Being part of “office" life started in the UK in the early 90's for an office staffing agency in London.   A couple of standout positions;

• Personal Assistant to the owner of a highly acclaimed Arabic newspaper and Office

• Secretary/Project Coordinator for the Architectural team building the then new Chelsea and Westminster hospital (true story the office was actually on site during the construction of the hospital).  

Once in the US I was fortunate enough to work for a variety of companies in the Boston area from start up to fortune 500.  Holding roles in Office Management, Administration, Content Management and Web Site Management.    

Prior to founding Assisting Businesses Virtually I spent 7 years helping companies of all sizes set up their payrolls.  I Ensured compliance on both a company and employee level.   A lot of times I was onsite and what I saw and was asked from small Business owners often was “Do you know someone”.  Or worse still I saw they didn’t have the time to do the things that needed to be done and struggled.

And so my “Why” for starting Assisting Businesses Virtually.  I wanted to help these small businesses thrive.  I knew what it took to run a business as I had run my  partner Paul’s  Construction company for 6 years.  I could relate and  I understood, more importantly I could help.  

Virtually Assisting Businesses allows you to have “office” help.  You don’t have to hire someone full time if you need just a few hours a week.  What does that give you, hours back to work on your business.

When not working (yes it happens) being active in the businesses and local communities is important.
