What this site does
This site explains how delegated executive assistant work is usually organised, so you can decide what to hand off and what to ask before you do. When you send a request through the form, we pass it to a service partner that provides remote executive assistant support. That partner contacts you, agrees a scope and quotes you directly.
Who it suits
- Founders and solo executives whose inbox and calendar have outgrown them
- Small leadership teams who want shared support without a full-time hire yet
- Executives who travel often and want bookings, itineraries and expenses handled
- Anyone who has tried an assistant before and wants a clearer setup this time
How an engagement usually works
- You send a short request describing your workload and tools.
- The partner replies with questions and a call to understand your week.
- You receive a written proposal: tasks, hours, coverage window, how access is handled and how the arrangement can change or end.
- If you accept, you set up delegated access, agree a playbook and start with a trial period of drafts and review.
- You meet regularly to adjust scope as more work moves over.
What we think good support looks like
Clear written rules about what the assistant can do alone. Delegated access instead of shared passwords. A daily summary you can read in two minutes. A list of things that always come back to you. And an easy way to end the arrangement, with access removed the same day.
Tools the work usually runs on
Most executive assistant work happens inside tools you already use: Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for mail, calendar and documents; a team chat app for quick questions and urgent flags; a business password manager for the few logins that can't be delegated; and whatever your bookkeeper uses for receipts and expenses. A good setup adds very little new software. If a provider wants you to move your email or calendar into their own system, ask why.
Questions worth asking any provider
- Who will work on my account, and how is holiday or sick cover handled?
- How do you handle access, and what happens to it when we stop?
- What hours are covered, and how do urgent items reach me outside them?
- How are hours tracked and reported, and what if a week runs over?
- What notice is needed to change scope or end the arrangement?
What this site is not
We don't place employees, run a staffing agency or offer legal, tax or HR advice. Pages describe common practice; check anything security-sensitive against your own company policies.
