“It’s The Perfect Solution For Top-Notch Support Without Breaking The Bank”
After a long time managing everything on my own in the startup world, I realized 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.
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 traveling. I finally have the headspace to focus on what matters.
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.
My EA doesn’t just complete tasks; she proactively identify and solve 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.
Hiring a Donna EA has been incredibly cost-effective. Instead of multiple full-time employees for various tasks, my EA handles everything efficiently. The savings have allowed us to reinvest in other critical areas. It’s the perfect solution for top-notch support without breaking the bank.

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.
I had high expectations, but the reality has been above a 10. Because my EA has a background in my industry, she understands exactly what I need immediately – it feels like she is a core part of the team, not an external hire. I’m no longer losing time managing tasks; instead, I’m using that freedom to focus on the sales team and close deals daily. Donna Pro’s recruitment is on another level; she isn’t just delivering, she is over-delivering.
I was amazed at how quickly my Donna EA integrated into our team. Within weeks, they were up to speed and contributing meaningfully. The rapid onboarding minimized disruption and maximized value from the start.
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.
The Real Cost Isn't What You Pay - It's What You Lose
Most executives don’t struggle to find an assistant. They struggle to find one they don’t have to babysit.
Hiring in-house means interviews, onboarding, HR overhead, sick days, and a salary that runs whether the work justifies it or not.
In markets like the UK, Germany, or the US, a full-time executive assistant easily costs €6,000 – €10,000 per month once you factor in employer contributions, equipment, and management time – for a role that, in many cases, doesn’t have enough high-leverage work to fill 40 hours a week.
Freelancers look cheaper until they disappear mid-project, or you realise you’re client #47 on their roster and your priorities come third.
What most CEOs actually want isn’t to manage a person. They want the output – without the overhead.
That’s the gap DonnaPro fills. We hire the right people, train them on executive-level support, and give them access to internal systems and knowledge that most assistants spend years building on their own. You plug in and delegate from day one.
No recruitment process. No performance management. No wondering whether your EA knows what they’re doing.
Our part-time model works for the majority of founders – structured support, meaningful time savings, none of the full-time overhead.
For executives whose operational complexity has genuinely outgrown part-time support, we also offer a dedicated full-time executive assistant option.
Either way, the math holds. If your time is worth €150 an hour and we give you 60 hours back, that’s €9,000 in recovered value. The invoice is the smallest number in that equation.
This isn’t a cost. It’s leverage.

Beyond the Process: The Real-World Impact on Our Partners
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.
Why Not Just Hire “Any” Assistant?
You could post a job ad tomorrow. You’d get 200 applications. You’d spend 15 hours screening. You’d interview 10 people. You’d pick someone and pray it works out.
Three months later, they quit. Or underperform. Or need constant hand-holding. And you’re back to square one – minus 50+ hours and whatever salary you already paid.
Or:
You book one call with us. We match you with a vetted, trained EA who’s already proven. They come with backup coverage, quality oversight, and a team making sure they succeed.
No job posts. No payroll setup. No management headaches.
Just results – from week one.
You Have Questions, We Have Answers
What's the difference between DonnaPro part-time and full-time support?
The part-time model is DonnaPro’s core offering – and the right fit for the vast majority of CEOs and founders we work with. Your EA works with us full-time internally, but dedicates structured, high-output time exclusively to your business. This delivers up to 60 hours of freed capacity per month without the cost or overhead of a dedicated hire.
The full-time model is for executives whose operational complexity has genuinely outgrown part-time support – where volume, depth of involvement, or the need for real-time availability justifies a dedicated EA working exclusively for them, five days a week.
Both models include the same DonnaPro infrastructure: vetted EAs, internal quality management, backup support, and seamless onboarding.
If I choose part-time - how does that work in practice?
You get a dedicated EU-based executive assistant who works your hours, understands your business, and handles the tasks that drain your time. She or he is backed by DonnaPro’s internal team – account managers, quality supervisors, and senior EAs – so nothing slips through the cracks.
The standard package is €2,700/month, all-inclusive. No hourly tracking, no hidden fees. Most clients start seeing meaningful time savings within the first two to three weeks.
If I choose full-time - how does that work in practice?
The full-time model gives you an EU-based EA working exclusively for your business, five days a week. Same onboarding process, same internal quality infrastructure, same 9-day start timeline – just significantly more bandwidth.
It’s designed for founders managing high operational complexity, large teams, or multiple entities where part-time support would be a bottleneck rather than a solution.
Is there a setup fee?
Yes, there is a one-time setup fee of €1,000 – but if you sign up for a call while our current promotion is still active, we’ll cover that fee for you.
We dedicate the first 10 days to deeply understanding your business, identifying your unique needs, and carefully matching you with the right EA. By the time your assistant officially starts, they’re fully equipped and ready to make an immediate difference. The regular monthly fee begins only after the onboarding period ends.
Can I start with a smaller package and save fewer than 60 hours?
We get it – starting small can feel like a safer bet. But here’s the truth: 60 hours of saved time is where the magic happens.
Anything less? It’s just not going to move the needle. Our experience shows that saving 10 or 20 hours won’t deliver the game-changing impact you’re after.
We’re here to help you make big strides, not just baby steps. That’s why we’re all in on the 60-hour package – it’s the sweet spot where your investment in an executive assistant truly pays off.
Can I start with a bigger package and save more than 60 hours?
Based on what we see across our clients, the standard model (€2,700 per month, ~60 hours saved) works extremely well for the vast majority of founders and CEOs, including those running teams of 10, 20, or even 100+ employees.
However, if you already feel that you need significantly more capacity from day one, we can structure the support differently. Additional options are available internally and can be discussed during your free strategy call.
What kind of support is provided by the company?
Beyond your EA, you’ll have access to a whole team of experts, from business consultants to account managers. This ensures you’re never left without the guidance or assistance you need to succeed.
How does a free 30 minute strategy session work?
During the session, we ask targeted questions to understand your needs and goals, ensuring we are fit to help you reach your goals. We are assuming you will also ask some questions, and once you do, we will both decide if we want to move forward or not. Even if the answer is ‘no,’ you’ll still leave with valuable insights and actionable steps to boost your efficiency and reclaim your time. Book your 30 minute strategy session here.
These are only the most common questions we get on pricing.
