Questions business owners ask
Still unsure? Open the chat and ask an account manager directly.
What can I delegate on day one?
Email triage, scheduling and document work are the easiest to start with. During onboarding we turn your recurring tasks into a checklist so your assistant can take over more each week.
Will my assistant use my email account?
Yes, with delegated access you control. You can give access to a shared inbox or use Gmail and Outlook delegation, so you never share your main password.
How fast can my assistant start?
Most clients are matched within 1 to 3 business days of payment. Add rush onboarding to start within 24 hours.
What if my assistant is not a good fit?
Tell your account manager and we match you with a different assistant at no extra cost.
