How can we help you?
For businesses ...
Are you drowning in paper, or bogged down
with administration? Our aim is to help you reduce the pressure of running
your office so that you can concentrate on growing your business and
generating income. We specialise in assisting small businesses and
start-ups, so whether you need simple secretarial or administrative help
on an ad hoc basis to cover sickness or holiday, or an assistant on a more
regular basis to help manage your office or take care of your marketing
needs, we have the complete range of business services to provide the
solution you are looking for.
For individuals ...
Do you need your CV re-vamped, your
thesis or dissertation typed, or your novel realised? We can provide you
with the typing service you require for a professional, well laid out
document. We can also provide you with a personalised letter and envelope
service.
Who are we?
AMVOA is a fully equipped home based
office in Thurrock, Essex, managed by Andrea Marchant, a freelance
secretary and administrator with over 20 years’ experience in the City of
London and Essex in the property, financial services and legal sectors,
and Patrick Marchant, a former account manager for various retail and
construction companies.
Why a virtual
assistant?
First of all, it’s important to know that
we are here to assist you, and although this can be hard when you don’t
see a smiling face every morning, we can do almost anything that a regular
assistant can do, more often than not at a lower cost than the true cost
of employing a traditional assistant who works at your own premises. The
only difference is the way in which you pass your work to us. Instead of
hitting the intercom button, just use your speed dial; and instead of
handing over a paper folder, attach your file in an email to us.
It's important to avoid the
"it’s-easier-to-do-it-myself" trap. The first time you ask us to assist
you, you may need to give us some additional instructions to ensure that
we step in line with the way you want to work, but the next time, we will
know and you will be able to delegate your tasks to us and your time will
be saved.
Whatever your secretarial or
administration needs, AMVOA is dedicated to providing you with a cost
effective, confidential and professional service. We understand your
business needs and want to work with you to build a strong relationship
that you can depend on.
The advantages of using a virtual
assistant include:
- You only pay for the services you
require, or the actual number of hours worked
- There are no additional costs such as
national insurance, tax, sick pay, holiday pay, training, lunch breaks,
overtime, office space and equipment
- There are no legal responsibilities
compared with a traditional employer/employee relationship
- You are not constrained to traditional
9-5 working hours
- As the services are virtual, distance
is not a problem - we can help you from anywhere in the world (as long
as the work is in English)
