FAQ

Do I need to have an assistant already?

These packages are designed for founders who already have administrative support in place—either in-house or virtual.

My role is not to replace an administrative assistant, but to lead above them—providing strategic oversight, operational clarity, and forward momentum across your business.

If you don’t yet have an administrative assistant, I can support you in hiring or training one as part of our early work together.

How many clients do you work with at once?

Two. That’s it. This allows me to stay deeply embedded, highly responsive, and focused on what matters most for each founder I support. You’ll never feel like just another client on a calendar.

What’s the difference between a fCoS and a VA or Executive Assistant?

Virtual assistants, administrative assistants, and executive assistants are essential. They keep the wheels turning by managing day-to-day tasks and giving you space to breathe.

A Fractional Chief of Staff goes beyond execution—we lead it.

I drive strategy, manage cross-functional projects, align your team, and protect your focus.

You don’t delegate to me. I run alongside you—clearing blockers, moving priorities forward, and making sure nothing slips through the cracks.

Is this a full-time commitment?

It’s not a full-time role—but it is high-access, strategic support.

I work on retainer, providing consistent leadership and operational oversight without billing by the hour or tracking time blocks. You’ll have regular strategic touchpoints, ongoing Slack communication during business hours, and proactive execution that keeps things moving forward.

This structure allows you to stay informed and supported—without being pulled into the weeds.

Engagements are typically structured as 6- or 12-month partnerships, providing both flexibility and long-term continuity.

What if I have a co-founder?

Great—there’s a package for that. The Elite Partnership is designed for co-founders or serial entrepreneurs who need full-spectrum business and life integration.

We’ll align on communication, priorities, and how you’d both like to be supported.

Can you also help with personal or lifestyle management?

Yes, in the Core and Elite packages, I offer optional lifestyle support—like personal travel planning, gifting, home logistics, and family coordination. Because life doesn’t stop just because business is scaling.
