There are several job types that can be done remotely – most with the same level (if not higher) of compensation as working from the office. These include:

They can access these systems to manage inventory, track their financials, perform reconciliation, and maintain customer relationship management (CRM) systems. Companies can hire Bookkeeping staff from anywhere in the county by using a staffing agency such as GL Staffing Service, Inc.

There are very few barriers to entry for work from home customer service representatives. All you need is a computer and a headset. Calls are VoIP so there is no need for a physical telephone or even a phone line. A great benefit for employers is the ability to have shifts outside of business hours, this allows companies to handle more customer-related issues during times when traditional in-office calls would stop.  This model is a favorite for call centers as they no longer have to maintain large buildings and systems and can still service their clients.

Some positions focus solely on administrative tasks like maintaining calendars and schedules and invoicing clients while others require experience in copywriting and social media management. These tasks can all be done remotely and communication can be done via apps such as Slack and Microsoft Teams that allow the sharing of ideas, documents, and calendars.

With the advancement of audio equipment, recordings can easily be made and uploaded to the cloud, the transcriptionist can download, transcribe and upload the files without having to be in the office.
