How much does it cost to hire an offshore executive assistant?

A full-time dedicated offshore executive assistant starts at $1,500 per month with Remoteria, rising to $2,200 for EAs with 5+ years supporting founders or C-suite. US-based EAs cost $75,000–$110,000 per year fully loaded, so you typically save 65–75%. The rate covers recruitment, scenario-based judgment interviews, onboarding, and ongoing account management.

How is an EA different from a general virtual assistant?

An EA is a senior role with judgment authority. A VA executes tasks you hand off; an EA decides which meetings are worth your time, drafts replies in your voice without constant check-ins, and handles sensitive board and investor communications. EAs in our network have prior experience supporting founders, CEOs, or managing partners directly and are paid for their discretion, not just their task throughput.

How do you handle confidentiality and board-level information?

Every EA signs a board-level NDA and IP assignment before receiving any access. For highly sensitive work we scope access narrowly — a separate email alias, limited calendar permissions, and shared drives rather than full inbox access — and log every document view. Most of our EAs have already handled cap tables, term sheets, and compensation data for other founders before we introduce them to you.

Can my EA make decisions without constantly asking me?

Yes, within a written decision authority document you co-author in week one. Typical authorities include rescheduling meetings under a cost threshold, approving expenses under a set dollar amount, drafting responses to routine external requests, and declining low-value meetings on your behalf. Anything outside the boundary goes to a Slack DM with a recommended answer, so you usually just reply "yes."

What happens if my EA is sick or on leave?

You get backup coverage within 4 hours. Because every EA maintains a living operations doc in Notion with calendar rules, contact lists, active projects, and decision authorities, a backup EA from our bench can step in and run the basics the same day. For planned leave we introduce the backup two weeks ahead so the handoff is clean, and your free replacement guarantee runs through the first 30 days if the fit is wrong.

How does timezone work between Salt Lake City and an offshore virtual assistant?

Your offshore hire overlaps your Salt Lake City workday from roughly 9am to 3pm MT, which covers morning stand-ups, East Coast customer calls, and inbox triage. CRM hygiene, research, and reporting run async overnight so they are ready when you walk into the Silicon Slopes office.

Do you work with Salt Lake City SaaS, fintech, and outdoor recreation companies?

Yes. Most Salt Lake City clients are SaaS companies along the Silicon Slopes corridor from Lehi to Draper, fintech firms in Cottonwood Heights, outdoor recreation brands in Ogden and Park City, and biomedical diagnostics firms near the University of Utah. We staff revops, customer success, and back office roles built for those workflows.

How fast can a Salt Lake City business start offshore hiring?

Salt Lake City SaaS teams run on weekly sprints and quarterly board updates. Book a 15-minute intro, share the role, and we shortlist 3 vetted candidates within 5 business days. Most Salt Lake City clients interview on day 6 and onboard by day 10, usually before the next board meeting.

How does offshore hiring compare to Salt Lake City's local talent market?

Salt Lake City talent priced like a primary tech market faster than founders expected. A customer success associate in Lehi closes at $65,000–$80,000 base, a SaaS revops hire in Draper runs $90,000–$110,000, and a controller in Cottonwood Heights crosses $105,000. Offshore hiring delivers comparable customer success, revops, and back-office finance support in 5 business days at roughly 30 percent of loaded Salt Lake City cost. The retention advantage is real — Silicon Slopes ops talent gets recruited into Adobe, Qualtrics, or Goldman Sachs on an 18-month cycle, and offshore engagements simply do not face that churn pattern.

Do Salt Lake City businesses have any special requirements for offshore hires?

Offshore contractors are not US tax residents, so Salt Lake City businesses do not withhold federal or Utah state income tax, do not pay Utah unemployment, and do not file W-2s. The standard form is a W-8BEN collected at engagement (not a W-9, which is for US persons) governed by an independent contractor agreement. Utah's flat 4.65 percent state income tax applies only to US-resident workers performing services in Utah. Most Salt Lake City clients route payments through us, so they never deal with international wires or Utah State Tax Commission filings directly.
