Penguin Office Services offers a wide variety of secretarial and other virtual office services including proofreading, copy writing, copy editing, audio typing / transcription, document design and layout, research, presentations, web design, website submission, credit control and other virtual office and business support services. See our services page for full details.

We can help small businesses to maximise their profits by concentrating on their core business while we take over peripheral functions. You save on time (no training required), money (you only pay us for the hours we work) and space (you don't need to provide us with desks ... or the equipment to go on them!) We can provide anything from a complete office service to specific work on a major project. Such work might include initial research into the viability of a business idea, design of a spreadsheet or database to hold data collected during the project, formatting and proofing of a report, or any number of other possibilities.

We can also provide these services to authors (e.g. indexing, proofreading ) students (e.g. dissertation or thesis proofreading and/or editing ), academics (ensuring journal submissions comply with house styles, proofreading ) and other individuals.

THINK TWICE before employing a temp or even a full time employee - save time, money and space by talking to Penguin Office Services.

WHAT IS A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT?

A V.A. can provide anything from administrative support to a full PA service, but rather than being on site with you the work is carried out largely over the internet. This means that we work with you as and when you need.

Virtual Assistants are not temps or employees but independent contractors who cater to the needs of the individual, small business or large corporation. We are professional partners, operating from fully equipped offices, who can provide support on one-off projects or on a long term basis.

Work assignments are communicated through e-mail, phone, fax, mail and disk. In addition to administrative support, Penguin Office Services offers many more specialised services such as editing, and business writing. For details of prices please see the pricing page.

For in depth advice on transcription please see our sister site Penguin Transcription
