Looking for virtual assistant to write first drafts of client proposals? An Administrative Assistant from Virtual Assistant takes the work off your plate, and you can start this week. They work your US business hours in your time zone, on a month-to-month package.

Tasks You Can Hand Off

Best for small business owners, consultants and teams buried in admin work. Typical work includes:

  • Online forms, renewals and account admin
  • Email inbox management, filtering and drafted replies
  • Calendar scheduling, meeting invites and reminders
  • Document formatting, Google Docs and Microsoft Office work
  • Travel research and booking

They already work in tools like Dropbox, Slack, Asana and Google Workspace. See the full Administrative Assistant page for every task.

How a Virtual Assistant Handles It

Getting a virtual assistant to write first drafts of client proposals usually takes about a week to settle in:

  • Day one: you show the task once on a short call or a Loom video
  • Your assistant writes the steps into a checklist and you approve it
  • First week: they do the work and you review it
  • After that: they handle it on their own and report on what they did

If the task needs logins, you share them through the encrypted vault in your account, never by email, and you can remove access at any time.
