The Cybertary Company

Cybertary, Inc. was founded in Roseville, California in 2005 to meet the growing demand for reliable and professional administrative outsourcing and is now positioned to grow into a diverse, talented, nationwide, creative network of Virtual Assistants (VAs) who collaborate to meet the ever-changing administrative needs of the small business owner.

Cybertary: The Short Story

Founder Patricia Beckman spent nearly twenty years in diverse office and financial management environments. Working in the corporate world provided Patricia with the training and experience in all of the latest applications and technology solutions.

In her last several years in the corporate world, Patricia juggled a heavy workload and business travels with growing family responsibilities of raising two small children with her husband Doug, who also had a demanding career. She felt strongly that there had to be an easier way to "do it all"; a way to nurture and enjoy a thriving career AND be there for her family.

During those often-hectic years, Patricia decided to design a way for highly skilled executive administrative workers to earn a professional wage while maintaining work/life balance. She wanted such a business model in her own life but also wished to make it available for many parents, caregivers and others who were having the same struggles balancing the important aspects of life and work. As a result, Mrs. Beckman founded Cybertary, thus fulfilling her personal mission to provide opportunities for career-minded professionals to leave the corporate world while enjoying the flexibility of working at home and building their own business.
