No setup fees. No long-term contracts. We operate on flexible monthly terms. You're not locked in. We believe you should stay because the service delivers results, not because of a binding agreement. We invest in making the service work from month one so you never want to leave.
Absolutely. Many clients start with a part-time assistant to test the model and see the impact. When they're ready, upgrading to full-time is seamless — same assistant, expanded hours. You can also add additional assistants for different roles as your capacity needs grow. Learn more about how our process works.
