A great executive assistant gives an owner back the hours that never show up on a P&L: the inbox, the reschedules, the travel changes, the expense reports and the follow-ups that slip. Ryz places a dedicated executive assistant on your team for $3,000 a month, month to month. Your EA works US business hours, including New York hours, speaks fluent English and joins your inbox, calendar and tools. Not a night shift, and no 12-month lock-in.

Triage, drafts in your voice, inbox zero by Friday and nothing important missed.
Scheduling, reschedules, buffers and the meetings you should not be in.
Flights, hotels, ground transport and the 6 PM change, handled the same day.
Receipts, expense reports and reimbursements, filed every week.
Agendas, prep notes, recaps and the follow-ups that close the loop.
Vendors, renewals, reservations and the personal errands that eat evenings.

Why owners choose a Ryz executive assistant
Your hours, not a night shift
Many assistant services staff overseas assistants who cover US clients on a night shift. A Ryz EA works US business hours with you, so the 8 AM reschedule and the late-afternoon travel change get handled in real time, not the next morning.
A published price with no lock-in
A dedicated executive assistant is $3,000 a month, month to month. Some services quote the same price only with a 12-month commitment, or hide pricing until a sales call. Read Athena pricing explained to compare.
One partner for the whole team
Ryz also places virtual assistants, developers and product managers, so your EA, your VA and your developer can sit on one team with one partner. See how we place software engineers and product managers.

What to hand off first
Start with whatever is most painful this week. For most owners that is the inbox, the calendar or travel. Hand over one of them in week one, let your executive assistant learn how you write and decide, then add the next. By the end of the first month most owners have moved their inbox, calendar, travel and expenses, and they spend their mornings on customers, hiring and the work only they can do.
Not sure an EA is the right first hire? If your list is mostly repeat business tasks such as customer email, CRM and data entry, a virtual assistant at $2,000 a month may be the better start.
