What Does a Virtual Financial Assistant Do?
The short answer: everything a full-time finance administrator does, but remotely, and usually at significantly lower cost.
The scope of tasks depends on your business size, but most cover these core functions:
- Bookkeeping — Recording daily transactions, categorizing income and expenses, and maintaining a clean general ledger.
- Invoicing — Creating and sending invoices, setting up recurring billing, and following up on overdue payments.
- Expense tracking — Logging receipts, reconciling credit card and bank statements, and flagging irregularities.
- AP/AR management — Managing what you owe and what you're owed so cash flow does not catch you off guard.
- Bank reconciliation — Matching internal records against bank statements to catch errors early.
What Does It Cost Per Hour?
Pricing depends on the assistant’s experience, tools, language level, and whether the role is part-time, full-time, or fully managed.
The Tools a Virtual Financial Assistant Should Know
Software fluency is part of the job. The tool matters less than the person behind it, but these platforms are common in finance support roles.
