Your Tandem Desk
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about working with Your Tandem Desk.
What is a virtual administrative assistant?
A professional who provides agreed administrative services remotely, without the need for a permanent on-site employee.
Do I need to book a monthly retainer?
No. Ad-hoc support is available at £35 per hour, subject to availability.
How do I pay?
Monthly retainers and ongoing packages are payable in advance. Ad-hoc work and one-off projects require a 50% deposit before work begins, with the balance arranged in the quotation.
Can unused retainer hours carry over?
Yes, for one additional month if you renew your retainer. Carried-over hours are used first and expire at the end of the following month. They cannot accumulate indefinitely.
Can you create social media content?
Social media account administration includes agreed routine monitoring and responses, but not content creation, graphics or marketing campaigns.
Are you available 24/7?
No. Working arrangements and response expectations are agreed individually, so you know when support will be provided.
What if my requirements don't fit a listed package?
Please get in touch for a tailored quotation based on your business and workload.
How will my business information be handled?
Confidentiality and access arrangements will be discussed before work starts. Any access to your business accounts or documents will be agreed in advance, with appropriate data protection and security measures set out in our working arrangements.
Are inbox management and social media administration fixed-price services?
These services are quoted individually, because every business has a different volume of messages and administrative needs. We’ll agree the tasks, expected workload and fees before support begins.
