Questions about hiring a virtual assistant
Straight answers to what NZ business owners ask us most.
How much does a freelance virtual assistant cost in New Zealand?
Everyday virtual assistance usually costs NZ$35–$55 / hour, and more experienced support NZ$55–$95 / hour, excluding GST. Assistants quote after reading your brief. The type of tasks, your systems and whether you need set hours move the price most.
Should I hire a freelancer or an outsourcing agency?
A freelancer suits most small businesses: you work with the same person each week and they learn how you like things done. An agency makes sense when you need cover across long hours or a team that can scale up quickly.
I don't have a brief. Can I still start?
Yes. Most people don't have one. Tell us what you're trying to achieve and we'll turn it into a brief with you before anything goes out to virtual assistants.
Is a virtual assistant an employee?
No. A freelance virtual assistant runs their own business and invoices you for their time. If the arrangement starts to look like a regular job, check with your accountant or employment adviser.
How do I keep my business information safe?
Give your assistant their own logins with only the access they need, and use a password manager rather than sharing passwords. Ask them to sign a confidentiality agreement if they'll see customer or financial details.
Do I pay GST?
Only if your freelancer is GST-registered. Registered virtual assistants add 15% GST to their quote, while many sole traders earning under NZ$60,000 a year aren't registered and won't charge it.
How long does it take to find someone?
We aim to start sharing interested virtual assistants within a few working days of agreeing your brief. When work starts depends on their availability and your timing.
