Frequently Asked Questions

What Does an Offshore Executive Assistant Do?

An Executive Assistant provides dedicated, high-touch support to senior leaders - managing calendars, correspondence, travel, and priority projects. Day to day, that means managing complex, multi-stakeholder scheduling, drafting correspondence and presentations on the executive's behalf, coordinating board or leadership meeting logistics, and more. Basically, they take this work off your plate so your in-house team can focus on higher-value work.

Can an Offshore Executive Assistant Work in My Time Zone?

Yes. We match time zone coverage to your needs during the briefing process. Our Philippines hub has strong overlap with Australian and US business hours. We confirm the exact setup before you commit to anything.

What Tools Does an Offshore Executive Assistant Use?

They're trained across the main executive support platforms - Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Calendly, and more. They also work across standard tools like Slack, Teams, and Google Workspace. If your stack isn't on this list, let us know - we vet for your specific tooling.

How Quickly Can an Executive Assistant Be Onboarded?

Most clients have a shortlisted candidate within 5 business days, and their new team member fully onboarded in 2-6 weeks. We handle all contracts, compliance, and setup. You just run the interview and make the call.

Is an Executive Assistant the Same as an Admin Assistant?

Executive Assistants provide dedicated support to senior leaders, while Admin Assistants support broader office or team operations. There is overlap and we can brief either role based on your specific needs.

Do I Need to Provide Equipment for My Offshore Executive Assistant?

No. Platintel provides all IT equipment on Day 1 as part of the onboarding process. Your new team member arrives ready to work in your tools from the start.
