Cost Comparison Chart

Compare the cost of working with Elite Office Solutions to full-time, in-office assistance.

What is the actual cost of a full-time, in-office assistant?

Assume a minimum of $ 25 per hour at 40 hours per week.  Over the course of a year you're spending $ 48,000 on salary alone. 

Add in the cost of health insurance, taxes, etc. at approximately 30 - 40% of salary and you're spending about $ 64,800 annually for your full-time, in-house employee.

Don't forget the less obvious and difficult to quantify, expenses such as overhead related to time and money spent filling and training your position, the cost of computers and other office technology, office space, lunch hours, sick and vacation pay, and numerous wasted, non-productive hours on the clock.

Compare the cost of working with a Virtual Assistant

With a Virtual Assistant you don't pay for lunch hours, sick leave or vacation pay; and there's no such thing as paid down time because a VA invoices only for the exact time spent working on your projects.  There's no need to supply your Virtual Assistant with a computer or other expensive office equipment because a Virtual Assistant operates a fully functional home office.  And, as an independent contractor, a Virtual Assistant handles their own taxes and benefits.  There is no additional cost to you beyond the actual rate at which you contract your virtual service provider.

With a Virtual Assistant, your cutting overhead and increasing productivity because a VA works for you only if and when you require it.  And because a Virtual Assistant is skilled in providing virtual administrative services there is no training period, so you have more time for your own clients.
