Executive support for US businesses
If your day starts in your inbox and ends with a list of things you meant to get to, the problem usually is not effort. It is that the person making the decisions is also the person scheduling the meetings, chasing the replies and booking the flights.
A Centerpoint executive virtual assistant takes that load off you. They manage your inbox, calendar, travel, meeting prep and follow-ups during your US business hours, so your time goes to the work only you can do. Pricing starts from $7 per hour, with no long-term contract.
An executive virtual assistant is a remote assistant who supports a business owner or senior leader by managing their email, calendar, travel, meeting preparation and follow-through. A general virtual assistant works through a task list; an executive virtual assistant protects one person’s time and attention and works as an extension of that person.
Want to see what that looks like hour by hour? Read what an executive virtual assistant actually does day to day.
Most leaders do not notice it happening. The work does not arrive as one big job. It arrives as dozens of small ones, every day.
Every email gets your attention, whether it needs you or not, and the important ones get buried under the rest.
Back-and-forth over times, time zones and reschedules, then walking into meetings without the context you need.
Action items from calls sit in your notes. Clients and partners wait. Decisions stall.
Your team waits on approvals and answers because everything routes through you.
A full-time US executive assistant means a salary, benefits, payroll taxes, equipment and a hiring process you do not have time to run.
The time you should spend on clients, strategy and growth goes to booking, filing and chasing instead.
Your executive virtual assistant covers the areas that take up most of a leader’s admin time. You decide what they own outright, what they draft for your approval and what always comes to you.
Triage your email so you only see what needs you. Draft replies for your review, file the rest and flag anything urgent.
Book, confirm and reschedule meetings, handle time zones and protect blocks of time for focused work.
Prepare agendas and briefing notes before meetings, then send the action items and chase them afterwards.
Research and book flights, hotels and ground transport, and keep every itinerary organized in one place.
Pull together research, summaries, simple reports and spreadsheets so information reaches you ready to use.
Keep your CRM and project tools up to date, track deadlines across your team and coordinate with vendors.
The work still gets done. It just stops landing on you. Here is the difference across the four areas that take up most of a leader’s day.
Executive virtual assistants work best for people whose time is worth more than the admin filling it.
You run sales, operations and the team, and admin fills every gap in between. An executive virtual assistant gives you back the hours you spend on email and scheduling, without the cost of a full-time US hire.
Your calendar is full of meetings that need preparation and follow-through. An executive virtual assistant keeps your schedule clean, your briefings ready and your commitments on track.
Brokers, investors, property managers and firm owners in legal, accounting and consulting juggle clients, appointments and paperwork. An executive virtual assistant keeps client communication moving and your calendar under control.
Centerpoint executive virtual assistants start from $7 per hour, with no long-term contract. Your exact rate is confirmed on a discovery call once we understand the role.
For comparison, the median wage for executive secretaries and executive administrative assistants in the US was $36.82 an hour ($76,590 a year) in May 2025, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That figure is wages only, before benefits, payroll taxes, equipment and the time it takes to recruit and train.
The hourly rate covers more than the assistant’s time. Our team handles recruiting, training, quality checks, payroll and backup cover, so you are not managing a hire on top of your actual job.

An executive virtual assistant manages a leader's email, calendar, travel, meeting preparation and follow-ups, plus research, reporting and admin in tools like your CRM and project software. The goal is to protect your time so you can focus on the decisions only you can make.

Yes. Centerpoint executive virtual assistants work your US business hours, whether you are on Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific time.
A general virtual assistant usually works through a list of tasks for a business. An executive virtual assistant supports one leader directly, managing their inbox, calendar and commitments, and works as an extension of that person rather than as a task queue.
No. Centerpoint executive virtual assistant services have no long-term contract.
We replace them at no extra cost. Because Centerpoint handles recruiting and training, you do not have to restart the hiring process yourself.
Use delegated access instead of sharing your password. Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 both let you give another person access to your mailbox and calendar, and a password manager lets you share logins without revealing them. Start with the access the role needs and add more as trust builds.
Start with work that is frequent, repeatable and time-consuming: inbox triage, scheduling and meeting follow-ups. These tasks come up every day and are easy to document, so handing them off frees up time quickly.
Book a discovery call. We will talk through where your time goes and whether an executive virtual assistant is the right fit for you.
