ProAssisting operates on a retainer model where you buy a fraction of an assistant's bandwidth: one-third, one-half, or two-thirds. Pricing starts at $3,300 per month and goes up to $6,000 depending on the allocation.
What makes ProAssisting different is their compensation transparency. They claim 75% or more of your retainer goes directly to the assistant, which means they attract and retain experienced talent. The assistants are US-based, available during business hours (9-5), and many have corporate EA backgrounds.
The fractional model means your assistant also works with one or two other clients, but at a higher bandwidth allocation than typical fractional services. You are not sharing 10% of someone's time; you are getting a meaningful chunk of their workweek.
ProAssisting is designed for executives who want the quality of a full-time EA hire without the full-time cost or HR overhead. It is not cheap, and there is no hourly or part-time option. But if you need 15 to 30 hours per week of high-caliber US-based support, the retainer model makes sense.
