Virtual PA Services in Guernsey
Giving business owners more hours in the day
Helping you focus on your business
Spend more time concentrating on your business and enjoying life and avoid getting bogged down with admin and those other important jobs that just get in the way and distract you from what you need to do. Contact Sarah to discuss how she can assist you today for a lot less than the cost of a full-time employee.
I’m a Virtual Personal Assistant (PA), otherwise referred to as a Freelance PA. To meet client needs, I provide both an on-demand service for ad hoc tasks, and ongoing regular admin support to small businesses, consultants and individuals, to allow them more time to focus on their core business. They outsource many different aspects of their business, as necessary, primarily time-consuming tasks or tasks they require special assistance with. Regardless of the regularity of the service I provide each client, ultimately they are freed up to focus on other things.
At the same time, a Virtual PA is self-employed, which also means that the client has no employment regulations, income tax/social security deductions to have to worry about.
Meet Sarah
I am a Guernsey-based Virtual Personal Assistant and can provide secretarial and administrative support services to the self-employed, small and medium businesses and private individuals.
I provide a flexible, efficient and cost-effective support service, without the additional expense of recruitment, training and overheads of employing someone.
Prior to starting my own business, I worked as an administrator/office manager, and have gained over 25 years of valuable office experience. I am motivated, very organised and enjoy helping people.
My many years of experience includes industries such as architecture, building contractors, mining, finance and insolvency. I also have a lot of experience with secretarial work, bookkeeping, HR and travel planning.
