Frequently Asked Questions

Following are the questions we hear most often:

  • What’s a Virtual Professional (VP)?

 A virtual professional is an expert in any field that does his/her work remotely, typically on an on-demand, independent contractor, project basis.

  • How does Actually DONE chose its VPs?

Actually DONE partners only with virtual professionals with significant experience in their fields (business), excellent consulting skills, the get-it-done attitude of the most valued individual contributors and follow our core values 100% of the time.

  • What’s the difference between a Virtual Professional (VP)  and a Virtual Assistant (VA)?

Most VA’s provide administrative support to take routine tasks off the plates of busy professionals. They can be hired via numerous online service providers typically for $6-$40/hour. A VP is a highly experienced, reliable professional with advanced skills. Our VP's can scope projects, recommend strategy and complete your on-demand mission-critical projects on time and on budget. VPs are an excellent solution when you have a skill or bandwidth gap in your organization.

  • How is a Virtual Professional (VP) different from a Consultant?

 Consultants typically gather information and make recommendations. Whereas a VP also executes the strategy on a project basis until it’s completed.  If you have a trusted consultant, our VP's can complete the projects resulting from the consultant's recommendations. See blog on this topic.


  • The project we need help with is not in marketing, recruiting or project management... can you still do it?

Actually DONE has a network of professionals in diverse skill areas (business, IT, the arts and more.) Give us a call to discuss your project.  If we do not have someone in our network, we will help you recruit and screen a great virtual professional.

  • Will you take on projects that are not for positive impact organizations or conscious businesses?

Our mission is to propel organizations forward that believe in the triple bottom line. If you feel your project will improve the planet, we will evaluate it against our expertise and core values.
