Title: CPT-11579 Business Support Virtual Assistant
Independent Contractor – CPT-11579 General Business Support Virtual Assistant/Business Support VA/Entry Level (Remote).
Overview
20four7VA is seeking offshore independent contractors to deliver remote services to clients worldwide, with a primary focus on developed markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
A small-business growth initiative is seeking versatile Business Support Virtual Assistants to provide administrative and operational support to participating small businesses during a 12-week program.
The initiative supports businesses that are building the structure, systems, and processes needed to grow and eventually hire employees. Participating companies may come from a variety of industries, so the VAs need to be well-rounded, adaptable, and comfortable learning different small-business environments.
Each participating business will receive a limited number of VA support hours each week. The work will primarily consist of general administrative, executive-assistant, customer-support, and basic business-support tasks rather than specialized accounting, technical, or advanced marketing responsibilities.
The objective of each engagement is to assist the client in improving business efficiency, enhancing service delivery, or supporting operational functions through high-quality, task-specific services rendered by a qualified contractor.

- Follow established instructions and workflows
- Help organize recurring administrative processes
