Virtual Executive Assistance

Delegate
Without
Doubt.

Good executive support isn't a list of tasks. It's a working relationship. Your E-assistant gets to know your priorities, your people and the way you like things done, then takes ownership for everything that doesn't need you.

For leaders who want someone in their corner.

Our clients lead growing, established service businesses, often family-owned. They have a small team, but they're still carrying the coordination themselves. They don't want another pair of hands. They want someone who understands the business and takes things on without being asked.

Your time is your most valuable asset.
Right now, it's being stretched too thin.

Business leaders don't struggle with capability. They just often have too much on their plate and not enough support alongside them.

Your inbox is running you. Every day starts reactive instead of intentional.

Your inbox is triaged and prioritised. You open it to decisions, not noise.

You're doing $50/hour tasks when you should be doing $500/hour thinking.

The admin is handled by our team. You focus entirely on the work only you can do.

Hiring staff feels like more overhead than it's worth: employment law, onboarding, leave, all of it.

Expert support without the employment overhead: no recruitment, no leave cover, no HR headaches.

Meetings pile up with no agenda, no prep, and no one chasing the outcomes afterward.

Every meeting is prepped, minuted, and followed up. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Your own Executive Assistant,
without the overheads of hiring one.

Your EA will take ownership of your admin and use smart systems to improve efficiencies.

Up and running in days,
not months.

A straightforward onboarding designed to get you delegating, with no friction or lengthy setup.

Taylor Bignall, Founder of E-assist
NZ VA Awards Finalist

E-assist was founded by Taylor Bignall after working inside NZ businesses and seeing firsthand where operational support breaks down, and what a difference the right team can make.

Today, E-assist operates as a small, carefully selected team. We match each client with the right support for their needs, and Taylor personally oversees quality across every engagement. You get personalised attention, not a faceless agency.

Trusted across industries: manufacturing, professional services, hospitality, marketing, and more.
Work with Our Team

Everything you need to know
before you reach out

What does the investment look like — do I need to commit upfront?
We'll scope the right level of support and confirm both the investment and the term with you before anything starts, so you always know exactly what you're working with. Plans start from $1,650 + GST per month.
Who actually does the work — is it always the same person?
E-assist operates as a small, carefully selected team. Taylor matches each client with the right team member for their specific needs and oversees quality across every engagement. You'll always have consistency and a clear point of contact. Personal attention, not a revolving door.
How do you handle confidentiality and data security?
Confidentiality is non-negotiable. We use secure password management (LastPass), strict data handling protocols, and a signed confidentiality agreement before accessing any of your systems. Your information stays your information.
When is the team available, and how do we communicate?
Our team is available during standard NZ business hours. Task completion timelines are agreed upfront so you always know when to expect things done. We work in whatever tools suit you: email, Slack, project management platforms, or a simple shared task list.
Do unused hours roll over?
Hours are allocated monthly and don't roll over. This keeps the arrangement clean and predictable for both parties. If your needs change, we can look at adjusting your plan at review. We'll discuss what works.
How is this different from hiring a part-time employee?
No PAYE, no Kiwisaver, no ACC, no leave entitlements, no performance management. You get an expert executive assistant at a predictable monthly cost, without the overhead, HR complexity, or permanence of employment. Scale your plan up as your needs grow.
I'm already time-poor — is onboarding going to take forever?
That's exactly who we're built for. Onboarding is streamlined. Your time investment upfront is minimal. Our team is experienced at quickly understanding how businesses work and what they need. Most clients are delegating meaningfully within the first week.
