Hire a Remote Executive Assistant for Your New York Business
Full-time remote EAs on Eastern Time for NYC finance partners, GCs, and founders. Calendar, inbox, international travel, and confidential coordination, from $1,400 per month fully managed.
Why NY Finance and Legal Execs Hire Remote EAs
Manhattan concentrates the highest density of senior executive roles in the country. Partner tracks at Big Law firms, MD roles at banks, fund GPs, and Fortune 500 CEOs are disproportionately based in NYC. Each of those roles historically came with a $100,000 to $150,000 dedicated in-office EA. Glassdoor and Robert Half tracking shows NYC senior EA pay in finance and legal routinely clearing $135,000, with MD-level EAs in the $150K to $180K range once bonus is included.
Post-2020, the math stopped working for anyone below the MD or managing partner tier. A VP at a mid-sized firm is billable or productive enough to need EA support, but not enough to justify $150,000 plus benefits. That is where remote EA support fills in. A Teckas EA works your full Eastern Time day, handles your calendar and inbox, books travel, manages vendor coordination, and costs $1,400 to $2,400 per month all-in, with strict confidentiality controls.
BLS May 2023 median for executive secretaries and executive admins is $67,510, with NY metro pay 40 to 60 percent above. The difference between a remote EA and a local EA is rarely output. It is almost always cost.
