Get your inbox and your calendar back

You are not behind because you are disorganised

You are behind because eighty emails a day, six scheduling threads and a stack of small decisions do not fit alongside the work only you can do. Most founders respond by working later, not by handing anything over.

The reason people hesitate is reasonable: explaining the work feels slower than doing it. That is true in week one. It stops being true in week three.

What our virtual administrative assistant handles

Inbox

• Daily triage — what needs you, what needs a reply, what needs deleting
• Drafting replies in your voice for your approval
• Replying directly on routine threads once you trust the pattern
• Following up on messages you sent that never got an answer
• Unsubscribing, filtering and folder structure that survives contact with reality
• Flagging anything urgent by whatever channel you actually check

Calendar

• Scheduling and rescheduling meetings
• Managing back-and-forth with the other party so you never see it
• Protecting focus blocks instead of letting the week fill up
• Meeting preparation — agenda, background, relevant documents
• Time zone coordination for international calls
• Reminders for the things you keep forgetting

Daily admin

• Travel research and booking — flights, hotels, ground transport, itineraries
• Expense tracking and receipt organisation
• Document formatting, filing and folder management
• Online research and summarising into something you can act on
• Form filling, applications and registrations
• Personal admin — appointments, subscriptions, renewals, reminders
• CRM and contact record upkeep

How it works

1. A 20-minute call. We work out what actually consumes your week — not what should, what does.
2. Week one: we watch and document. Your assistant learns your preferences and writes them down. You correct the drafts rather than write them.
3. Week two: we start handling. The routine work moves across. You review at the end of the day instead of during it.
4. From week three: you check the summary, not the inbox. We flag decisions, you make them.

Pricing

No setup fee. No long-term contract. Cancel with two weeks notice. Hours do not expire within the month. If your assistant is not the right fit, we will replace them at no cost — that is the point of the trial.

What we will tell you that others will not

The first two weeks cost you time. Anyone who tells you delegation is instantly easier is selling. You will spend more time explaining in week one than the work would have taken. The return starts around week three. If you are not prepared to invest that, do not hire an assistant yet — from us or anyone.

We are a small team, and that cuts both ways. You will know your assistant by name and they will know your business properly. We are not a 2,000-person agency and we are not going to pretend to be. If you need round-the-clock coverage across every US time zone, we are not the right fit and we will say so on the call.

Tools we work in

Who this is for

• Founders and owner-operators who are the bottleneck on everything
• Consultants and coaches whose scheduling eats their billable time
• Real estate and insurance professionals juggling clients and paperwork
• Anyone who has said “I should really get an assistant” more than twice

Questions we get asked

Will I get the same person every day?

Yes. You get a named assistant, and a trained backup who knows your account for holidays and sick days. You are not sent to a pool.

What hours do they work?

US business hours. We confirm the exact window on the call based on your time zone, and we put it in writing.

Do you need access to my email?

Yes, and we set it up properly — delegated access rather than sharing your password, so you keep control and can revoke it in one click. Details on our data protection page.

What if I do not have enough work for 20 hours?

Then start with the two-week trial and we will tell you honestly what your volume looks like. We would rather size the plan correctly than sell you hours you will not use.

Can they make phone calls for me?

For scheduling, vendor coordination and follow-up, yes. We do not offer live phone answering or reception — that is a different service and there are companies who do it better than we would.

How quickly can we start?

Usually within a week of the call, depending on how fast the access is set up on your side.

Start with one task. Decide after that.

You do not need to commit to a monthly plan to find out whether we are any good. Send us a single job, see the work, then decide what happens next.
