Are you a staffing agency of any type?
We are not a staffing agency. We are remote, or virtual, assistants who are available to assist
you in any capacity, whenever you need additional support. Advanced Business Services, LLC guarantees every
professional an experienced executive assistant whose focus is tailored to suit your individual needs.
What is the benefit of working
with an assistant who is remotely located, in comparison to working with one in-house?
There
are actually quite a few benefits gained from choosing to outsource your business administration and business management
tasks. Below are two of the primary benefits in brief.
Outsourcing provides more flexibility in terms
of working hours. Working with Advanced Business Services, LLC means having an assistant any time you need one.
With in-house assistance, you typically have to work within a set number of hours during the day. However, when
working with us, we spring into action whenever, and however often, you need us to. If you have a project that
is keeping you in the office into the night, you have the option of forwarding that project to us, then having it delivered
back to you in a completed, send-ready format. If you are traveling, we are right there with you, working when you are,
and if necessary or requested, even when you aren't.
A second benefit is the decrease in personnel related
costs. Our dedicated assistants come at a fraction of the cost of in-house employees in terms of payroll and health
benefits. In addition, you also cut out the costs associated with the creation and upkeep of an additional workspace.
This benefit allows many professionals who already have assistants the ability to add on to that support system during times
when an extra hand is necessary. For those without dedicated in-house assistance, you now have full access to experienced
executive assistance to provide the essential support you and your business require.
Do you specialize in only assisting partially, or fully, staffed offices? We
do not specialize in only fully staffed offices. Our assistants have successfully supported individual professionals
from home offices, or on travel as well as fully staffed departments. We have also seamlessly supported other administrative
professionals. Our goal is to ensure individual professionals as well as groups of professionals have access to experienced,
executive level assistance when they need it and to the level they need it. What are the forms of communication used between Advanced Business
Services, LLC and their clients?
Advanced Business Services, LLC maintains a guaranteed constant
stream of communication with each of our clients. We are able to utilize any form of communication you request
to ensure we are always available to meet your ever-changing needs, and respond to any questions, or concerns you may have.
In addition, our phone lines are available 24/7 to speak to your assistant, or any other employee.
How will I know the progress
of my project or assignment given to Advanced Business Services, LLC?
Your assistant will
provide you with weekly status reports and daily updates to keep you abreast of all projects and assignments
you have delegated. The frequency can be adjusted based upon your preference.
Are
you trusted with confidential and proprietary information?
Absolutely. We take your trust very seriously and will never divulge
any information to others, nor will we discuss information with individuals within your company whom we have not
been authorized to do so. In addition, because we do assist clients in the medical and financial fields, we
are required to maintain HIPAA practices and offer a high level of confidentiality and security for the safety of our
clients, and theirs. As a company, we make it a priority to maintain the most strict HIPAA practices; and we utilize
secure, electronic shredding software (in addition to paper shredders) to ensure confidential materials may never be recovered
once they have been discarded.
Are your services only performed on a contractual basis?
In addition to monthly retainers, to provide clients with the freedom of options, we also
perform assignments on an hourly basis. Rest assured, no matter how you choose to purchase service time, through
our Minute Billing process, you will only be charged for the time we are actually working on your specific project or assignment.
Is there a per-word, or per-page cost
for word processing?
Because we are a full-service administrative assistance and business
support firm, we do not charge by the word, or page. We have hourly rates that are used to invoice clients if a contractual
agreement has not been established.
