Meet CEO Elizabeth Funderbirk & The YRS Team
The Journey of Your Reliable Source
In 2017, I launched my official business website as a way to showcase the skills and services I had been offering to clients on a freelance basis. At that time, it was a side hustle alongside my full-time job. However, in 2020, I took a leap of faith and transitioned to running Your Reliable Source full-time as a Virtual Assistant. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills, researched my industry, completed courses, and transformed my side hustle into a thriving business.
​
My extensive employment background has uniquely prepared me to excel in the virtual assistant industry. From the age of 14, I’ve been in the workforce, demonstrating my dedication and commitment. I’ve had the privilege of working with reputable companies like Wells Fargo Mortgage (where I earned my mortgage certification), Ionos MyWebsite, and M&T Bank. These roles provided invaluable guidance, growth opportunities, and knowledge that I now leverage to build and run a Reliable Virtual Assistant business.
​
In addition, I was part of a team that helped develop a start-up company featured on Shark Tank. I’ve also assisted small businesses in launching their social media networks, created policies, and implemented training protocols.
​
Through continuous training, research, and hands-on experience, I’ve developed expertise in website development using template-based platforms. My clients range from authors, artists, and musicians to tutors, boutiques, nurses, physical therapists, and more.
​
I’ve worked in quality assurance, contributed to the creation of databases, and managed client relations for both startups and major corporations. Currently, I am contracted as a Virtual Assistant for one of the top travel agencies in the U.S., where I handle tasks such as travel documentation, payment processing, email communication, tracking results, and general administrative duties.
​
I’ve also been contracted to assist a vacation rental property, handling employee recruitment, marketing, brand management, and creating a standard operations manual. Additionally, I have provided recruiting services for an REO inspection company with hubs in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, utilizing platforms like Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Craigslist, and social media.
​
Beyond my VA work, I contribute to blog writing, have authored two published novels, and participated in an anthology. I’ve served on various boards, assisted in founding a nonprofit organization, and handled research, fundraising, and database management for contributors, partners, and board members.
​
In short, my background in communications, customer service, recruiting, and office management has equipped me for success as an independent contractor. By utilizing my diverse skill set, I provide personalized attention to each project, ensuring flexibility and high-quality results for every client.
