You focus on what’s next.
I make sure nothing slows you down.
I'm Carrie, a fractional executive assistant based in New York, supporting early-stage startups, lean teams, and remote-first companies nationwide. When the logistics, documentation, and calendar chaos add up, I handle the operational burden so you can focus on the work that keeps things moving.
I'm here to be your executive support function: hands-on assistance, a personalized approach built around your priorities, and an operational partner by your side.
Your time is the most valuable thing I protect.
From one person's memory to collective reference.
A smooth start begins before day one.
You show up ready. I handle what gets you there.
Thirty minutes on a call to talk through what's taking up your time, what's slipping, and where support would make the biggest difference. Follow-up happens async, and I'm happy to connect with anyone on your team who can add context or help get buy-in.
From youYour perspective on the biggest pain points and time drains.
I translate our conversation into a written outline: the areas I'll own, how we'll communicate, and what response times look like. You review it, we adjust, and we sign off before work begins.
From youYour calibration on the outline, final sign-off, and getting me set up as a vendor in your systems.
With the agreement in place, I jump in. During the first two weeks, I'll get set up in your systems, priorities, and people. Over the first three months we keep calibrating on what's working and whether the scope still fits.
From youYour existing documents, SOPs, or trainings. Most clients spend about two hours a week on feedback and questions.
Project based work with a clear beginning and end. Think process builds, documentation sessions, onboarding setup, or workflow design. You walk away with the thing done.
Priced per project
Scoped and priced together after the intro call. No ongoing commitment.
Traditional EA support focused entirely on one executive. Calendar strategy, inbox triage, action item follow-up, travel, and the ad hoc work that comes up during a week. Acting as an operational point of contact for the people around you.
$350 / week
Around five hours a week as a baseline. Three-month minimum.
Everything in Dedicated, plus joining meetings, monitoring project status, maintaining documentation, and iterating workflows, and an extension of your presence among the team.
$600 / week
Around eight hours a week as a baseline. Three-month minimum.
Flat weekly rates, not hourly. You're paying for consistent access and presence within the week, not clock time. Hours don't roll over.
Onboarding is absorbed. The first couple of weeks may run heavier as I ramp up. That's expected, and not billed separately.

What is your time actually worth?
Estimate the hours you spend on work an EA could own, and what it's really costing you.
Most early-stage founders and operators spend ten to fifteen hours a week on work that isn't moving their business forward: calendar juggling, inbox triage, travel logistics, documentation that never gets written. A fractional executive assistant gives you senior-level EA support at a fraction of the commitment and cost of a full-time hire, so you can focus on the work only you can do.
We start with a scoping conversation to agree on what I'll own and how we'll work together. From there, I get access to your calendar, inbox, and key tools, meet the people I'll be coordinating with, and start shadowing your workflow. I work as a virtual executive assistant by default, so everything happens over Slack, email, and your existing systems. In the first two weeks I focus on absorbing context. By week three, you should feel the load lifting.
If you're a founder, operator, or small leadership team spending meaningful time on calendar, travel, inbox, or operational work, you're the right size. I work best with early-stage startups and lean teams, whether you're based in New York or operating as a remote-first company. If you're not sure, book an intro call and we'll figure it out together.
The biggest adjustment is trust. Handing off work you've always done yourself takes practice, and it works best when you're willing to let me own it fully rather than treat me as a task-taker. Context also takes time to build. The first few weeks are about learning your priorities, your people, and your preferences. Once that foundation is in place, the work gets faster and the judgment calls get sharper.
Less than you'd expect once we're up and running. The first week involves more back and forth as I learn your preferences, but after that most clients spend fifteen to thirty minutes a week directly with me, usually via Slack or a short weekly sync. The goal is that I save you hours for every minute you spend managing me.
There are three ways to work together. Scoped engagements are project-based and priced per project after the intro call. Dedicated is ongoing EA support focused entirely on the executive, roughly five hours a week at a flat weekly rate. Integrated extends into team-facing operational support, roughly eight hours a week at a flat weekly rate. Dedicated and Integrated have a three-month minimum, and hours don't roll over week to week. Current rates are listed under Ways to Work Together.
