What an executive assistant owns

  • Calendar strategydeciding what is worth your hour, and pushing back on what is not.
  • Inboxdrafting rights, so you approve replies instead of writing them.
  • Meeting prepagendas, briefing notes, and an action list that gets chased.
  • Board and investorslogistics, including the deck assembly nobody wants.
  • Personal and householdcoordination, where the role is set up for it.
  • Gatekeepinghandling people who want your time without burning the relationship.

Screening for an executive assistant

  1. 1

    Discretion is the whole job

    They see compensation, board material and bad news first. Ask what they did when handed information they should not have had. That answer beats any reference.

  2. 2

    Test the anticipation, not the obedience

    Give them a messy week and ask what they would move. A strong assistant reorders it unasked. A weak one books exactly what you said and lets the conflict arrive.

  3. 3

    Match the working style, honestly

    Some executives want a daily call, others want silence and a Friday summary. Say which you are, because the mismatch here ends more placements than skill gaps do.

  4. 4

    Give it ninety days

    The role gets much better once they know your people and patterns. Judging it at three weeks is the most common way this goes wrong.

What it costs against a US hire

Full-time yearly cost. Executive support sits at the top of the administrative band because the role is judgment work rather than task work. Same figures as the salary guide and the calculators.

How hiring a executive assistant works here

Full breakdown on how it works.

  1. 1

    One 15-minute call

    You describe the role, the hours you need covered and the tools. We tell you honestly whether nearshore fits it.

  2. 2

    Vetted shortlist in 2-4 weeks

    Skills, spoken English and background checked before anyone reaches you. You run the interviews.

  3. 3

    One agreement, and they start

    You sign one Master Services Agreement with us. We engage and pay the professional; they work as part of your team, month to month.

Plan for about a two-week ramp once they start, and own that part: training, context, clear expectations and system access. We stay involved after the placement, so if something goes wrong on either side we mediate rather than leaving you to it.

Questions we get about this role

What is the difference between a virtual assistant and an executive assistant?
A virtual assistant works from a task list you set. An executive assistant sets part of that list themselves, protects your time, and makes small decisions on your behalf. The pay difference, roughly $21,600 against $27,000 in this region, reflects that judgment.
Will my executive assistant work my hours?
Yes. That is the reason this role is placed nearshore rather than offshore. Calendar defense and inbox triage only work if the person is awake while your day is happening.
How do I protect confidential information?
A confidentiality clause in the engagement agreement, access granted per system rather than in bulk, and a clear list of what the person may act on without asking. We set the agreement up as part of the placement.
Can an executive assistant support more than one person?
Two executives is common and workable. Three is where quality usually starts to slip, because the calendar conflicts stop being solvable and the person spends the day negotiating instead of assisting.
