At ChatterBoss, we are fractional executive assistant experts. We bring top-tier US-based support that A-listers enjoy to high performers, entrepreneurs, and executives.
Our 200+ fractional executive assistants are located throughout the US to ensure that we provide the highest level of support for US-based entrepreneurs and businesses. Meanwhile, most of our admin assistants are located in South Africa, supporting low-intensity process fulfillment. This unique combined offering allows ChatterBoss to provide a primary US-based assistant with affordable and dependable admin support.
A ChatterBoss fractional executive assistant is a highly skilled professional who provides top-tier administrative support to executives and businesses on a part-time basis. The fractional approach allows you to benefit from their expertise for a fraction of the time and cost compared to hiring a full-time employee, while still giving you access to a dedicated team member who learns your business, workstyle, and preferences over time.
Furthermore, ChatterBoss provides a two-assistant fractional team to offer the benefit of the support.
ChatterBoss packages offer a two-assistant model which includes your US- based Executive Assistant and your South Africa-based Admin Assistant. You will be carefully paired with a US-based Executive Assistant based on your unique set of needs, personality, industry, and budget.
Your Admin Assistant works with your Executive Assistant to create a streamlined approach to support you. Our Admin Assistants have an average of 5 years of of experience and are ready to support project or task deliverables with defined and tested standard operating procedures or guidance. They provide lower-cost, admin-level support and allow for continuity when your Executive Assistant is away.
For example, in the event your Executive Assistant is out of the office, your Admin Assistant may be able to step in to provide backup support with specific tasks. To take advantage of the seamless transfer of responsibilities, we highly encourage you to review your SOPs with your executive assistant at least monthly to ensure all processes are up-to-date.
Yes! We have experts that span many different skills and industries. Your Executive Assistant will be a professional, career EA who will be your right hand and has access to 30+ experts with niche skills and talents that are available to further supplement your team on an as-needed basis.
ChatterBoss is a leader in the entrepreneur/assistant pairing space. This is at the heart of why we do what we do – guided by our mission to create balance and meaningful connections in the lives of everyone we touch through a systematic approach at the intersection of human behavior and science.
The pairing to your assistant team is a carefully curated 2-step process.
Step 1: Match based on basics such as listed needs, availability, time zone, skillset, software requirements, and industry experience.
Step 2: Utilize our proprietary character assessment pairing algorithm which is proven across the industry to have the highest levels of accuracy for success. All of our assistants take the character assessment to incorporate more matching parameters and is highly encouraged (while not mandatory) for clients for increased pairing success. When taken by both, additional parameters are unlocked so we can pair you with an assistant based on cognitive ability, motivation, and personality.

Anyone who tells you that working with an assistant is foolproof hasn’t done the real work.
