The work

Tasks this hire takes

A virtual assistant for consulting runs proposals, scheduling and the engagement file.

The consultant still owns the advice and the client recommendation.

Two jobs shape a normal week for consulting & professional services: Build the proposal from the deck you approved, and schedule workshops across the time zones you named. Firms hire for that rhythm, not for an empty inbox.

  • Build the proposal from the deck you approved

  • Schedule workshops across the time zones you named

  • Chase the data the consultant listed

  • Keep the engagement folder to the folder rules

  • Prepare invoices from the milestones you set

Build the proposal from the deck you approved. For consulting & professional services, that work sits beside Notion, Google Drive or SharePoint. The principal still makes the call above it.

Schedule workshops across the time zones you named. Ask each finalist for consulting & professional services when they last did this, and whether they did it in Notion, Google Drive or SharePoint.

The brief for consulting & professional services should treat this as a standing job: chase the data the consultant listed. Notion, Google Drive or SharePoint is where the office checks it.

Keep the engagement folder to the folder rules. If the hire has not used Notion, Google Drive or SharePoint, the first month for consulting & professional services includes learning it, and the principal still reviews the output.

Prepare invoices from the milestones you set. For consulting & professional services, write down what done looks like, and who is told when it is finished.

Day one

Software in the brief

Name Notion, Google Drive or SharePoint in the brief for consulting & professional services when the hire will use it in the first week.

Say whether Calendly or the firm diary is required on day one for consulting & professional services, or taught after the start.

A short task in Xero or Harvest for the milestone invoice can be part of the interview for consulting & professional services, if you want to see the work.

You grant access to The proposal template, not a new methodology. For consulting & professional services, the hire should have that login before week two.

  • Notion, Google Drive or SharePoint

  • Calendly or the firm diary

  • Xero or Harvest for the milestone invoice

  • The proposal template, not a new methodology

The line

Compliance boundary

The hire does not invent findings or send advice you have not read.

For consulting & professional services, the interview repeats the boundary above. The hire should be able to say what they will not decide.

The first 90 days

  1. 01

    Days 1 to 30 for consulting & professional services are for learning Notion, Google Drive or SharePoint and the way the office already hands work across.

  2. 02

    By day 60 this should be routine for consulting & professional services: Chase the data the consultant listed.

  3. 03

    The day-90 review asks one question for consulting & professional services: is “Prepare invoices from the milestones you set” happening without you chasing it?

What we ask before we search

  • On the call for consulting & professional services, we ask who does this today: build the proposal from the deck you approved.
  • We ask which of these the hire for consulting & professional services must open on day one: Notion, Google Drive or SharePoint, Calendly or the firm diary, Xero or Harvest for the milestone invoice.
  • For consulting & professional services, we ask you to say the line a new starter must not cross.

Shared hours are written into the brief for consulting & professional services before anyone is approached.
