“As the CEO of a small business for the past 25 years, I have worked with a few competent people offering crucial assistance as virtual administrative professionals. But none have compared to the commitment, responsiveness, knowledge, and efficiency that Liz offers.
Liz was my trustworthy virtual administration partner throughout two long years of writing a book on collaboration to fit specific requirements from the publisher. I could always rely on her to be precise, thorough, and timely completing details and deadlines that I delegated to her, without my ever having to worry about anything. Liz always got it done, and she did it so well!
To Liz’s credit, my book manuscript was submitted ahead of schedule and accepted for final production without any changes. This is highly unusual and yet not surprising, considering Liz’s expertise.
I recommend Liz and her team at The Virtual Alternative highly. If you want to ensure that your business management details are handled correctly, on time, and with peak efficiency, Liz can be relied on 100% to provide the administrative management support needed so you can focus on other priorities for your business.”

“Olivia is wonderful! The timing of us meeting has worked out so well for her help with these sessions. Olivia has given me some great guidance re: social media. She makes it easy and digestible. A lot of people don’t know how or why to use things like Instagram (and the rest). All of the work that you and Olivia do help me and other business owners to free up our time so we can grow our businesses.”

“Liz is a superb editor. She has a great eye for both small grammar and spelling issues and larger style and consistency questions. I would trust her with my writing any time.” G.O. Writer and Editor, Toronto 2019
“As a bookkeeper who works with many clients and many virtual assistants supporting those clients, I’m always very happy when the assistant is as lovely to deal with as Liz. I’m very lucky to deal with her for 2 different clients, and she makes my life a lot easier. Liz is very responsive to my needs and is a liaison who values not only her client but people like me who need to work efficiently with the client as well. This provides great value to our client as well as to me as the bookkeeper. I can always count on her to do the work meticulously, in a timely manner, and with a helpful smile in her voice, and she is very helpful whenever I need anything. And the clients are comfortable that she can manage external relationships with professionalism and integrity as an extension of the clients’ businesses. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a virtual assistant.”

“You are a true leader that made reorganization smooth. Your strong sense of organization and personal work relationships will truly be missed. You were the glue that held all the parts, and us, together.” P.C. Engineer – Ontario 2019
“Liz is that rare person who goes the extra mile for you. Not only is she efficient, accurate, and great on those little details, but she also will come through for you when you need that “document desperately” or whatever urgent matter arises. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants their business to flow more efficiently.”

“I travel worldwide for business and need an assistant who not only looks after the important stuff, but looks after the very important stuff for me while I am away. I know I can rely on Liz totally to keep critical aspects of my business in good shape while I’m abroad looking after my clients critical needs. I trust her implicitly and recommend her to you for your most important tasks.”

“Although I’ve never personally retained Liz, I am volunteering this testimonial for her anyway. I have seen Liz in action, setting up events before the host (her client) arrives, wrapping up live events when the host (her client) has to dash off to her next gig, putting up with demanding speakers who need this this way and that that way (me), leaving no stone unturned until every attendee who is bugging her for stuff (me) gets what she asks for… What more could one want in a virtual assistant?That phrase is hardly adequate to describe her many functions and talents.”

“It’s the latest twist on outsourcing: Small businesses are starting to get help from virtual services camped out on the cyber-frontier.”
“Virtual assistants offer several advantages over temporary or part-time workers. Beyond the obvious–no payroll taxes, no workers’ comp, no temp-agency commission–virtual assistants tend to be more cost-efficient, charging by the hour…. The pay arrangement, plus the distance, tends to clarify the relationship, making it less of a management challenge.”
