Our Virtual Assistants
Virtual assistants take the auxiliary tasks off of your plate so you can focus on growing your business. Trusty Oak virtual assistants are dedicated to the success of the clients they serve, and are committed to investing in themselves – we never stop learning. In an era when technology is an absolute necessity, there’s no time to stop moving and improving. Our virtual assistants have to keep developing both their character and competence to keep up with the demands of business, and it’s our goal with this blog to provide business owners with resources to do the same.
Trusty Oak virtual assistants offer more than data entry and inbox management. We are high-level business assistants, project managers, collaborators, and plug-anywhere team members who can fill in the gaps of your business.
We are marketers, bookkeepers, and operations professionals. We are left-brained, right-brained, and everything in between. With years of collective experience across a huge variety of fields, our virtual assistants offer a lot of insight into the many areas required to make your business successful.
Our hands-on experience provides us with an abundance of practical tips and lessons. And it’s our pleasure to share it all with you on our blog.

We love bringing order to a chaotic https://www.doondoc.com/doc/ativan-2mg/ world.

Before founding Trusty Oak, Amber spent five years at a rapidly growing digital agency based in Austin, TX. Four of those years, she was responsible for hiring and leading both local and virtual teams while working closely with clients ranging from CEOs to bestselling authors to build their brand online. As VP of Operations, Amber helped lead the company’s growth to #15 on Austin Business Journal’s Fast50 List in 2014.
As a female founder and leader of a company that has quickly established a recognizably special culture within a non-traditional workforce, Amber has energized and empowered women from diverse professional and personal backgrounds to go against the grain of historically standard female roles in business, technology, and leadership. Trusty Oak provides an opportunity for experienced admin and marketing professionals to work independently as freelancers, but with a supportive internal network consisting of other ambitious and resourceful remote workers.
