Give notice under your contract (with us, cancel before your next invoice), ask for a handover document of open tasks and recurring processes, collect any files they created, then remove their access and change shared passwords. If the problem is the assistant rather than the agency, ask for a replacement first.
Below is what an Administrative Assistant does, what it costs and how to hire one this week.
Tasks You Can Hand Off
Best for small business owners, consultants and teams buried in admin work. Typical work includes:
- Vendor follow-ups, purchase orders and invoice chasing
- File organization in Google Drive, Dropbox or SharePoint
- Meeting notes and action-item follow-up
- Online forms, renewals and account admin
- Email inbox management, filtering and drafted replies
They already work in tools like Calendly, Dropbox, Slack and Asana. See the full Administrative Assistant page for every task.
