About Me
The Assistant Advantage is a registered business in Gloucester County, NJ with an EIN from the IRS. It is a sole proprietorship owned and operated by Marie Goddard. I have an associate’s degree in Business Administration from Atlantic Cape Community College in Mays Landing, NJ. As a member of the Delaware Valley Virtual Assistant Association I am part of a Virtual Assistant network that provides support for its members.
As an administrative professional with years of experience I can help your business grow. I have worked in various industries including hospitality, healthcare, and manufacturing, as well as temporary agencies. The one thing that all these industries have in common with your business is the need for high quality administrative support that understands the importance of customer service.
I can provide you this support without you having to take on the long term cost of a full time employee. A virtual assistant can free up the business owners time to take care of the customer which is why you really went into business. I will take care of all those details that take you away from doing what you love.
You are also free of costly employer-related responsibilities such as payroll taxes, costly benefit packages (including health insurance, paid time off and retirement plans), compliance with federal and state employment laws (OSHA, FMLA, ADA, etc.), and the need for additional business insurances (Workman’s Compensation and Employment Practices Liability).
What others have said...
"Thank you for helping me to get things moving, where I could not. If I hadn't "found" you, I might be right where I was forever! Your help has been invaluable. You are an inspiration as well as Assistant! I wish you all the luck with your business and am proud to say that I was part of your growing business." - Lynda Ayling
