What is a Fractional Executive Assistant (EA)?
Why It’s the Scalable, Smart CEO Move You Didn’t Know You Needed
If you’re a visionary founder, coach, or creative scaling your business, you’ve likely hit that point: your calendar is chaotic, your inbox is a black hole, and your task list is running your life. You know you need support—but what kind? A full-time assistant? A VA? A unicorn who does it all?
Enter: the Fractional Executive Assistant (EA).
The term "fractional" simply means "part-time" or "as-needed". A Fractional EA is a high-level Executive Assistant who brings strategic support to your business—without the full-time salary or overhead.
Instead of hiring someone 40 hours a week, you can have a seasoned pro in your corner 10-20 hours a month. Someone who knows how to streamline, structure, and actually hold space for your scaling.
What does a Fractional EA do?
The beauty of this role is in the range:
- 📅 Calendar + inbox management (with intention)
- 🛠️ Systems setup + automation (Notion, ClickUp, Asana)
- 🎯 Project tracking + gentle accountability
- 📣 Launch support + backend operations
- 🧘 Emotional intelligence + energetic awareness
You get the structure *and* the soul. Execution with intuition. Strategy with calm.
Why this model works for scaling founders
Most of my clients aren’t ready to build out a full ops team. But they are ready to stop running their business alone.
They crave a partner who can handle:
- The practical ("Where is that doc again?")
- The energetic ("This launch feels heavy, should we adjust?")
- The emotional ("I’m overwhelmed, help me prioritize")
With fractional support, you’re not tied to long-term contracts. You get high-level help without the stress of managing another employee.
Why work with me as your Fractional EA?
Hi, I’m Jen Jones — and I’m not just your typical assistant.
I bring:
- 10+ years supporting high-level leaders
- A background in executive ops and intuitive business support
- Systems-savviness + a deep love of calm
My clients say I’m "the calm in the chaos." And I take that as the highest compliment.
You don’t need to hire a unicorn. You need a Fractional EA who gets you, sees your vision, and helps it come to life — without burnout or chaos.
