The 14-Salary Math Austrian Employers Quietly Absorb
Most cost comparisons quote a monthly gross and stop there. Austria doesn't work that way. A senior EA on €4,942 gross is paid across 14 salaries a year, not 12, and employer social contributions add roughly 30% on top.
The headline becomes a fully-loaded cost above €7,900 a month, over €95,000 a year, before recruitment fees, equipment, or the 2-3 months it takes to fill the role.
For a founder who needs leverage rather than another permanent line on the payroll, that math rarely justifies itself. DonnaPro removes the structure entirely: one predictable fee, no contributions, no 13th or 14th salary, no employer admin.
What Makes A DonnaPro EA Your Highest-ROI Team Member?
Real Human EAs Trained on AI Tools
DonnaPro assistants are real people with business judgement and interpersonal intelligence. Every EA is trained on AI tools and supported by DonnaPro’s internal IT team, so you get AI efficiency without losing human context and ownership.
Built for CEOs and Founders Only
DonnaPro is not a general admin service. Every EA, training programme, and support system is built around the CEO or founder who needs executive-level judgement, confidentiality, and follow-through.
Donna is remote
DonnaPro is fully remote by design. No office space, equipment costs, payroll taxes, or employer overhead. Your EA works from the EU, integrates into your existing tools, and delivers without requiring a physical presence.
Donna is safe & secure
DonnaPro EAs work under formal confidentiality protocols and GDPR-compliant workflows. Every assistant is rigorously vetted, supported on secure setup and data handling, and NDA arrangements are available on request.
EU-Based and GDPR-Compliant
Every DonnaPro EA is based in the European Union and operates under GDPR-compliant workflows, strict NDA, and formal confidentiality agreements - a hiring requirement for sensitive commercial and stakeholder work.
60-Day Zero-Commitment Trial
The first 60 days are commitment-free. Test the relationship, assess the fit, and continue only if the support is genuinely useful. No lock-in, no pressure, no sunk cost.
Donna masters your industry
DonnaPro has placed EAs with CEOs and founders across 110+ industries. Your assistant is matched by industry familiarity, communication style, and the specific workflows that matter in your sector.
*No Commitment for the first 2 months. Zero Risk.
Built for Vienna's English-Run Operating Reality
Vienna runs a disproportionate share of companies' Central and Eastern European operations, and those teams operate in English by default. DonnaPro EAs fit that reality - English is the working language, and Austria's business-English proficiency is among the highest in the EU, so day-to-day delegation rarely touches German at all.
When German correspondence does arrive, your EA handles light translation and context with AI-assisted tools. For native-level German calls, legal drafting, or sensitive local client work, a local hire is still the right call.
This page is built for the Austrian founder running multi-country operations in English, not for a domestic-only office role.
Client Testimonials: What Our Customers Say About Their “Donnas”...
My mindset before was that I need to do it all... it was slowing me down and costing my business money. Working with my EA allowed me to focus on new business opportunities that I didn’t have time for earlier, and it directly impacted my business growth.
DonnaPro doesn’t just connect you with an assistant and walk away. They constantly recruit, train, and equip their personnel. When our assistant showed up, she was ready not to learn, but to lead. We didn’t have to recruit, train, or worry about compliance – we just had to plug her into our work.
I’ve been working with virtual assistants for the past decade, and I think that right now I’m at a point where I feel that my search for the perfect virtual assistants is over.
★★★★★
I meant it when I said I needed help, and DonnaPro has really delivered. It has really impacted how I work and it has allowed me to focus on the things that really mattered.
Esteban A. MirandaCEO @ European Food Banks Federation / Non-Profit / NGO★★★★★
Working with DonnaPro and Grace has made a real difference to both my work and personal life. I feel more prepared, less rushed, and things I used to think about but never get around to are finally getting done. Honestly, it’s the best support I’ve had in years.
Andrew RobertsCEO & Partner / Biotech & Pharmaceutical Industry★★★★★
After a long time managing everything on my own in the start-up world, I realised I needed help. My EA has been amazing in managing my calendar, travel plans, T&E, and other small yet time-consuming tasks. We had morning check-ins at the beginning that paid off well. Now, I can much better focus on growing the business. Working with a Donna through a trusted virtual assistant agency makes delegation friction-free.
