Questions
Hiring a virtual assistant
Something else on your mind? Our Australian team can talk it through.
What tasks can a Virtual Assistant handle?
Calendar and email management, data entry, travel booking, document preparation, basic research, and general administrative support.
How do I onboard an offshore VA?
Adept provides a structured onboarding guide. Most VAs are fully productive within 2 weeks once given access to your tools and a documented process.
Can a VA work during Australian business hours?
Yes. Adept staff are contracted to work AEST/AEDT hours, so you get real-time support during your working day.
Is a VA suitable for a small business owner?
Absolutely. Many sole traders and small business owners use a VA as their first offshore hire to buy back 15–20 hours per week.
What's the difference between a VA and an Executive Assistant?
A VA handles general admin tasks for individuals or small teams. An Executive Assistant supports C-level executives with higher-complexity work such as board prep, strategic scheduling, and confidential communications.
