Hire a Back Office VAThe handoff
What should be visible after the work moves
A useful role produces a queue your reviewer can inspect, not a private list only the assistant understands.
Current document index
Missing inputs and exceptions have named next steps.
Visible missing-file queue
The internal owner can review without rebuilding the work.
Review boundary
Preparation moves out. Final authority does not.
Your VA follows your retention and access rules. Legal-hold decisions, deletion approval, retention policy, and access authorization remain with designated owners.
Define the first workflow
Build a focused document management role.
Start with the current queue, the source of truth, the deadline, and the person who keeps final approval.
