Can I start with hourly and upgrade to the Executive package?

Yes. Many clients start with hourly administrative support and upgrade to the Executive Business Operations Package as their business grows and their needs become more consistent. The hourly option lets you experience our service quality before committing to a monthly package.

Is the Executive package worth it if I only need admin support?

If you only need occasional admin tasks, hourly support is more cost-effective. The Executive package becomes worth it when you need consistent, dedicated support AND bookkeeping — the included Certified QuickBooks bookkeeping (valued at $300/month) makes the effective admin cost much lower than the hourly rate.

What happens to unused hours in the Executive package?

The Executive Business Operations Package includes up to 20 administrative hours and up to 5 bookkeeping hours per month. We work proactively to use your hours effectively each month. If you consistently don't use all your hours, we can discuss adjusting your service level.
