About Us – LeighKhris

Who we are

My Name is Leigh-Ann, I am the Owner & Founder of LeighKhris Virtual PA (PTY) Ltd.
We are a full-service virtual assistant firm that is your go-to partner for all your business’ needs!

We specialize in helping you look after your business, family and/or personal affairs from our remote office – giving you more freedom and allowing you time to achieve your work and life goals.

When you’re a busy person, there’s often so much to keep on top of that taking a break for even a few hours becomes impossible. And sometimes you become so bogged down in admin that you spend more time sending emails and making phone calls than getting on with the job you set out to do.

What you need is someone to add more hours to your day and more days to your week, and we can do just that for you.

About Leighann

Over the last 21 years I have built my career, specialising in the following fields: Customer Service, Personal Assistants, Office/Admin Management & Operations Management and Logistics, having applied my skills and expertise within various industries namely: Chemical, Manufacturing, FMCG, Engineering

I started out my first job as a Receptionist, and through my eagerness and motivation to self- develop, I worked my way through various admin related positions gaining valuable knowledge and expertise, ie: Sales Manager Assistants, Personal Assistants, Admin Manager.

Due to company restructuring I moved to Johannesburg, and worked in the ISO department, within a couple of months I was promoted to Operations Manager for the Warehouse.

Although I have worked in these various roles, Admin is my Passion; I love every minute of it! I thrive on procedures, lists and organisation and assisting others, ensuring that they don’t drop the ball, and assisting them to succeed.

A VA saves you money

Full-time employee, you’ll not only have to pay his salary but also:

Taxes
Sick days
Holiday leave
Worker’s compensation
Medical Aid
Pension and provident funds

On the other hand, virtual assistants work as independent contractors. This means they handle all their own expenses, including taxes and insurance.

You simply hire them to perform a specific job, pay them for their time, and that’s it.

Increased productivity

Virtual assistants work without the distractions of an office environment, they’re able to focus and dedicate their time to getting tasks done.

Because they’re self-employed, their number one goal is client satisfaction. If they start slacking off and missing deadlines, it’s unlikely the company will hire them for future work.

Improved work quality

How much time do you spend every day on “busy” work like checking emails, answering phone calls, or managing your website?

How much more productive could you be if someone was there to handle all those nonessential tasks for you? Then you’d be able to dedicate more time to growing and marketing your business.
