A Virtual Secretary (VS) is a self-employed professional providing office support to businesses remotely via email, telephone or post.

A VS is not a temp or employee but a freelance contractor who caters to the needs of the individual, small or large business. The services of a VS are tailored to provide office support to enable clients to focus on their core business, rather than on time consuming administrative chores.

A VS is a professional partner, operating from a fully equipped office, who can provide support on one-off projects or on a long term basis. Almost every task that can be accomplished in an office can be completed virtually.
