    What Does a Virtual Executive Assistant Do?

    Hire a Virtual Executive Assistant who operates as your right hand. High-trust, high-context support for founders and executives who need someone to own their schedule, protect their time, and run the operational backbone of their day.

    The problem: You are the bottleneck. Meetings get scheduled over each other. Emails sit unanswered. Board prep happens the night before. Travel gets booked wrong. You're spending three hours a day on coordination work that has nothing to do with your actual job as a founder or executive. You don't need another task manager. You need someone with the judgment and initiative to own your operational layer and protect your time without being micromanaged.

    Email triage, drafting, and inbox zero protocols

    How We Manage Your Virtual Executive Assistant

    Your Virtual Executive Assistant is onboarded in week one with access to your calendar, email, and task systems. They build a preference document covering scheduling rules, communication protocols, and priority filters. Your BSE tracks weekly: calendar accuracy, inbox SLA, briefing delivery, and executive time freed. Monthly reviews assess how well your EA is anticipating needs, not just completing tasks.

    Virtual Executive Assistant FAQ

    Common questions from US businesses hiring a remote Virtual Executive Assistant.

    An Admin Assistant handles task-level operations: data entry, scheduling, document formatting. A Virtual Executive Assistant operates at a higher level, managing priorities, preparing executive-level communications, coordinating across stakeholders, and exercising judgment about what deserves your attention and what does not.

    Yes. Your EA signs an NDA before day one. Board materials, investor updates, cap table documents, and sensitive correspondence are handled under that agreement from a company-secured device.

    Your EA can attend meetings to take notes, track action items, and follow up on commitments. For live customer-facing or board-level calls, they typically operate in a support capacity. Active communication preferences are agreed during onboarding.

    Cross-team coordination is a core function. Your EA follows up with department heads, tracks project deadlines, and escalates blockers to you with context rather than dumping raw updates.

    Your EA works hours aligned to your timezone. US founders typically choose EST or PST coverage. The working schedule is confirmed at placement so your calendar is always covered during your active hours.

    Yes. Personal travel booking, restaurant reservations, personal appointments, and similar lifestyle coordination tasks can be included in the scope. This is agreed at engagement start.

    Most executives start with 160h/month (Full-Time) for dedicated daily coverage. For founders who want support 3 days per week or less, 80h/month (Part-Time) is available.
