Hiring a virtual assistant can feel like unlocking a new level of freedom in your business. Whether you’re a solopreneur or running a growing team, at VA can help take time-consuming tasks off your plate so you can focus on what you do best. Here are 10 tasks you can hand off to a Virtual Assistant today.
Administrative Support
1.File & Document Organization (Google Drive, Sharepoint, Dropbox, etc.)
If your desktop looks like digital chaos or you have hundreds of files lingering in your Downloads folder, it's time for a cleanup. A VA can organize, rename, and properly store your documents in platforms like Google Drive, SharePoint, or Dropbox—making everything easy to find when you need it.
2. Calendar Management
From booking client calls to blocking out focus time, a VA can handle the logistics of your schedule. They'll help you avoid double bookings, reduce meeting overload, and make sure your calendar reflects your priorities
3. Email Inbox Management
A cluttered inbox = instant stress. A Virtual Assistant can declutter your inbox, set up folders and filters, flag urgent emails, and unsubscribe you from spam—so you can breathe again.
4. Data Entry & Spreadsheet & CRM Updates
Whether it’s updating customer records, tracking project metrics, or managing inventory, this kind of detailed work is perfect for a VA.
