About Virtual Trading Management
From the Dining Table to the Toolbox
Virtual Trade Management (VTM) was born at the kitchen table of founder Prescilla Pearson, after years of seeing skilled tradies pushed to breaking point not by the work, but by the paperwork. What started as a one-woman mission to help local tradespeople get their evenings back has grown into a specialised, multi-skilled support team helping businesses across Australia.
We know the trade industry because we’ve lived it. With over 12 years’ experience in administration, project management and business improvement particularly in construction, maintenance, and compliance we understand the pressures tradies face: long days on site, admin piling up at night, and no room to breathe, let alone grow.
We Get It—Because We’ve Built for It
We don’t offer generic virtual assistant services. We offer something built specifically for tradies:
A reliable, plain-talking support crew that keeps your back office running while you keep the tools moving.
Our approach is hands-on, practical, and tailored to real-world trade businesses. Whether you’re quoting in the ute between jobs or trying to onboard your first apprentice, we meet you where you’re at with the right systems, support, and strategy to help you grow.
