Hire a dedicated offshore executive assistant
A dedicated senior offshore executive assistant costs £1,600 per month all-inclusive through Aspire Offshore — against £4,438–£5,138 per month fully loaded for the equivalent UK hire, a saving of up to £42,456 per year.
One person. Your business only.
An executive assistant is the highest-leverage hire a founder or director can make — and at £45,000–£52,000 UK salaries, one of the hardest to justify. The dedicated offshore model changes that arithmetic: senior, experienced EA support, full-time and exclusive, for £1,600 a month.
This is a senior-only placement. Your EA manages your calendar, protects your priorities, runs your meeting cadence and handles confidential information with the maturity the role demands — on UK hours, embedded in your tools.

- Full calendar ownership and prioritisation
- Meeting preparation, agendas and minutes
- Leadership inbox management

The case in one paragraph
The difference between an EA and a VA is judgement: an EA decides, drafts and protects rather than just executes. Senior candidates bring 8+ years supporting leadership, so you delegate outcomes, not tasks.

Executive Assistant FAQs
How much does an offshore executive assistant cost?
£1,600 per month all-inclusive at Senior level (the only level we place for this role). The equivalent UK EA costs £4,438–£5,138 per month fully loaded — an annual saving of £34,056–£42,456.
Can an offshore EA handle confidential information?
Yes — discretion is a core selection criterion, every placement is covered by NDAs, and delivery runs from ISO 27001 certified facilities with access controls. You control exactly which systems and information they touch.
What's the difference between your EA and VA roles?
A VA executes defined tasks excellently. An EA owns outcomes: managing your time, judging priorities, drafting on your behalf and running your operating rhythm. If you need someone to think one step ahead of you, it's the EA.
Will they suit UK business culture?
Candidates are selected for strong English and UK-facing experience, and they work your hours in your tools — most clients say within a month it feels no different from an EA down the hall.
