What is a virtual executive assistant?

A virtual executive assistant (VEA) is a professional trained in administrative tasks who works remotely on a contract basis.

What can’t a virtual executive assistant do?

While VEAs are excellent for administrative tasks, it’s best to leave strategy, sales, and business development to your internal team. VEAs can support these areas with lead generation, scheduling social posts, and cross-team collaboration. They are not web designers, marketing experts, expert copywriters, or accountants, but we can refer you to top professionals in these fields.
