Primary accounting operations for freelancers
Mrs. Dora B is registered as a Freelancer since 2005 and provides consulting services to institutions and organizations wishing to access European funds. Recently she had a lot of ongoing contracts, which were supposed to travel across the country. If until last year expenditure involved some office tickets, this year she has a large envelope full of bills and invoices of all kinds. And she realized it would take a whole day to put in order and to complete the register. May also announced to be a very busy month, and Mrs. Dora did not want to do things at the last minute. So we agreed to send by post the documents she had and I've sorted them, I stapled on A4 sheets in order and we have filed and put all required documents in order in an electronic version register made in Excel. Finally I sent the results by post and electronically. I didn’t complete the register (on paper), because Mrs. Dora chose to transcribe and include receipts too.
As she estimated at the beginning, all these things took one full day, but now everything is in order.

About Virtual Assistance
The concept of virtual assistant is relatively new in Romania, but already quite well-known abroad (India seems to be the first in offering such services...).
Especially if you're an entrepreneur at the beginning (Freelancer, individual enterprise, micro-enterprise) you need time and energy to invest in your business growth rather than repetitive tasks. Take several minutes to analyze your daily activities and you will find that you can release many tasks and delegate them to a virtual assistant.
SAVE UP ON:
* MONEY, because the virtual assistant, being an independent entrepreneur, pays its own taxes.
* SPACE and related investment (investment in furniture and IT equipment), as virtual assistant works from its office as an independent entrepreneur and has the necessary office equipment.
* TIME, for you will not waste time on hiring a permanent or temporary employee, or training new staff.
