Local Entrepreneur Offers More Than 150 Back Office Support Services for Chicago Businesses

CHICAGO – The days of doing it alone are over in Chicago for local business owners and management.

Cybertary, the first and only virtual assistant franchise serving North American businesses with affordable back office support, announced today the opening of its newest office, covering all of Chicago.

Cybertary provides a compendium of more than 150 services ranging from presentation preparation and data processing to bookkeeping and graphic design work, all completed remotely leveraging advanced technology to communicate and work with clients, who only pay for productive time on task.

\"A void exists locally for skilled independent specialists that will work on a project-by-project basis,\" said Kelly Tanaka, owner of Chicago’s Cybertary office. \"I look forward to leveraging my skills and Cybertary’s collaborative team of highly-skilled professionals to provide remote business support for local entrepreneurs.\"

Cybertary helps business owners and management focus on what they do best, while Cybertary takes care of the rest. Aligning with community businesses to help owners and management develop a cost-effective strategy for the overwhelming amount of back office support it takes to run a business, Cybertary identifies and develops a strategy for everyday challenges.

\"Cybertaries provide the highest quality services within their expertise and do not try to be all things to all people,\" said Patricia Beckman, the CEO and founder of Cybertary, who founded the company in 2005. \"Our team of highly qualified professionals is able to support projects that are outside an individual business owner’s skill sets. Plus, business owners save time and money using Cybertary because they don’t have to pay for a traditional employee to do the work, which saves them from paying for office equipment needs and employee salary or hourly wages, benefit hours, health or dental insurance and more.\"

After more than 17 years of experience in sales and marketing, Tanaka was ready for a fresh change. She wanted the quality of her work to have a larger impact on a business, and realized that what she enjoyed most was working with small businesses and entrepreneurs. Tanaka decided to shed the constraints of corporate America to open Chicago’s first Cybertary office.

As a collaborative network of professionals, Cybertary is able to optimize the talents of its franchisees and its team members. Virtual assistants have the ability to tap into each other’s applicable strengths on a client by client basis.

And, with its self-imposed Patriot Policy, all Cybertary team members are North American citizens, a security measure which helps ensure work is not outsourced overseas and that Cybertary offices are following local and national laws. All Cybertary offices carry insurance and comply with non-disclosure, non-competition commitments.
