In 2011, Audrey Isbell took a calculated risk and ended her employment to be closer to home. She knew she could either use her skill set to get another job — or she could start her own business with the experience and talents she had.
The result was a “secretarial service” in the small but quickly growing industry of Virtual Assistance. As the business flourished, Audrey acquired subcontractors and began to build a team to assist with the workload. By the end of the third year of business, the VA practice moved out of the house, and a year later it was re-branded as AVA Virtual Assistance.
In determining the company’s vision, we battled with the trending expectation that businesses need to “specialize,” serving only one type of client or doing only one type of task. We knew that would be limiting what we could offer our clients, who may have a need out of the “specialty” niche. In the end we decided to specialize after all . . . in solutions!
AVA Virtual Assistance has since been a creative solution for a variety of businesses who need a VA for a diverse range of tasks. Besides, Audrey says, “Specializing in Solutions is much more fun!”

Essential VAs
Audrey and her team have been our virtual assistants for three years now. She’s been essential for taking mundane tasks off our hands, as well as playing a critical role in rolling out and maintaining our website and LMS (learning management system) at royalwise.com. Even as we grow and add employees, we keep working with Audrey because we love her service so much!
Tremendous Client Care
As a CPA, I hesitated turning over control of my clients’ information to an outside firm. It didn’t take very long to realize this was a decision I should have made much earlier in my business lifecycle. Not only do they show tremendous client care to their primary client – me – but they show as much care to my clients as I do. I could not recommend Audrey and her team any higher!!
A Great Team
Audrey and the team are great. They have knocked down a handful of problems for my company and many many of our clients.
AVA Virtual Assistance has been a life saver for me
Like all business owners, there are lots of things that I prefer not to do myself, both because I don’t enjoy doing them and because I am not good that them. Audrey and AVA Virtual Assistance have been a life saver for me. I’m SO very grateful for Audrey and her team getting those things DONE!

Thank you Audrey!

Audrey and her team have been an amazing addition to my business and has allowed me to carve out the much needed bandwidth required to grow and scale.

I give my highest recommendation and encourage giving them a call.
