What a virtual executive assistant takes off your plate
A virtual executive assistant is a dedicated remote professional who handles the day-to-day admin that fills a founder's or executive's week. Your DigiWorks assistant works in your tools and on your schedule, so you get your time back for decisions, clients and growth.
- Inbox: sorting email, drafting replies for your approval and flagging what needs you today
- Calendar: booking meetings across time zones, sending reminders and protecting focus time
- Travel: comparing and booking flights and hotels, and preparing day-by-day itineraries
- Meetings: agendas, briefing notes, minutes and follow-up actions
- Documents and presentations: turning your notes into reports, slide decks and proposals
- Expenses: logging receipts, preparing expense reports and tracking invoices
- Research: background on prospects, partners and competitors before you meet them
- Stakeholder updates: keeping clients, partners and your team informed on your behalf
Hiring is free: DigiWorks shortlists candidates who have passed English, logic and numerical tests, you interview them by video, and you only pay for the hours your assistant logs.
What is the difference between a virtual assistant and a virtual executive assistant?
A general virtual assistant usually handles a set list of admin tasks for a business. An executive virtual assistant works directly for one leader: they manage your inbox and calendar, prepare you for meetings and handle confidential information, so the role calls for stronger judgement and communication.
How does this compare with hiring an executive assistant in-house?
You avoid the office space, equipment and recruitment costs of a local hire. DigiWorks charges an hourly rate that already covers your assistant's computer and internet, and there is no contractual lock-in.
What should I hand over first?
Start with the tasks that repeat every day, usually inbox triage and calendar management. Share access to your email and calendar, a list of priorities and key contacts, and how you like to receive updates. Once that routine runs smoothly, add travel, expenses and documents.
