OfficePioneer Puts New Twist on Virtual Offices
OfficePioneer may not be a virtual office industry pioneer, but it’s blazing a new trail in the virtual office space.
OfficePioneer bills itself as a “one stop” solution to saving your small to medium-sized business or start-up time and money by outsourcing your otherwise costly, administrative burdens. The company combines essential virtual office solutions, including a live receptionist, virtual assistants, accounting and payroll, and local meeting rooms, addresses and offices.
OfficePioneer lets you “rent” a live receptionist and virtual assistant at prices starting at $99 a month. That gets you one phone number, 50 live minutes, fax-to-e-mail service and voice-to-email service. All packages include a personalized company profile, a live receptionist from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST, live call screening, transfer and forwarding, among a myriad of other call features. Your live receptionist will also schedule meetings and appointments and process orders. You can track it all through an online dashboard.
OfficePioneer has partnered with business centers around the country to build a network of luxury meeting rooms and day offices you can use while you travel. With this network, you can tap into a prestigious business location at a reputable serviced office facility when you need to. But if you just need a virtual office locally, OfficePioneer has you covered. Like many virtual office providers, you can get a prestigious business address, business directory listing with lobby greeters, and mail and package reception.
What OfficePioneer offers that most virtual office companies don’t is accounting and payroll services. I found this especially intriguing. The company has paperless accounting and payroll service plans starting at just $29 a month. That’s so affordable I might actually try it out. OfficePioneer has a team of certified bookkeepers and public accountants that can do your books professionally—maybe better than you can. OfficePioneer has certifications from the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers and is also an Intuit Certified ProAdvisor.
If you want to check it out for yourself, you can opt for a 30-day free trial of OfficePioneer’s live receptionist service. OfficePioneer offers a quality service guarantee that makes getting started on the program fairly risk free. The only thing you’ll invest is a little time setting up the system for your preferences. I write about a lot of virtual office providers. OfficePioneer is one of the most innovative new upstarts in the virtual office space that I’ve seen in some time.
