Office-based personal assistants
A personal assistant takes on the tasks that blur the line between work and home: appointments, bookings, online shopping, receipts, and travel. It's for busy professionals who want their evenings back.
What your personal assistant can take off your plate
- Book and confirm personal appointments and reservations
- Plan trips, compare options, and build itineraries
- Shop online, order gifts, and track deliveries
- Track receipts and log personal and business expenses
- Keep your personal calendar and reminders organized
- Call providers to get quotes, schedule service, and follow up
- Prioritize your to-do list and remind you of deadlines
- Answer calls and respond to routine inquiries on your behalf
- Handle recurring office tasks, like updating records and lists
Who this role is for
Busy professionals, executives, and business owners who spend evenings and weekends on bookings, bills, and logistics. If your personal to-do list competes with your workday, a personal assistant takes it over.
How it works
You send tasks however you like, and your assistant handles them during their working hours. Typical requests look like this: book a dentist appointment, compare three quotes for a contractor, move a flight, order a birthday gift, file this month’s receipts. Recurring items go on a checklist, and anything that needs your decision comes back to you with the options laid out.

Questions about your personal assistant
Can a personal assistant run in-person errands?
No. Your assistant works from our office in the Philippines, so everything happens online or by phone: booking, ordering, scheduling, comparing quotes, and chasing providers. That still covers a large share of most personal to-do lists.
What's the difference between a personal assistant and an executive assistant?
An executive assistant focuses on your business role: meetings, documents, and follow-up with your team. A personal assistant spans work and home, handling appointments, travel, shopping, and household admin. If you need a bit of both, tell us on the discovery call and we match for it.
How do I hand off tasks?
The way you already communicate: email, text, chat, or a shared list. Your assistant confirms each task, gets it done, and reports back. Recurring tasks go on a simple checklist so you never have to ask twice.
