What Does a Virtual Assistant Do?

Provides remote administrative, scheduling and support services to businesses or individuals.

A virtual assistant (VA) handles support tasks remotely — email and calendar management, scheduling, data entry, research, travel booking and more. They free up founders, executives and small teams to focus on higher-value work.

The role is remote by definition and one of the most accessible ways into remote work. Reliability, organisation and clear communication are what clients value most.
