Consulting Virtual Assistant: Maximize Billable Hours
Every hour a consultant spends on admin is an hour not billed to clients. A consulting VA handles the operational tasks that support your consulting practice — research, proposals, scheduling, expense management, and client follow-up — so you maximize your revenue-generating time.
Key Data: Consultants with VAs bill 25-35% more hours because admin tasks don't consume their schedule. For a consultant billing $250/hour, 10 additional hours/week = $130,000/year in additional billing. A VA costs $18,000-$24,000/year (MBO Partners 2025).
Key Areas
- Research — market research, competitive analysis, and industry benchmarking for client projects
- Proposal writing — drafting consulting proposals, SOWs, and engagement letters
- Client scheduling — managing complex calendars, coordinating multi-stakeholder meetings
- Expense management — tracking travel expenses, processing reimbursements, and managing invoices
- Presentation support — creating and formatting PowerPoint presentations and deliverables
- Follow-up — managing post-engagement follow-up, collecting testimonials, and nurturing relationships
