FAQs

A virtual executive assistant (VEA) is a professional trained in administrative tasks who works remotely on a contract basis.

VEAs can handle a variety of tasks including email management, calendar scheduling, research, travel planning, and event coordination. For a comprehensive overview, visit our services page and download our "25 Things to Delegate to a Virtual Executive Assistant" PDF here.

While VEAs are excellent for administrative tasks, it’s best to leave strategy, sales, and business development to your internal team. VEAs can support these areas with lead generation, scheduling social posts, and cross-team collaboration. They are not web designers, marketing experts, expert copywriters, or accountants, but we can refer you to top professionals in these fields.

Our pricing starts between $45-$55/hour, depending on the company size and complexity of support needed. We offer customized quotes based on your specific needs.

Absolutely. During the matching process, we identify assistants familiar with the tools you use—whether that’s Slack, Asana, Notion, Salesforce, QuickBooks, or something industry-specific. If training is needed, we ensure there’s time allocated for onboarding.

All assistants sign confidentiality agreements and follow secure data-handling practices. We use encrypted tools for communication and file sharing, and assistants are trained in best practices for handling sensitive information.
