Virtual Assistant Services to Support Your Goals
About Amethyst PA
When I started my business it was just as I had finished college, supporting my Dad’s roofing business as a labourer and office support. One night, at midnight, I awoke with an idea – I could support other businesses in the same way. The stress of invoicing, emails, project management, social media (the list goes on!) is often a deterrant for entrepreneurs who started their business because they loved doing something. I could support them by doing the tasks that got in their way.
Now, over 17 years later, I continue to support sole traders and business owners to get back to doing what they love with ad hoc and ongoing support, so they can have someone by their side cheering them on, completing tasks, and managing projects for them.
Start with a chat
A Virtual Assistant could be with you for many years (most of my clients have been with me for 5+ years) so it’s important we get to know each other before starting to work together!
Ad Hoc Support
There’s no need to block out time with me. I know that some months you’re overwhelmed, and other months are more quiet. That’s why we offer ad hoc support for entrepreneurs in need of it.
Ongoing Support
If you prefer to block out time on a regular basis, we can arrange a monthly package that encompasses a number of hours to help you grow your business.
Helping you get time to relax in the sun
Just like Mischka, you deserve to have time to relax, unwind, and step away from the stress of your business. If you want to do just that, I can help.

FAQ
Can you support a start up?
Yes, absolutely! It doesn’t matter where you are in your business journey, I love to help people who want to get back to doing what they enjoy.
What services do you provide?
It is quite difficult to share all of the things I offer as a VA. Most of the tasks I support with include email management, social media management, event support, project management, tech support, personal tasks (think birthday gift sourcing), holiday cover, invoice creation, and much more.
How much does it cost to use a VA?
Great question! My ethos has always been that I’d rather a client feel that they can use me when they need to, rather than sucking in worrisome air at the cost.
My hourly rate is £27 per hour for ad hoc support, while this is reduced if you chose to go on an ongoing monthly retainer (anywhere from £22-£25 per hour).
NFPs/CICs & Start-ups
I know that money can be tight as an Not For Profit/CIC or a start-up, and I provide 2 scholarship packages per year for clients in need. This drastically reduces the hourly rate in alignment with their needs. Please reach out if you would like to apply.
How do I start working with a VA?
The most important part of working with a Virtual Assistant is that you get along. You are going to be working with them for some time, so your personalities, goals and ethics should align. After you figure out if you’re a good match, you can check in to see if the support you need is within their expertise, and go from there. I always advise working on a month by month basis, and having an open and honest relationship where you can trust your VA to support you and give you honest feedback on tasks they can and cannot support you with.
