60+ Hours Saved Per Month
DonnaPro is built around one outcome: helping CEOs and founders reclaim 60+ hours per month. Inbox, calendar, travel, follow-ups, research, and operational admin - delegated and handled without you becoming the bottleneck.
Finnish founders already work remotely and in English, so a remote English-speaking EA isn't a compromise - it's the natural fit. The real question is whether you want to manage an assistant or simply have the work done. DonnaPro is fully managed: you delegate, we handle quality, cover, and performance. Reclaim 60+ hours per month - inbox, calendar, travel, follow-ups, and operations handled without adding headcount.
Book Your Free Strategy SessionThe hidden cost of an in-house EA in Finland isn't the salary - at roughly €3,978 gross a month for a senior hire, it's among the more reasonable in Western Europe. The cost is that you become their manager. You recruit, you onboard, you set up QA, you handle sick days and holiday cover, you run performance reviews, and you carry the risk when they leave.
For a founder whose time is the scarce resource, managing an assistant is its own job.
DonnaPro removes that layer entirely: the EA is managed by us, with dedicated quality monitoring, structured onboarding, and built-in cover. You get the output without the management overhead.
DonnaPro is built around one outcome: helping CEOs and founders reclaim 60+ hours per month. Inbox, calendar, travel, follow-ups, research, and operational admin - delegated and handled without you becoming the bottleneck.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Few markets are as ready for a remote EA as Finland. Distributed teams, asynchronous work, and English as a default business language are already the norm rather than the exception.
A DonnaPro EA slots into that culture without friction - same CET-adjacent hours, English-first communication, and tooling your team already uses.
There's no adjustment period for "working with someone remote," because that's how Finnish companies already operate. The model fits the country instead of fighting it.

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 / NGOWorking 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 IndustryAfter 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 IndustryI 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 IndustryMy 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 IndustryMy 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 IndustryI’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 IndustryThree 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.

Salary, employer contributions, equipment, recruitment, and the management time you personally absorb push the real cost of a top-tier in-house Finnish EA past €73,000 a year – before counting your own hours spent managing them.
With DonnaPro, you get fully managed executive-level support – remote, part-time or full-time, on your terms.
No long-term contracts. No hidden fees. Just results.

Honest note in plain sight: at full-time, DonnaPro’s €6,500/month is close to a loaded in-house cost. The difference isn’t the headline price – it’s that one option you manage, and the other is managed for you.

Year-one cost comparison between hiring an executive assistant in-house in Finland versus DonnaPro's part-time and full-time virtual EA options. Note: in-house figures reflect salary and employer contributions only - recruitment agency fees, equipment, HR overhead, your own management time, and onboarding costs are not included.
Start saving time. Get an assistant→Before you even contact us, we've invested months building our talent pool. We recruit across the EU, run candidates through a six-stage hiring process (only 1% make it through), and train every EA in delegation frameworks, tools, and CEO support best practices. When you're ready to start, we're not scrambling to find someone. We're matching you with an EA who's already prepared.
We start with a conversation - no sales pressure, no commitment. We learn about your business, your challenges, your working style, and what support would actually help. You walk away with clarity on whether DonnaPro is right for you. If it is, we move forward. If not, no hard feelings - and you'll still have useful insights from the conversation.
Based on your preferences, we select an EA who fits your needs, personality, and tools. We consider industry experience, communication style, technical skills, and working preferences. You're not getting a random assignment. You're getting someone chosen specifically for you.
We run a structured onboarding process to set you and your EA up for success. This includes understanding your tools, processes, preferences, and priorities - plus executive research on your business, industry, and network. Most Finnish clients are actively delegating within the first two weeks.
Now the real value begins. Your EA handles execution. You handle strategy. Your inbox stays at zero. Your calendar makes sense. Your travel is sorted. Your follow-ups happen. You finally have space to think, lead, and build - instead of drowning in tasks.
You might’ve landed here by accident – but we’re glad you did. If you’re based elsewhere, use the map below to find your region. And if you don’t see your country?
That’s fine too.

No. DonnaPro assistants are based across the European Union and work remotely with Finnish clients. EAs operate in CET, one hour behind Finnish time (EET) - a minor, predictable offset that has no practical effect on a normal working day.
Almost certainly, because Finnish companies are already built for it. Distributed teams, asynchronous communication, and English as a default business language are standard in Finland, so a remote English-speaking EA integrates without the adjustment period other markets need. The way DonnaPro works is the way you likely already work.
At the headline level, yes - full-time DonnaPro is close to a fully loaded in-house cost in Finland. The difference is what sits behind the number. With an in-house hire, you are the manager: recruitment, onboarding, QA, holiday and sick cover, and performance are all yours. With DonnaPro it's a managed service - we handle all of that, with dedicated quality monitoring. You're not paying for a person to manage; you're paying for work that gets done.
Most choose part-time. For the majority of founders, a flexible part-time EA at €2,700/month clears the inbox, calendar, travel, and follow-up load that consumes the working week. Full-time (€6,500/month) is available when the workload genuinely justifies it, but part-time is enough for most - and you can scale up later if that changes.
DonnaPro is an English-first service, and in Finland that's rarely a constraint, given how widely English is used in business. If occasional correspondence arrives in Finnish, your EA can handle light context and drafting using AI-assisted tools. For native-level calls or complex Finnish-language client communication, a local hire remains the better fit.
Yes. All DonnaPro EAs are EU-based and operate under GDPR-compliant workflows. Because Finland is an EU member state, the same GDPR framework that governs your own business governs ours - no cross-border data transfer concerns. Sensitive commercial data, stakeholder communication, and confidential documents are handled with the same standards applied to in-house hires.
DonnaPro EAs handle 70+ types of executive and operational tasks. The most common for Finnish clients include inbox management, calendar coordination, international travel planning, meeting preparation and briefings, stakeholder follow-ups, research, document preparation, investor communication, CRM updates, SOP creation, project coordination, and personal admin. During onboarding, DonnaPro identifies which workflows create the most leverage for your specific business and builds the EA role around those priorities.
Most Finnish clients are matched and actively delegating within 9 days. Before you arrive, your EA has already completed DonnaPro's HR Time Vault training programme covering delegation frameworks, executive tools, and CEO support best practices. You are not starting from zero - your EA arrives prepared to deliver value in the first week.
The first 60 days are commitment-free. You can test the relationship, assess the fit, and continue only if the support is genuinely useful. There is no lock-in during the trial period.
That is exactly what the free strategy session is for. We will assess whether EU-based managed executive support fits your working style, language requirements, and delegation needs. If you need a local Finnish hire, native-language support, or a different model entirely, we will be direct about that during the call.
Yes. DonnaPro works with Finnish founders across the country, from Helsinki and Espoo to Tampere and Oulu. The service is fully remote, so location within Finland does not affect delivery. The relevant factors are working language (English) and whether your support needs fit a remote executive assistant model rather than an in-office role.
