Finding the right resource has never been more flexible

How much does it cost to hire a remote Administrative Assistant?

−
Administrative Assistant engagements through Kuubiik start from $900 per month on a fixed monthly fee. Pricing is based on the assistant's experience level, the scope of responsibilities involved, and whether the role is full-time or part-time. Visit kuubiik.com to request a custom quote.

What does an outsourced Administrative Assistant handle?

+
A Kuubiik-assigned Administrative Assistant manages scheduling, calendar management, email triage, document preparation, travel coordination, data entry, meeting minutes, and general office support - all fully remote-compatible. They can work within your existing tools (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack) and follow your processes from day one. Kuubiik handles all contracts, compliance, and payments.

How do we get them set up and working quickly?

+
Onboarding typically takes 15 calendar days. A brief walkthrough of your tools, processes, and recurring tasks is all that is needed to get them productive. Most clients give their assistant access to calendar, email, and any project management tools they use and check in daily for the first week or two.

Is remote admin support as effective as having someone in the office?

+
For the vast majority of admin tasks, yes. Most executive and team-facing admin work is already tool-based - scheduling, comms, documentation, and coordination all happen over email, Slack, or your project management platform. Where physical presence is genuinely needed, we can discuss what is in scope and adjust accordingly.

What if the assistant does not keep up with the workload?

+
Replacements are free and unlimited. One day's written notice in the first two months, two weeks after that. Replacements for admin roles are typically ready within 15 days.

What countries can I source a remote Administrative Assistant from?

+
Remote Administrative Assistants are sourced from Southeast Asia and Latin America (LATAM). Southeast Asia has a deep talent pool for HR, admin, and ops roles - particularly in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. LATAM (Colombia, Brazil, Argentina) works well for clients that need US business hours coverage. Language requirements or regional experience can be specified when you share your brief.

What does the monthly fee include when outsourcing an Administrative Assistant?

+
The monthly fee covers everything on the engagement management side - your Administrative Assistant's compensation, contract setup, compliance administration, and monthly payments. There are no recurring admin fees on top. The only upfront cost is a one-time deposit equivalent to one month's fee. Any tools or software subscriptions needed for the role are separate and remain under your control.

How is outsourcing an Administrative Assistant different from using a temp agency or freelance platform?

+
Outsourcing an Administrative Assistant through a Contractor of Record model gives you a dedicated, full-time professional working exclusively for your business - not a freelancer splitting attention across multiple clients. Contracts, compliance, and monthly payments are fully managed, so there is no admin overhead on your side. You also get free, unlimited replacements if the fit is not right. Temp agencies charge premium rates and provide no guarantee of continuity - you may get a different person each time. A dedicated admin assistant working exclusively for your business builds process knowledge over time, which is where the real efficiency comes from.
