1. What services do you provide?
I provide executive-level administrative and operational support designed to keep priorities organized and work moving forward. This often includes calendar management, inbox triage, project coordination, internal communication, and general business operations support. Weekly check-ins and ongoing asynchronous support help ensure tasks, deadlines, and priorities stay on track.
My role is flexible by design, allowing me to step in where support is needed most as workflows and priorities evolve.
2. How do you work with clients?
All services are delivered on a monthly retainer basis. Work is typically managed asynchronously, with predictable communication and weekly check-ins. This allows flexibility while ensuring consistent support.
3. How is this different from hiring a traditional assistant?
Unlike hourly assistants or task-based freelancers, my support is structured around a monthly retainer and focused on keeping priorities organized and work moving forward. Rather than paying for individual tasks or tracked hours, clients gain consistent operational support, reliable follow-through, and a trusted partner who helps maintain momentum behind the scenes.
4. What is the typical retainer cost?
Monthly retainers generally range from $1,500 – $5,000+ per month, depending on scope and complexity. A brief strategy session call is required to confirm fit and finalize the retainer agreement.
5. How do you communicate with clients?
Primary communication is via email, Slack, Teams, or your preferred platform. Response times are professional and predictable, with urgent items prioritized appropriately. Weekly check-ins provide alignment and clarity.
6. How do you set boundaries around work hours?
Support is designed to be flexible but professional. Work is delivered asynchronously within agreed-upon capacity and priorities. This ensures predictability, reliability, and work-life balance for both parties.
7. Can you work with multiple clients at once?
Yes — all clients are supported individually and with full discretion. Each retainer includes defined scope and capacity so your priorities always remain top of mind.
8. Do I need to use specific tools or software?
No — I adapt to your existing tools and workflows. If preferred, I can also help organize or optimize processes in common platforms (Outlook, Gmail, Teams, Slack, Asana, etc.).
9. How do I get started?
The first step is a brief strategy session call. This allows us to discuss your needs, confirm fit, and outline a clear scope of work. Once agreed, we formalize the retainer and begin providing support.
10. Who is this service best suited for?
Leaders, founders, and busy professionals who want consistent, reliable support for calendars, inboxes, and internal priorities — without hiring full-time staff or managing day-to-day tasks themselves.
