Personal Assistant

Hiring Personal Assistant to help with personal business: organization, finances, and communications.   

Useful skills/experience may include: interpersonal communication skills, a logical business mind and the ability to apply it to personal interactions, knowledge of accounting, organizational skills, tech savvy, experience with Americans in business, consulting experience (you will be consulting with me), experience interviewing new hires.    

The ideal candidate would have some business background and excellent skills for organizing information and especially handling business communications.  Someone who thinks as clearly as I do, and is also very good with people.  

Pay is negotiable.  

Work schedule can be flexible, prefer meetings early in day, for now probably an hour or so per day several days a week, maybe more initially.  Work site can be arranged, as we could work in person and/or by remote.  I am NYC-based, and work at home in the Bronx and by laptop at sites that can be selected by mutual convenience.     

I am semi-retiring from my successful business (editing and consulting on academic writing) where communications were mainly in writing, and, in the early stages of a new career as writer and film actor, am looking for help and advice as I learn to perform some management and communications tasks more effectively that involve both work and personal business.  My current challenges include the need to handle more sophisticated accounting procedures involving both new paid work activities and investments, and my preferred management and communication style, which presents some challenges in doing business in the American business environment today, to which I am now imperfectly adapted, and which mainly concern spoken communications with some businesses and other professionals.  Much of the work would be discussing with me how to handle various matters, as an advising consultant.
