ABOUT
Virtual Assistant SK
Virtual Assistant SK (VA SK) is a small, family-owned business based in Saskatchewan. The co-owners, Kelsey and Anass Elbiyad, started their adventure in building VA SK in June 2022. They both knew that small business owners are always juggling a million things and there just isn't enough time in the day to get it all done! Thus, the idea for Virtual Assistant SK was born.
​
We are passionate about helping businesses grow by offering a multitude of virtual services. There are plenty of benefits to virtual assistance such as saving on:
-
Onboarding costs - you won't need to pay another employee to train us or even show us around your office.
-
Training costs - we only offer services that we are already experts in, so you don't have to worry about training us. We've already got it all covered!
-
Business supplies - we don't need a computer, printers, pens or paper. We have everything we need!
-
Benefits - benefits can be exceptionally costly, but as an independent contractor, you don't have to worry about us. We're covered on our own so you don't have to invest in any additional benefits for us.
-
Time! That's one of the big things you'll save hiring Virtual Assistant SK. Time = money, so don't waste your precious cash on long hiring processes, lengthy onboarding, or hiring an employee that might not work out. Let us take work off your desk and provide the services you need, with the option of not having a long term commitment. ​
​​
With Virtual Assistant SK, you'll also get:
-
Flexibility - give us a deadline, and we will meet it! We'll work with you to develop a contract and quote that will cover everything you need us to achieve within the timeline you set. That means you get to pick your services, pick your deadlines - and you can have peace of mind knowing it will all get done! We don't take sick days, we work all types of hours and days throughout the week (including weekends!) All of that also gives you more flexibility to focus on other areas of your business.
-
No office politics - office...what office? We work from home and are away from any drama. You'll get professional service from start to finish.