Jochen R.CEO @ MedTech Company / Medical Device Industry★★★★★
I used to manage my own travel, emails, and calendar, even while running multiple businesses. Then my EA (Romina) stepped in. She’s proactive, reliable, and keeps everything running smoothly without me having to ask. Our daily check-ins keep me on top of things, and her inbox summaries are a lifesaver when I’m travelling. I finally have the headspace to focus on what matters.
Dominic WhiteInvestor, Entrepreneur & Adventurer / Financial Services Industry★★★★★
My EA, Petra, has been very helpful during a particularly chaotic time in one of my businesses. With minimal guidance, she quickly adapted, proactively started searching for solutions, and delivered results. I love how I can just ping her on WhatsApp, and things get done seamlessly.
Daniel WeisslerFounder @ winTEC Solutions / Automotive Software Industry★★★★★
My EA doesn’t just complete tasks; she proactively identifies and solves potential issues before they become problems. Whether it’s a scheduling conflict or a looming deadline, my EA is always one step ahead, saving me countless headaches.
Lily SovinCo-Founder @ optika-oftalmos.com / Eyewear Industry★★★★★
I’m super happy with DonnaPro and with Angels. Even though we’ve only been working together for a few weeks, she already feels fully integrated into my business. I really appreciate how proactive she is and how she always brings practical suggestions. It’s such a relief to finally have four eyes instead of just two. We’re definitely on track to becoming a seamless team.
Marie UtschFounder & CEO @ marieutsch.com / Digital Marketing Industry★★★★★
Three months in, and it’s a relief to have someone who fully gets my tone of voice. Saga handles my inbox with confidence, answers questions independently, and keeps things moving without me needing to chase anyone – even while I was on my first real holiday in years.
Rubina RautFounder & CEO @ wuka.co.uk / Personal Care, E-commerce

Book a free strategy call ›FAQs: What Austrian Founders Ask Before Hiring an Executive Virtual Assistant
Do you offer assistants based in Austria?
No. DonnaPro assistants are based across the European Union and work remotely with Austrian clients. Because EAs operate in CET, they align exactly with Austrian business hours - the same working day with no time-zone gap.
Can your assistants speak German?
DonnaPro is an English-first service. For Austrian CEOs working internationally or with hybrid teams, this is rarely an obstacle. Your EA can handle light German context and drafting with AI-assisted tools. For native-level calls, legal writing, or complex German client communication, a local hire remains the better fit.
Why is hiring an EA in Austria more expensive than the salary suggests?
Austria pays salaries across 14 months rather than 12. Add employer social contributions of roughly 30%, and a €4,942 gross senior EA reaches a fully-loaded cost above €7,900 a month. DonnaPro has no employer contributions, 13th or 14th salary, or payroll administration.
Is DonnaPro GDPR compliant?
Yes. All DonnaPro EAs are EU-based and operate under GDPR-compliant workflows. Because Austria is an EU member state, the same GDPR framework that governs your business governs ours, without cross-border data-transfer concerns.
What can a DonnaPro assistant handle for Austrian founders?
DonnaPro EAs handle 70+ executive and operational tasks, including inbox and calendar management, international travel, meeting briefings, stakeholder follow-ups, research, document preparation, investor communication, CRM updates, SOP creation, project coordination, and personal admin.
How long does onboarding take?
Most Austrian clients are matched and actively delegating within 9 days. Your EA has already completed DonnaPro’s HR Time Vault training programme, so they arrive prepared to deliver value in the first week.
Is there a minimum commitment?
The first 60 days are commitment-free. Test the relationship, assess the fit, and continue only if the support is genuinely useful.
What if DonnaPro is not the right fit for my Austrian business?
The free strategy session is designed to answer exactly that. We assess whether EU-based managed executive support fits your working style, language requirements, and delegation needs - and we will be direct if a local Austrian hire or another model is a better fit.
Can DonnaPro support founders across Vienna, Graz, Linz, and Salzburg?
Yes. DonnaPro works remotely with Austrian founders across all major cities and federal states. Location within Austria does not affect delivery; the relevant factors are working language and whether your support needs fit a remote executive assistant model.
