We provide accessible nearshore talent to help you build capacity within your budget.
Hiring an Executive Assistant from Latin America through Vintti costs $700–$800/month depending on country — over 80% less than the $4,333/month US median from the same searches (Vintti assistant placement data, 38 placements, 2026).
Based on Vintti's 200+ placements for US companies — professional services firms, healthcare groups, SaaS startups and SMBs.
A nearshore Executive Assistant supports one leader (or a small exec team) directly: owns the calendar and defends priorities, triages the inbox and drafts on your behalf, coordinates travel end-to-end, preps meetings and materials, tracks follow-ups and handles communications with clients, investors and vendors — with the discretion the seat requires.
Executive Assistants placed by Vintti are bilingual (C1 English, executive- and client-facing), experienced supporting C-level leaders, and work your hours in real time: when your 2pm gets moved, your EA is online handling it — not asleep in another hemisphere. Dedicated — one person who works only for you.

For an executive-facing seat, country selection comes down to English level, timezone fit and the seniority available.
A Vintti Executive Assistant gives a leader their time back: owns the calendar and resolves conflicts before they reach you, triages the inbox and drafts replies in your voice, books and re-books travel, preps agendas and materials for meetings, captures decisions and chases follow-ups, and manages expenses. Senior profiles coordinate across an exec team and handle board-meeting logistics.
Core skillsWritten + live evaluation — drafting an email in the executive's voice, phone manner with a client. C1 required for this seat ("Houston English" — they'll talk to your clients and board).
Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, multi-timezone calendaring, travel and expense tools — role-specific tests.
In-house HR psychologist evaluates reliability, discretion and consistency — the traits an executive seat depends on.
Scenario-based: two priorities colliding on the calendar, an urgent travel change, a gatekeeping call with incomplete information — we test anticipation and judgment, not just execution.
You interview a shortlist — hire only if convinced.

Vintti employs the candidate for you at first, then you take over the contract when ready.
Learn moreA board call moves at 2pm EST, a flight cancels at noon — an offshore assistant in Manila is asleep, and your afternoon reshuffles itself without help. Your nearshore EA handles it in the moment: the calendar is fixed, the people are notified, and you find out it was ever a problem after it's solved.
Between $700 and $800 per month depending on country — see the salary table above, built from 38 of our own assistant placements. Sourcing, recruiting and ongoing admin support are part of the engagement, with payroll and compliance handled through third-party payroll services.
An executive assistant supports one leader (or a small exec team) directly: calendar ownership, inbox triage, gatekeeping, judgment calls made on your behalf. An administrative assistant supports a team or an office: scheduling, expenses, vendors, documents. If the bottleneck is your own time, it's an EA.
Discretion is screened for, not assumed: every candidate is evaluated by our in-house HR psychologist on reliability and discretion, references are checked, and full-time dedication is verified. You meet the shortlist and decide who earns the seat.
Yes. Latin America overlaps fully with US time zones (EST/CST) — your EA is online when your calendar is moving. That's the structural advantage over offshore assistants in Asia, where every change waits overnight.
No. You hire one dedicated Executive Assistant who works only for you, in your tools, reporting to you — the context compounds on your side. Vintti is a staffing and recruiting firm, not a BPO, not an assistant service, and not an EOR.
Our staffing model includes free and unlimited replacements — if the fit isn't right, we restart the search and present new candidates at no additional cost. There are also flexible buyout options if you decide to bring the person in-house.
Give your calendar an owner with Vintti. Pay only when you hire.
