A Virtual Administrative Assistant (VAA) is a highly skilled remote professional provided by RemoteDraft, who provides general administrative support to individuals, teams, or businesses. Unlike a Virtual Executive Assistant, who typically works one-on-one with senior leaders and focuses on high-level support, a Virtual Administrative Assistant handles foundational, day-to-day administrative tasks that help businesses stay organized and efficient.
These assistants from RemoteDraft are skilled in activities such as data entry, email sorting, appointment scheduling, document preparation, form submissions, task follow-ups, and basic customer communication. They work remotely but can integrate seamlessly into your business systems to provide dependable back-office assistance without the overhead of hiring in-house.

You’ll be assigned a carefully vetted Virtual Assistant, referred to as a Remote Draft (with a space), based on the role you select. This assistant works with you directly, while we handle all the backend management, support, and payroll.

We employ the Remote Draft and assign them to support your work.
You simply engage and pay us, RemoteDraft (without a space), as your service provider—a contractor delivering fully-managed virtual staffing services.

Yes, you can use the services of a Remote Draft for only one week, two weeks or less than a month, if that suits your needs.
