Frequently asked questions

Are there any additional charges?

Any additional specific costs incurred such as stationery, postage, packaging will be charged separately at cost price. Your consent will be obtained before proceeding.

Urgent work or work outside our normal hours may incur a premium.

What is the client portal?

Our retainer clients have access to their very own secure client portal where they can view live updates, review documents, pay invoices and book appointments.

What happens if I go over my hours?

Any work carried out after your retained hours have been used will be charged at your package's equivalent hourly rate.

We will notify you when you are nearing your limit, and we will have regular reviews to ensure you are on the right package for your needs.

Is there a minimum charge?

Yes, there is a minimum charge of 1 hour for ad hoc work.

What happens if I don't use my retained hours?

10% of any unused hours can be rolled over to the following month.

We will have regular reviews to ensure you are on the right package for your needs.

What are the payment terms?

Our retainer work is invoiced at the package rate in advance, at the start of the month.

Our ad hoc work is invoiced at the end of the month. In some cases a deposit may be payable upfront.

Payment is due within 7 calendar days from the date on the invoice. If you do not pay by the due date, we may charge interest and reschedule further work until payment is made.

Can you provide time tracking reports?

We track all our time with the use of professional software. If you would like a copy of the report, just ask your virtual assistant.

If you are one of our retainer clients, you will have 24/7 access to live updates showing the time we have spent on your tasks that month and the current status of each task.

"I came across Ashwood VA whilst searching for a virtual assistant and I'm so glad I found her! She has been fantastic from the start and always there to offer guidance, new ideas, support when I'm stuck and works at a pace I am comfortable with. Since working together the biggest transformation is my CRM. Right from our first phone call, I have had more clarity and feel a lot less overwhelmed, giving me more time to focus on photography and other aspects of my business. If you are on the fence about getting a VA, get in touch with Emilie, she has been a massive help"

If every peak season feels just as frantic as the last, and you’re not sure why things never seem to get easier, this might be a helpful read.

When did you last update your Google Business Profile… be honest now 😅 

If you want your photography business to be easier to find (and look legit when people Google you), a quick update is worth doing.

Have a look at your Google Business Profile and check:

👉 Is your contact info still correct?

👉 Does your description match what's on your website/socials?

👉 Are your services accurate?

👉 Are your opening times up to date?

👉 Have you filled in ALL the boxes Google gives you?

Google takes any sign of an active business as a good thing, and this is one of those things that’s easy to put off, but makes a difference once it’s up to date.

Ten minutes. Done.

Bonus point 👉 If you REALLY want to push the boat out, add quick update while you’re there. You don’t need to write anything new, copying over your last Instagram post is enough.
