About VA Bilingual Services
Meet Ashling Cahill
International Experience. Bilingual Expertise. Personal Advice
Originally from Ireland, I began my career as an International Travel Consultant, gaining my IATA/UFTAA qualifications in Dublin before relocating to Paris in 1992.
With over 30 years of professional experience in France, I have worked extensively with senior executives, international companies and private clients, providing bilingual executive assistance, business support and project coordination in both English and French.
Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with organisations including Disneyland Paris, Baker McKenzie, Deloitte & Touche, Vogue US, PwC, the OECD, Herbalife and BNP Paribas, across sectors including leisure, legal, finance, HR, consulting, media and international business.
Today, through VA Bilingual Services, I provide flexible, discreet and personalised support to businesses, executives and private clients in France and internationally.
My extensive experience working across cultures enables me to understand the demands of international clients and to act as a trusted link between English-speaking clients and their French environment.
Whether you need ongoing business support, assistance with a specific project, help managing a property in France, relocation assistance or a trusted local contact, I offer a professional and highly personalised service.
WHY WORK WITH VA BILINGUAL SERVICES ?
I provide bilingual assistance, both personal and professional, with proficiency in both French and English.
My services are available to companies and individuals, whether they are based in France, internationally,
or are expatriates considering relocation to or already situated in France.
With over 30 years of professional experience in France and an international perspective, I understand the
demands of working across languages, cultures and business environments. I bring a practical, adaptable
and discreet approach to supporting clients, whether they are based in France or working internationally.

Europe Manager,

"Superb support! I contacted Ashling to help me out on some translation support - she was quick to respond and I was immediately reassured by her professional but also friendly manner. She understood my needs and helped me navigate through some complex online and on the phone forums to get the information I needed. Ashling went the extra mile including staying on the phone to authorities until late on a Friday night to help me get the information I needed. I will definitely get in contact with Ashling anytime I need translation help and I strongly recommend her".
"Ashling has supported me in a variety of tasks when my own French language skills were not sufficient. Ashling is now my go to person for bilingual support. Being based in Dubai, it is reassuring for me to know that I have Ashling as reliable support based locally in France with an in depth knowledge of procedures and customs. She is highly communicative, updating me on tasks throughout ! I would highly recommend her services".

BOOSTER TO SUCCESS
"Ashling has worked with us on a number of team building course translations into English. Her linguistic skills in French and English make her a first-rate collaborator. We also appreciated her rigour, precision and excellent organisation in order to deliver quality texts".
"I had the pleasure of availing of Ashling's services for over 2 years. She tackled the most complex issues around the setup of our new office and solved problems that had dragged on for months. Her determination and result-focus are legendary and brought us great value. She is perfectly bi-lingual French-English. On top of that, she is a fun lady to work with. I would highly recommend Ashling to anyone struggling with French administration, supplier issues and red tape".
