusted member of your team. Building solid trusting relationships with our clients give them the confidence to leave one of their most valuable assets (their business) in our capable hands!

Experience- One of the greatest skills of a PA is the ability to prioritise and we make it our priority to ensure our clients and their clients all experience great customer service. We do this by getting to know the nature of your business. In fact, we won’t start work with any client until we have captured the very essence of what you do and what your customers expect from you! We quickly adapt to become part of your business and help bring your plans together as if they were our own

How much does this wonderful service cost?

Please see our pricing section for details on our charges.

What if I need only a relatively small or one off task?

No problem, many of our clients started out just engaging us for holiday cover. Call us to discuss your requirements.

Are we tied into a contract?

No! If you decide to use our cost effective monthly retainer service you can stop using Ask my PA with only a months notice.

What technology does my company need to use your service?

All you need is a way of contacting us and sending us any information which may help us to do a great job for you. We don’t mind if you prefer telephone, email, fax or even good old fashioned letter, just as long as we can communicate with you!

I am the only person in my company – can this work for me?

Yes! Big or small, we can help your organisation. We can manage your business for you if you need to go away, or undertake all those tasks which you simply don’t have time for.
