A virtual executive assistant supports a director, founder or senior leader specifically — a higher-trust, more proactive role than a general admin assistant. Here's what the work involves.
Managing your time
Owning your diary and inbox: prioritising, scheduling, protecting your focus time, preparing you for meetings, and making sure nothing important slips. A good EA effectively gives you hours back every week.
Coordination and logistics
Travel and accommodation booking, meeting coordination across teams and time zones, agenda preparation, and managing the logistics that otherwise eat your day.
Preparation and follow-through
Preparing board packs and meeting briefs, taking and circulating actions, chasing follow-ups, and keeping your projects and commitments on track.
How an EA differs from an admin assistant
An admin assistant handles general operational admin; an EA supports a specific person with more judgement, discretion and proactivity — anticipating needs rather than just processing tasks. The seniority of support is the difference.
What it costs
A dedicated virtual EA runs from £950 (junior) through £1,250 (mid) to £1,600 (senior) per month all-inclusive, depending on the level of support you need.
