Weekly Virtual Assistant for Multiple Tasks

I'm looking for an experienced Virtual Assistant who can assist in my current hectic schedule by helping me get back up-to-date and organised. This is a temporary short-term engagement and will need to assist me with the below, but not limited to:

- Organising my emails
- Responding to emails where possible
- Organising my schedule / calendar
- Flag other important emails
- Invoicing
- Database management
- Other generic administrative functions

There will be many ad hoc tasks that arise that I'll need assistance with, so the successful person must be have initiative, intelligent, and be able to think on the go / be flexible. I'm a friendly, laid back boss, and I have one employee who is very friendly and helpful. We're a welcoming small little team and want the successful candidate to be a similar personality type.

You'll be working with:

- PDF files
- Emails - Managing through Outlook
- Xero software
- Client Management Software

Ideal skills for this job are:

- Advanced organisational capabilities
- Attention to detail with data entry for client management
- Well written and friendly nature
- Work well as a small team, so great communication
- General Aptitude
- Flexibility
- Good communication

The successful person will not only be complimenting and improving me, and therefore adding value to me and my business, but they will be a temporary part of the face of the organisation and they must be professional, likeable and be able to think on their feet without micromanaging as I simply don't have time.

In the future, you may need to create blog posts, manage social media, SEO and other marketing and advertising streams. Ideally, the candidate will be a "go-getter" and take on initiative and not be scared to "have a go". I'll assist where possible, but I also want someone who is confident to back themselves an create their own ideas. Ideally staying up-to-date with AI solutions to add value to my business would be a plus.

I'm not so concerned with prior experience or education, as I'm more focussed on obtaining the right person with the aforementioned attributes. I can teach what lacks in experience, but it has to be the right person with the right attitude and personal characteristics.

I do not want generic AI bids, so please show that you've read my ad by mentioning you have personalised a bid and response accordingly (i.e. by stating you have not used AI to apply). All bids without this being mentioned will be ignored, as it most definitely shows no attention to detail, no care etc, and it's not what I'm after.
