Are you looking to leave your 9-5 life and start a career as a Virtual Assistant?

Or maybe you already have a VA business and would like some tips and tool suggestions from another professional?

Below are some helpful resources to guide you along either path that you are on!

This list is definitely not exhaustive, but I guarantee that I have used all of these programs in my virtual assistant business and find them to be trustworthy and helpful in sustaining and growing a successful online business! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Password/Secure Information Management

LastPass: This is how we keep our clients information safe and secure. You can also save usernames and passwords to LastPass, and it will autologin to your sites and sync your passwords everywhere you need them. The free version is great and you can upgrade to the (very inexpensive!) Premium account to share folders with clients and access information on the go such as from your phone or laptop.

Email Management

ActiveInbox: Gmail Extension that can easily turn your email inbox into a to-do list! All tasks that my clients assign via email are added to my schedule using this amazing tool. I have tried several different programs and this is by far the best. Simple yet functional platform. (Seriously, a Virtual Assistant’s best friend!)

Boomerang: Gmail Extension that allows you to schedule emails to be sent automatically in the future. This has saved me so many times when burning the midnight oil!

Time Tracking

Harvest: I use this tool to track all of my client hours each month. Very simple, inexpensive and also has a browser extension and iphone app.

Project Management

Trello: This is an awesome project management tool that makes collaboration easy and fun. But this visual list tool can do so much more, whether you’re organizing work projects, managing a team, travel plans, or just about anything else. I have tried many of the competitors out there and this is BY FAR my top choice.

Accounting

Wave: Free and robust accounting software. Also includes invoicing, expense reporting, and so much more.

Are you a Virtual Assistant and have a program that you use and LOVE?

Please send me a message. I am always open to learning new systems that make our lives easier!
