Who typically hires a Fractional Executive Assistant?
Our typical clients are non-executive board members, entrepreneurs, business owners, and C-suite executives. Most of our clients have had an executive assistant previously and understand the value they bring to the table. However, if this is your first time working with an assistant, we’re experts at managing up and helping you maximize your partnership with your Growth Digital specialist.
What are some of the responsibilities a Fractional Executive Assistant can take on and what are responsibilities that are off-limits?
Our assistants are entrusted with a diverse range of responsibilities, from making appointments (personal or business-related), vetting vendors, and managing your inbox to creating PowerPoint presentations, updating spreadsheets, and making travel arrangements. We’ve found that a fully remote Growth Digital assistant can complete upwards of 95% of the functions of an on-site executive assistant. These tasks, projects and support all fall under the five performance multipliers detailed in our book of business: partner, chief of staff, project manager, assistant/scheduler, and personal assistant.
Arrangements can be made so your Growth Digital assistant can travel to support your needs, though this is outside the standard scope and would include travel costs, per diem, and day rates. These arrangements are also subject to availability.
Can an assistant manage my inbox?
Yes, they can. Your Growth Digital assistant has the skill set to manage, direct, prioritize, and triage your inbox according to your preferences. Some of our clients even trust their **Growth Digital assistant** to answer certain emails on their behalf. Your **Growth Digital assistant’s** level of involvement in your inbox is never set in stone. You can adjust your preferences as your relationship progresses and your Growth Digital assistant earns your trust.
How much does a Fractional Executive Assistant cost?
Our plans start at around $600 per month for daily, full-service support. Keep in mind that you will not pay payroll taxes, benefits, equipment costs, or expenses.
