Hello everyone,

I haven't read all the replies to this thread but thought that I would share my experiences in sub-contracting.
I was hired by another VA to do the bookkeeping for one of her clients. It was my understanding that it was an on-going project but once I caught her client's books up and finished for the year I never heard another word from her (at least not after the cheque arrived).
So, if I learned nothing else from this, it is this:
COMMUNICATION.
If she wasn't happy with my work I would have really liked to have been told what I did wrong so that I could correct it and if she only wanted someone to help catch up that would have been nice to know also. I did email several times but never heard anything back.
I also did praticum work under two very excellent VA's and their feedback was very helpful in developing my VA business.
In the future if I am ever ask to sub contract again I will read my contract much more carefully and insist on at least weekly communication if not more often.
