Your One-Stop Partner for Business & Lifestyle Management.
WHO WE ARE
MISSION
To protect and empower professionals by giving them clear, trustworthy guidance and hands-on support. We help clients make confident decisions, avoid costly missteps, and remove the heavy lift of complex processes — so they can focus on their creative and business goals.
VISION
To be the most trusted partner for individuals and businesses who want clarity, control, and confidence in turning their ideas into thriving ventures. We envision a world where creators and entrepreneurs can build, launch, and grow with transparency and freedom — without fear of exploitation or overwhelm.
Our Approach
We believe every creator and entrepreneur deserves to work with clarity and control — without wasting time, money, or trust. Too often, people with big ideas get pulled into confusing offers, spend thousands chasing promises, and end up with little to show for it.
Our approach is simple: guide, protect, and empower.
- Guide — We bring structure and a clear roadmap so you know every step before you invest.
- Protect — We vet opportunities, tools, and service providers so you don’t fall victim to empty promises or inflated costs.
- Empower — We give you the knowledge, systems, and confidence to own your work, track your results, and grow on your terms.
Instead of doing the work for you and keeping control, we walk beside you, teach you how the process really works, and connect you with trustworthy resources. The result is freedom — you make informed choices, you own the outcome, and you’re able to scale your vision safely.

The ERA Advantage: What You Save
By choosing our Executive Remote Assistant service, you immediately bypass:
- Significant Salary Overhead: You pay for productive hours, not a fixed salary plus extensive benefits packages.
- Zero Recruitment Costs: We handle the entire rigorous vetting and onboarding process.
- No Benefits Burden: No health insurance premiums, no 401(k) matching, no paid time off liability.
- Eliminated Office Space Costs: No need for extra desks, computers, or utility usage.
- Reduced Administrative Load: We manage payroll, taxes, and compliance on our end.
- Flexible Scalability: Easily adjust the level of support you need without the complexities of hiring and firing.
The financial savings alone can be substantial, often 50% or more compared to a full-time in-house EA, without compromising on quality or expertise. This isn't just cost reduction; it's smart resource allocation, freeing up capital to reinvest directly into your core business growth.

While an in-house EA offers a physical presence, the financial implications extend far beyond their base salary. Here's what you're truly committing to:
- Direct Salary: The average annual salary for an in-house Executive Assistant in the United States ranges from $50,000 to $85,000+, depending on experience, location, and industry.
- Benefits Package: This is where costs significantly escalate. You'll typically pay an additional 30-40% of their base salary for:
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid Time Off (vacation, sick leave, holidays)
- Retirement plan contributions (e.g., 401(k) matching)
- Life and disability insurance
- Potentially tuition reimbursement, employee discounts, etc.
- Payroll Taxes & Worker's Compensation: An additional 7-10% of their salary.
- Recruitment Costs: The average cost to hire a new employee can be $4,000 to $6,000+, encompassing job postings, recruiter fees, background checks, and the significant time investment from your team in interviewing and onboarding.
- Overhead & Infrastructure:
- Office Space: Rent, utilities, maintenance per employee.
- Equipment: Computer, software licenses, phone, desk, chair, and ongoing tech support.
- Supplies: Office supplies, stationery.
- Training & Development: Often additional costs for professional development courses.
- Management & Supervision: Your time and resources dedicated to managing and overseeing an in-house employee.
- Underutilization Risk: If your workload fluctuates, you're still paying a full-time salary and benefits for potentially idle time.
Conservative Estimate: An in-house EA can cost your business anywhere from $80,000 to $150,000+ annually when all direct and indirect costs are factored in.
