Trusty Oak has proven time and time again to be a professional, reliable and responsive virtual assistant service for our small business. We desperately needed help with invoicing, translating documents from English to Spanish, scheduling and social media posts but did not want to hire multiple resources to perform those duties. Trusty Oak was the perfect solution to our problem.
Amber is fantastic. Not only does she get the job done every single time, but she proactively goes above and beyond to ensure she saves me as much time as possible. I highly recommend Trusty Oak.
I have worked with Amber on several website projects and her work is top notch. I am amazed by her attention to detail and her ability to drive a schedule. If you want something done well, and fast, Trusty Oak is what you are looking for!
It took a while to open to the idea of a PA – as a new business owner, I thought I could do everything. Well, I was wrong! Letting go of the things I don’t know how to do, or don’t do well at all and handing them to Trusty Oak helped me immensely. They take care of my website and social media and much more, and leave me time as the business owner to do the stuff I’m good at.
Now I know TopMac and Trusty Oak have to go together.
Working with Trusty Oak has been an absolute pleasure. After several failed attempts with other VA firms, I have finally found a responsive, trustworthy, dependable assistant. Elisabeth is resourceful and creative, adding much more value than the bare bones inbox and calendar management I was looking for. If you’re looking for a fractional assistant you can trust from day one, I highly recommend you work with Trusty Oak.
Last month, I had the opportunity to spend a full month away from Trusty Oak’s Austin, Texas-based headquarters and wow, was it an adventure! Although part of my time away was meant to enjoy a much-needed vacation in Croatia, three weeks in June were devoted to taking a deep dive into the world of remote work. I spent two weeks working remotely from Hamburg, Germany, one week working remotely part-time from Bali, Indonesia and capped off the trip by attending a two-day conference for leaders of remote teams.
At Trusty Oak, we’re all entrepreneurs: from our CEO and founder, Amber Gray, who created our company, to each and every virtual assistant (VA). As VAs, we each operate as independent contractors, and many of us also own other small businesses—from small-batch coffee roasters to pet sitters to off-shore fishing companies.
Whether your team is remote or in a classic office, you can build a winning team culture. For a lot of employers and employees, a positive team culture seems like something you either have or you don’t. Maybe it’s just the right personalities coming together, maybe the boss is so charismatic that there’s this intangible “atmosphere” at work. The reality is, a winning team culture is something intentional—you build it and cultivate it, and there are tools and practices that help. We’re here to share how we’ve built a winning team culture at Trusty Oak, and we’ve done it all remotely.
