Long before the catch phase, Virtual Office, came along, Sherry was paving the way from afar. In 1992 with a box of business cards, a typewriter and a newly purchased word processor, Sherry, opened for business offering office services to contractors working out of their trucks. The phrases "Virtual Assistant" and "Virtual Outsourcing" hadn't been coined yet but that was exactly what she was doing. Instead of sending tasks via email or through client portals, contractors would call in or mail their various tasks.
Today, Ms. Carnahan and her staff provide back office and marketing support Financial Advisors and Authors through her companies, Total Office, Inc. and
