Personal Assistant

Depending on the type of business you run, a Personal Assistant can be responsible for a myriad of tasks. As with any position, Personal Assistants usually excel at particular forms of administrative support, so before you begin the hiring process, look carefully at what you’ll need and expect from your Assistant.

In many cases, the Personal Assistant takes on the role of secretary, handling your correspondence, invoicing and billing. Others work in more of an administrative capacity by taking care of filing, bookkeeping, marketing and data entry. You can also find Personal Assistants who will run errands for you while you work, such as picking up dry cleaning, ordering lunch during a meeting, fulfilling your grocery list and picking up associates at the airport.
