Hire a Remote Executive AssistantCalendar, inbox and follow-through — owned, not just monitored.
A real executive assistant doesn't wait for instructions. They protect your calendar, triage your inbox, chase the things you forgot you delegated, and hand you a clean day. Most founders hire an admin and wonder why the load never lifted — the difference is scope, vetting and ramp support.

Roles we place
Calendar management
Defends focus blocks, resolves conflicts, and preps every meeting.
Inbox triage
Sorts, drafts and escalates so you touch only what needs you.
Travel & logistics
Itineraries, bookings, changes and expense capture.
Meeting support
Agendas, notes, action items and follow-up chasing.
Research & briefs
AI-assisted prep docs on people, accounts and decisions.
Personal admin
The recurring life logistics that quietly eat executive time.
Executive assistant vs. general virtual assistant
A general VA executes tasks you assign. An executive assistant manages a portfolio of outcomes and decides what reaches you. That difference shows up in vetting: we test judgment, written communication and prioritization, not just tool familiarity.
If your list is task-based and repeatable, a general assistant is the better value. If your bottleneck is your own attention, you want an EA.
The first 30 days
Week one is shadowing and SOP building — we document how you actually work rather than guessing. Week two your EA takes over scheduling and low-risk inbox categories. By week four they're running meeting prep, follow-up chasing and the recurring operational cadence unattended.
- Day 1–7: shadow, document, set escalation rules
- Day 8–14: calendar ownership and inbox triage begin
- Day 15–30: meeting prep, follow-ups and reporting run unattended
- Structured check-ins at 7, 30 and 90 days
AI-enhanced, not AI-replaced
Every EA we place is trained on AI drafting, summarization and research tooling. That means faster briefs, cleaner meeting notes and first-draft replies in your voice — with a human accountable for what actually gets sent.
Fractional or full-time
Not every executive needs 40 hours. Fractional EA support starts at $19/hr and scales up as the scope grows. Dedicated full-time placement is a flat monthly rate, roughly 15% below the equivalent hourly rate, and month-to-month is available from day one.
Frequently asked questions
- What does a remote executive assistant do?
- A remote EA owns calendar management, inbox triage, meeting prep and follow-through, travel logistics, research briefs and recurring operational admin. The defining trait is judgment: they decide what reaches you rather than waiting for task assignments.
- How much does a remote executive assistant cost?
- Fractional EA support starts at $19/hr (Foundational) and $25/hr (Growth). Dedicated full-time placement is a flat monthly rate per professional, roughly 15% below the equivalent hourly rate — typically a fraction of a comparable US-based EA salary plus benefits.
- Is a remote EA dedicated to me or shared across clients?
- Dedicated. Your executive assistant works only with you, learns your preferences, and retains context. We never rotate a shared pool through your calendar.
- How quickly can a remote EA start?
- Most executive assistant placements are filled in about two weeks from intake, with meaningful calendar and inbox ownership by the end of week two on the job.
- What tools do your executive assistants use?
- Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, Slack, Notion, Asana, ClickUp, HubSpot, Calendly and standard AI assistants. If you use something niche, we train for it during onboarding.
