Welcome to The Alliance for Virtual Assistants in Ottawa!

The Virtual Assistance industry was born in the U.S. in 1997.  Since then, its popularity has grown tremendously in the U.K., Asia-Pacific, here in Canada, and in 2002, it was quoted in Forbes magazine as one of the top ten growth industries. 

Virtual Assistance has become the newest trend in administrative services, providing a cost effective alternative to hiring staff to manage non-core business activities.

For business, the benefits of hiring a Virtual Assistant (VA) include savings on overhead, equipment, office space and time spent on administering taxes, benefits and non-work time for employees.

Our association is located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and our mandate is to:

• Increase awareness of the profession in Ottawa.

• Share information and resources among members.

• Uphold a professional standard for the local industry.

• Help each other in our respective businesses.

• Become a source for business referrals and sub-contracts.

We invite you to visit our pages for more information on how a Virtual Assistant can help you get back to your core business activities instead of spending your valuable time doing the paperwork.
