Your assistant sends progress reports on what they did with your hours: weekly on Starter and Growth, daily on Professional and Full-Time. If you want more detail, ask them to log time per task in a shared spreadsheet or in your project tool.
Below is what an Administrative Assistant does, what it costs and how to hire one this week.
