Using Offshore VA’s to Support Your Business
Q: How should a business contact or start a conversation with Kristy or Virtual Elves?
Visit virtualelves.com.au to book a free discovery consult; a discovery call with a team member will outline the process with no obligation, focusing on education and exploring what's possible rather than hard selling.
Using Offshore VA’s to Support Your Business
Q: What sorts of tasks can a VA based in another country like the Philippines do for a business?
VAs can handle marketing and communications, admin, bookkeeping admin, content creation as a guided brief, social media, writing blogs, and specialized tasks when you hire for specific skill sets; however, success depends on clear briefs, proper training, and realistic expectations about each VA's capabilities.
Are They An Employee or Contractor with Lawyer Jeanette Jifkins
Q: What is the difference between employees and contractors from a legal perspective, and how do Fair Work and the ATO approach this?
The guest explains that the ATO concentrates on personal services and tax-related obligations, while Fair Work looks at the whole relationship. The key is the degree of control and who the relationship primarily serves—if it looks like employment, it's likely employment, regardless of labeling.
Are They An Employee or Contractor with Lawyer Jeanette Jifkins
Q: Can you introduce yourself and what you do and who you serve in your business?
Jeanette describes Onyx Legal as a boutique corporate and commercial law firm based in North Lakes, Brisbane, serving clients nationwide and focusing on preventative, growth-oriented legal support for businesses.
