How Viva compares
An in-house EA is a full hiring cycle, a salary with benefits, and one more person to manage. Viva is one monthly price for a dedicated EA that is already hired, trained and managed.
Hiring in-house
Typical US market ranges. Exact costs vary by city and seniority.
A Viva EA
Fully managed, no recruiting markups

Rob LehmanViva hires, trains and retains your EA. Your CSM manages performance, coverage and career, so the only thing left on your plate is delegating.
How it works
We map what your executive needs delegated, and walk you through plans.
A dedicated, pre-vetted EA. No recruiting cycle, no recruiting markups.
Your CSM joins the kickoff and manages the rest.
If the fit isn't right, we re-match free. If your EA ever moves on, the handover is ours to run.
Security and trust
Your dedicated EA, a dedicated customer success manager, continuous training including AI tools, and our replacement guarantee. Viva handles recruiting, payroll, benefits and retention. Plans start at $3,999 per month, with a one-time onboarding fee. See full pricing.
No recruiting markups. There is a one-time onboarding fee, and matching and re-matching are part of the plan. If the fit isn't right, we find a better match at no additional cost.
No. Every plan comes with a dedicated EA matched to your executive. This is not a shared VA pool or a ticket queue.
Viva re-matches you at no cost and runs the handover. Your workflows are documented in your own systems, so nothing is lost between assistants. With an in-house hire, that risk and that cost are yours.
We are built for it. Every EA signs a binding NDA and completes identity verification before any access is granted. Mandatory MFA, least-privilege permissions, no local storage. ISO 27001-aligned, and we support customers with SOC 2 environments.
