Virtual Assistant Makes Administrative Support More Affordable

Advances in technology may have improved the way we conduct business, but managing information, correspondence and calendars still requires a human component. What it does not require, according to Darlene Rager, principal of Clerical Services Unlimited, is the expense of a full-time salaried administrative staff person or temporary office help.

“Technology has most certainly improved the way we do business, but it hasn’t replaced humans. Someone still has to enter the information into the Blackberry,” says Rager. “What is possible, however, is to use the advances offered in this Information Age to your business’s advantage.”

Clerical Services Unlimited is a virtual office. Its staff, however, is quite real and provides administrative support to corporations, traveling executives, small business owners, freelancers and anyone else looking to shave the overhead costs of maintaining an in-office administrative staff.

“We manage correspondence and schedules, prepare reports and mass mailings, create mail merges, perform data entry and database management, offer transcription and desktop publishing services – essentially all of the support you would seek from in-office administrative staff,” said Rager. “The advantage to our Virtual Assistant concept is the significant savings it offers.”

The numbers support Rager’s theory. According to Salary.com, a full-time administrative assistant working a 40 hour week at $26.55 an hour earns a median total compensation, including benefits, of $55,226 a year. A Virtual Assistant working a 25-hour work week at $25.00 an hour costs his/her employer $22,726. The savings is found in the overhead.

“Our clients are not paying into Social Security, disability, healthcare, pension or a 401K plan,” said Rager. “This is a project-based, client-driven enterprise. You pay for the services we provide, period.”

With more than 20 years of executive administrative support in the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors, Clerical Services Unlimited bills $25 an hour for most administrative projects and offers repeat clients the option of establishing a monthly retainer.
