Frequently Asked Questions
Everything I get asked most, answered plainly. If your question isn't here, ask it on the contact page.
What is a fractional executive assistant?
Executive-level support without a full-time hire. I take on the recurring and one-off work an owner never gets to (follow-ups, spreadsheets, automation, inbox, calendar) and I work as many hours as you need, when you need them.
Is this just a virtual assistant?
A lot of virtual assistants are entry-level generalists picking up whatever gig work they can find, priced accordingly. I'm not that. I've run a business myself, trained corporate teams, and built the systems I'm now offering to build for you. I can absolutely do the VA-style tasks too, managing your calendar. But the point is bigger: I take entire problems off your plate and build the systems so they stay off.
How does billing work?
By the hour. There's no monthly retainer and no minimum term. You call, I work, and I bill for the hours. Invoices are due on receipt.
Can you help me use AI in my business?
Yes. I use AI every day, and I help small business owners bring it into how they actually work: building the context it needs, automating repetitive work, and creating small custom tools. Practical first, buzzwords never.
What won't you do?
I don't provide professional services that require extensive training or licenses, such as legal advice, tax advice or preparation, medical advice or care, or building advice. If something calls for one of those, I'll let you know so you can bring in the right professional.
How many clients do you take?
A limited number. There are only so many hours in the day, and there is only one of me.
What happens when something is urgent?
Start your subject line with E, U, NU, or G. E means it needs immediate attention; U means a response within one business day; NU means I'll respond in the order received; G means no response is necessary.
How do I get started?
Fill out the form on the contact page and request an onboarding call. I read every message myself.
