What people are saying about Fiona Hobbs VA:

I have been working with Fiona Hobbs VA for nearly three years and in that time I have no doubt that Fiona has assisted me in growing my business. Her work is always of the highest standard and if in doubt she will always check my requirements. She organises my diary, helps me with events and social media requirements and saves me a lot of time and effort. She ensures my schedule is efficient and gives me maximum effectiveness. Many of my clients now know Fiona and will go directly to her if they require appointment changes. Fiona designed and implemented my website www.boardconnexions.com and handles all enquiries to my [email protected] email address. She responds to social media queries on my behalf and manages my emails when I am travelling or on holidays. This ensures a seamless service to my clients. Fiona has helped me organise events, both in the event planning and during the events. She has made suggestions to help me grow my business and has become a vital part of Board Connexions.

In my capacity as Executive Director of a small not-for profit organization, I have engaged Fiona to undertake a range of work, including ongoing administration of an important sub-committee as well as one-off projects.
The administration not only included preparation of meeting agendas, papers and minutes but liaison with a variety of stakeholders and regulatory bodies. Ensuring compliance with both statutory and professional obligations was also part of this role.  Projects included the complete overhaul and re-build of our website (including how this would be undertaken, costings etc) and updating a broad range of content material; developing a process for and then implementing the development of a new unit for our on-line learning facility and developing policies and procedures on particular aspects of the organisation’s operation.
Fiona has always impressed me with her attention to detail, her ability to set realistic timelines and communicate these clearly and her commitment to both the work and our organization, despite working externally.

I initially engaged Fiona to create email distribution lists and MailChimp templates that I could use when emailing information relating to upcoming events and workshops to clients.  This task would have taken me hours to complete.  Fiona was able to complete these lists and templates with minimal effort from me.  I trusted Fiona’s judgement on the layout of the templates. She is always a pleasure to deal with.  I have continued to utilise her Virtual Assistant services for the creation of new flyers to promote my business and workshops.  I have no hesitation in recommending Fiona and the services she provides as I have found her extremely professional, helpful, articulate and supportive.

If you are a small business owner and you’re fed up with spending all of your precious time attending to administrative tasks then I can highly recommend Fiona Hobbs as the answer to your prayers!
I was in your shoes and then, one day, I decided that something had to give. I realized that, unless I did something to lighten my administrative workload, I would never be able to progress my business at the rate that I wanted to because I never had enough time. But, on the other hand, I didn’t need a full-time employee and, anyway, that sort of expense was out of the question (as well as the burden of all the regulatory requirements that go with having an employee). Then I remembered that somebody had told me about using a virtual assistant (‘VA’ as they call them). I was nervous about using a VA because I’d only ever worked with ‘real’ people before in a formal office setting. Also, I was concerned about scams and/or being stuck with poor quality services and delays. So, before going any further, I did a bit of googling - and located Fiona. Her resume sounded ideal, so I called her and left a message. She rang me back the same day and discussed the range of services that she could provide. I was impressed – an actual person on the end of the phone! I really put a lot of value on the fact that she’s based in Perth and is so accessible. Her experience is impressive which is reflected in the consistently high standard of Fiona’s work. Not only is she 100% reliable, I’ve also benefited greatly from the pro-active approach that Fiona takes to her work (her suggestions are always practical and get a better result). On top of that, Fiona’s rates are competitive and having the flexibility of being able to retain her on an ‘as needed’ basis means that Fiona’s packages are perfect for small business owners like me. Since starting with Fiona I have never looked back. My time has been freed up from an overload of administrative work and I can now focus on getting on with building up my business. If you’d like to do the same, then I’m more than happy to recommend Fiona’s services to you.

Fiona provided some transcription services for us very soon after she started her business. The work was done quickly and was very well presented. It was a task that would have taken us days and it was done within a few hours. I was especially pleased with the result because one of the transcriptions was of a four way conversation, with none of the people identified and some of the language used was far from standard English.                                                                                                               Manager, Not-for-profit Legal Service
Fiona is a highly competent, multi-skilled administrator. She has the confidence and experience to manage complex systems, projects and procedures autonomously and proficiently.  In my experience she has been a joy to work with, owing to her no nonsense straightforward and professional approach.
