Fractional Executive Assistant, Remote

Where I fit

Between doing it all yourself and a full salary.

Option one

Do it all yourself

You stay on top of everything, barely. The admin wins, the real work waits, and the week disappears into your inbox.

The cost: your timeAnd the work that actually grows things

The sweet spot Option two

Work with me

Senior level support for the hours you need it. You get the help of a seasoned EA without hiring, onboarding, or carrying a full-time role.

The cost: a monthly retainerScaled to the work you have, nothing more

Option three

Hire full-time

A great fix once the volume is there. Until then it means a salary, benefits, payroll, and managing someone you may not keep busy.

The cost: 70k+ and overheadPlus the hiring and managing on you

How it works

Getting started is simple.

Step one

A quick call

We talk for 20 minutes about what is eating up your week and where you need the most help. No pressure.

Step two

A plan that fits

I recommend a tier sized to your real workload, and we set up access and a simple way to work together.

Step three

I take it from here

Things start moving off your plate that week. You stay in the loop, without staying in the weeds.

Why work with me

More than someone who checks tasks off a list.

I stay ahead of you

I anticipate what you need before you ask, so problems get solved before they reach your desk.

I build systems, not just finish tasks

I set up the processes that keep things running, so the same problem does not come back next week.

Senior judgment, not just hands

Ten years supporting C suite leaders means I handle sensitive calls with discretion and get the details right.

AI where it helps, judgment where it counts

I use smart tools to move faster through email and admin, and apply real judgment where a tool cannot.

About

I have run the back office for the people who run companies.

Ten years supporting C-suite and VP leaders across startups, tech, legal, mining, and the public sector.

I know how to walk into a busy desk and bring order to it fast. Calm under pressure, low drama, and a real eye for the details that quietly cause problems when they slip.

Now I bring that same standard to a handful of clients at a time, on terms that fit how much help you actually need.

I started this because more leaders need senior support without the cost of another full-time hire. I do my best work behind the scenes, keeping everything running so you can focus on the front.

Executive support C-suite and VP level
Industries Startups, tech, legal, mining, public
Setup Fully remote, across time zones
Engagement Monthly retainer

Testimonials

What people say.

“

Crystal is intelligent, highly organized, and reliable. She learns quickly, works independently, and delivers quality work under pressure.

Helen Wong

Head of Administration, Sandbox VR

“

I was impressed with Crystal's initiative and attention to detail. Several of our executives navigated significant, company confidential challenges with her as their support as we grew the business 30 percent year over year. She helped build our Vancouver office culture and innovated company wide ideas that are still in place today.

Adam Hilliard

VP of People and Workplace Strategy, Sandbox VR

“

If you have the chance to hire Crystal, do it immediately. My travel schedule is insane, constantly shifting and complex, and she managed the entire chaotic mess flawlessly. She always stayed three steps ahead of me. She doesn't sit in an assistant silo either. Whenever my operations team needed hands on execution, she stepped right in. I would rehire her in a heartbeat.

You need the help. You don't need a full-time hire.
