Virtual Executive Assistants, Tailored to Startups

Stressed out at work? Spread too thin? Are you ready to spend more time doing what you love? Uniquely Virtual is an Atlanta-based virtual executive assistant firm that offers a host of services to startups, non-profits and retired executives. It was founded to offer flexible administrative options in the post-recession workplace.

Rather than relying on contractors like many other virtual assistant firms, Uniquely Virtual hires its team on a part-time or full-time basis. They receive salary, health-care benefits and a flexible work environment. On October 24th, the team introduced a powerful online platform designed to streamline the workflow process and provide an even more efficient level of service to clients. The platform will allow for greater access to potential clientele, and ultimately result in hiring more employees.

She has now done this twice and as a result, has developed a service-driven holding company, named KEMBI – “Uniquely Served Businesses for Social Enterprise. Kenzie and her colleagues work together to help empower, enable and engage the community in addressing urgent social needs and problems that affect us all. These include support of meaningful but under-funded non-profit initiatives as well as under-served small businesses.
