If you're hiring a Virtual Assistant or Executive Assistant who actually runs operations, not just responds to them, keep reading.
Inbox overload, double-booked calendars, missed follow-ups, and no time for the work that actually moves your business. This is exactly what executive and administrative support is supposed to solve and where most remote assistants fall short.
I'm Faith, a Remote Executive Assistant and Virtual Assistant with 3+ years supporting CEOs, founders, and startup operators across law, coaching, food & beverage, and multi-business ventures.
Here's what I've delivered:
→ 50+ projects managed with a 95% on-time delivery rate
→ 30% operational efficiency gains through workflow redesign and SOP documentation
→ 98% client satisfaction across industries and time zones
I don't hand you a checklist. I build the administrative infrastructure around you then run it so your business stops depending on your memory and starts running on systems.
Executive & Calendar Management
Email management and inbox triage in your voice, zero-conflict scheduling, meeting prep, and travel coordination handled before you ask.
Project & Operations Coordination
Task management, deadline tracking, and cross-team follow-through. Nothing slips because I own the follow-through so you don't have to.
SOP & Process Documentation
I turn your recurring decisions into documented systems. Repeatable, delegatable, scalable.
Client Onboarding & CRM Management
First impressions protected, pipelines maintained, internet research and data entry handled with discretion and accuracy.
Virtual Assistant & Administrative Support
Document management, file organisation, expense tracking support, data entry, and day-to-day business operations support, the unsexy work that keeps everything running.
Tools I work in daily:
Google Workspace · Microsoft 365 · Notion · Asana · ClickUp · Monday . com · HubSpot · Calendly · Trello · Slack · Zoom · Loom · Zapier · Airtable · ChatGPT · Claude
Ideal clients: Founders, startup operators, and CEOs who need a fractional EA or remote administrative assistant for ongoing business operations support — someone who thinks three steps ahead, communicates without being chased, and treats confidentiality as non-negotiable.
If you've read this far, your inbox probably needs attention right now.
Invite me to your job or send a message with what you're carrying. I'll respond with exactly how I'd approach it.
