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.
"After having over 500 employees, she is one of the top ten. Working remotely didn't affect her ability to contribute at the highest level."

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.
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.

Not sure what you need? Book a discovery call and we'll scope the right level of support for your business.
A straightforward onboarding designed to get you delegating, with no friction or lengthy setup.
Tell us what you need covered. Your EA learns the business, what makes you tick, and takes the admin off your hands. One person owns it, with the E-assist team and our systems behind them.
We meet to understand your business, your bottlenecks, and how our support can make the biggest difference. No obligation. Just clarity on what's possible.
We keep onboarding simple. We have an initial structured handover session that dives into everything we might need to know for a successful partnership.
We take full ownership of our daily responsibilities, prioritise regular communication, document processes, and adapt to stay ahead of what you need.
Every plan gives you the same dedicated EA. What changes is how much they take on. Plans cover up to a fixed number of hours each month and start from $1,650 + GST.
You're still doing your own admin, and it's eating the hours you should be spending on the business.

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.
