About me – Much more than a Virtual Assistant

Who am I?

I'm Lisa Reynolds, a VA with a difference. A virtual assistant will take the pressure off your business life by tackling the everyday stuff you don't have the time or inclination to do. I can do that. But I'll also do a great deal more. I'm different from the VA herd.

Years of business experience mean I'm perfectly qualified to provide in-depth input into a wide variety of business-critical projects to help your small company thrive. Stuff like website critiques, competitor research, business MOTs, project management and financials.

What are my strengths?

There's no point beating about the bush. I call a spade a spade. So you get honest feedback and genuine input that's designed to make your business work better, even if you don't necessarily like what I say.

I'm a workaholic and if your project has a business-led time limit I'll pull out all the stops to make sure you get it on time. I've been known to stay up until the small hours at the CMS coalface, getting a client's new web content in place over the weekend. I know it isn't healthy. I guess I should practice what I preach – a sensible work/life balance. But my OCD works to your benefit!

So does my obsession with organisation and admin. I know from experience that a lean, efficient business generates better profits and is easier to grow than an inefficient, slow one. With my help we'll beat your systems, processes and procedures into shape so you'll be on a winning streak.

I'm an ideas machine too. My clients say I have a good eye for spotting new opportunities. And I think 'outside the box' naturally (how I hate that saying!).

What do I do?

You name it. I'll take on anything your small business can throw at me, from simple administrative stuff to sticky issues that need solving. We can strip your business back to the bare bones and rebuild it better. I'll help you turn your website from a boring online brochure site to something fully functional and commercially powerful. I'll sort out your expenses. I'll tackle any number of marketing and SEO focused projects. Whatever you want, it's worth running it past me.

Where I'm based

I'm based in Brighton & Hove, UK, and my clients are mostly based in the south of England. But I'm equally happy working remotely by email and 'phone, wherever you are in the UK.

What do I do in my spare time?

Ha. What spare time? I'm interested in British history and I'm fascinated by serial killers. I'm an avid reader of thrillers, especially the thrillingly grisly Jeffrey Deaver. And Alan Bennett never fails to crack me up.
