Remote Executive Assistant Services
The hire you keep postponing.
Every executive knows the math: a good assistant multiplies your hours. A dedicated Filipino remote executive assistant makes the math work, full time, on your hours, without the US salary line.
Representative day. Yours is mapped from your real calendar on the discovery call.
The signs you needed an EA a year ago
The inbox owns the mornings
The first ninety minutes of every day go to triage before any real work starts.
Scheduling is a part-time job
Six-email threads to find a slot, across three timezones, twice a week.
Travel plans itself at midnight
Flights, hotels and ground for next week, booked by you, after dinner.
Follow-ups slip through
The intro you promised and the deck you owe are both three days late.
Expenses are a quarterly panic
A folder of receipts and a deadline. Every quarter, without fail.
A US EA is a $70k decision
The role is proven. The domestic price point keeps killing the req.
Where the week goes now, and where it goes after
A representative executive week.
Illustrative split. Not a measured client result.

The math a CFO would sign off
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics puts the median executive assistant salary at roughly $70,000 a year before benefits. That line item is why the req keeps dying, and why the work keeps landing back on you.
Harvard Business Review made the case for executive assistants over a decade ago: an assistant who keeps a leader on the highest-value work pays for themselves several times over. Philippine market rates change where that break-even sits, not whether it exists.
Remote, not fractional
This is a full-time dedicated EA working your hours remotely, not a shared assistant billed in minute bundles. One person who compounds context about your business week over week. Part-time engagements exist, but the EA is still yours alone for that window.
From call to a calmer week

What this looks like when it is real
Horizon Business Solutions
A real, named engagement with the full story published: what the team took over, how the handoff ran, and the working rhythm that made it stick.
This is what working with us actually looks like.
Liz ran a solo counselling practice in Australia. Karen was her dedicated Armasourcing assistant: inbox, bookings and client follow-ups, handled across the timezone gap. Every engagement gets reviewed the same honest way.
The right page for a different need
A remote EA owns the day. If the need sits elsewhere, start here instead.
Before you book the call
What does a remote executive assistant cost?
US executive assistants run around $70,000 a year at the median before benefits, per BLS data. Philippine market rates are a fraction of that. Your exact quote depends on hours and scope and comes out of the discovery call, in writing.
Full time or part time?
Both. Most executives start full time on their own timezone; part-time engagements cover a defined daily window. Either way the EA is dedicated to you, never pooled.
How do they handle confidential information?
A written confidentiality undertaking before day one, least-privilege access that you control, and a documented boundary list of what never gets touched.
What if I already have an in-house EA?
A remote EA pairs well as a second seat: the in-house EA keeps the physical and relationship work, the remote EA takes the digital load. We can scope the split on the call.
