Kate Porteous Virtual Assistant

I’m a self-confessed admin enthusiast and have always taken pleasure in organising and sorting things out. Working from home is the best solution for living in a rural spot, and so the idea of being a self-employed freelance virtual administrator was born.

I set up my business back in 2015 with the aim of saving other people's time by using mine. Small businesses and sole traders are very passionate about the products they sell or the services they provide, and are increasingly frustrated by the time they have to take away from this passion to do their paperwork. For most, it's a boring necessity that ends up getting done in the evening or on the weekend and eats into their work-life balance.

This is where I come in.

With a background in both the public and private sectors, I have worked with a variety of companies, large and small, and I understand the need to be well organised, methodical, conscientious, and trustworthy. And, I have to admit, I love paperwork! I take pleasure in creating order from chaos and sorting things out.

I always ask new clients what jobs they’d love to no longer do, and once they get thinking, the lists can get quite long: spreadsheet creation and maintenance, organising events, keeping on top of emails and website updates, proofreading, writing content, data entry...

What job would you love to no longer do?

My work motto is “saving your time by using mine”, so if you’re struggling with your paperwork or resent taking time away from the real heart of your business, contact me on 0786 4619540 or Kate@KatePorteousVA.com.
