- rickydroll 2y agoI found him through a stroke of luck. My first need was for someone to get the invoices out in time and to nag me to keep my work log up-to-date. I was talking to some people about how to find an assistant, and they pointed me to my current assistant. How do I trust him? Time and experience. I started with small tasks and expanded them as we developed trust. That and I control all the money. If you're going to get an assistant, look carefully at your needs. Start with what causes you the most grief, what you hate doing, and what you avoid doing. For me, it's financial paperwork. He now keeps track of all the expenses and invoices and makes sure my accountant gets the data. This year, he can start giving quarterly updates to my accountant so I'm not getting a $$$ surprise on taxes.
