Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Virtual Assistant?
The short answer, it’s someone you contract to help you sort out various aspects of your business. I have lots more to say about this, so you can head over to my blog to find out more.
How Do I Know if a Virtual Assistant is Right for Me?
We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Some tasks energize us, while others drain us. That’s why it makes sense to hire a contractor to do those things you dislike. You can save time, money, and stress by outsourcing your work to a professional. To learn more about the benefits of hiring a contractor, visit my blog.
Do You Only Work With Established Companies?
No, most VA’s thrives on helping small business owners succeed! A small business owner has never-ending to-do lists, and no one person knows all the there is to know about getting your ducks in a row.

What People are Saying!

Melissa - Fox & Owl Media

Melanie has saved me so much time. She is wonderfully efficient, handles all my invoicing and follows up with my clients to ensure that I get paid on time. She schedules my social media content so that I don’t have to worry about it. She has come to the rescue with my bookkeeping as well. I had carefully kept all my information from 18 months of business, and she was able to compile detailed financial records so that I could submit them to my tax practitioner. I would be lost without her.

Karla - So Sprightly

Let Melanie do her thing for you, I’ve trusted her to do my finances from the start!!!

She is super helpful and knowledgeable and can take those hours having to deal with figures off your plate so you can focus on the rest!!!

Mela’s VA Services is simply the best!!!!

Katie Rössler, LPC

Working with Melanie was such a pleasure!

Without her, I wouldn’t have my Affiliate Program up and running.

She is extremely well organized and great at keeping up with communication.

I also really valued that things could change last minute in my social media plans and she was super flexible.

Thank you Melanie for helping me progress in my business!

Angela Froschl - Hot Mess Consulting

Melanie has been such an asset to our growing tech business. She is so flexible, reliable and hard working. She has been our virtual admin assistant for over 3 years now, and her responsibilities have changed and increased so many times (as our companies growth has been all over the place and what we need most shifts all the time). She’s taken the challenges with grace and positivity and just keeps working hard for our team and our clients. My whole team is thankful for her help and I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone needing another ‘doer’ on their team!
