Virtual administrative help for owners who are stretched

Business owners and managers can hand routine work to the remote assistants that CACooper Services, LLC supplies. Its assistants work remotely, so a client can add capacity to the business without taking on salaried staff. The company describes its typical client as someone working very long days, often fourteen hours or more, who still finds the business is not growing. Its answer is to delegate routine work to an assistant, which the company argues frees the owner's time for the decisions that matter most.

What a virtual assistant is and what it costs to hire one

The company explains that a virtual assistant is generally self-employed and provides administrative, technical or creative help to clients remotely from a home office. It argues that owners often underestimate what hiring one would cost, and that the time they spend on correspondence, projects and bookkeeping may be worth more than the assistant's fees.

Correspondence, projects and basic bookkeeping

The services are customized to the individual business. They cover correspondence, handling emails and letters, and day-to-day project tasks, along with basic financial record keeping that can be passed on to an assistant. The company says its assistants are experienced in the work they take on.

Working well with a remote assistant

The company's material gives practical advice on the relationship between an owner and a virtual assistant. It points out that hiring someone does not change a business overnight, and that the work is not completed with little effort from the owner. Building and managing a good working relationship with the assistant is presented as the key to success, and the company offers guidance on how to do that.

Veteran ownership and the mission behind the firm

Its ownership is service-disabled veteran, and the firm is registered as a small business. Its aim is to lend a hand to fellow veterans who run firms, to entrepreneurs and to organizations, by creating remote contract work they can take on, and by giving business owners the structure and tools to focus on growth. Its longer-term goal is to grow into one of the larger remote assistance firms in the country.
