Are you ready for an EA?
Not everyone needs a full-time Executive Assistant. But you'd be amazed at how much more you can achieve by outsourcing at least some of your scheduling, inbox management, and all those other administrative tasks that take you away from spending time with your clients... or your family.
One Echo Alpha provides remote executive assistance to clients across New Zealand in the Defence and Government space. Our clients vary in size and requirements, and we tailor our services to meet these unique needs. From just a few hours a month, to more than 20 hours a week, we can create a support package that works best for you.
Why One Echo Alpha?
The team at One Echo Alpha have experience in the public-sector, and are passionate about helping our clients successfully work in this space.
Our current clients work within the defence industry, procurement, and bidding spaces across New Zealand.
Are you ready to spend more time with your staff, clients, and family?

Frequently asked questions
Want a little more info before you book a call?
Are you based in New Zealand?
Yes - all our staff are currently based in Canterbury. However, our clients are based in Auckland, Wellington, and Blenheim, so we provide support all over New Zealand!
Can you work in-person at my office?
Generally, no. All the team at One Echo Alpha work remotely. We prefer video calls over phone calls, and are happy to regularly chat during the week.
However, for some of our long-standing clients, we do occasionally spend some time in their office.
What hours do you work?
Each of our VAs works the hours that suit them and their levels of energy throughout the day. We discuss any specific time requirements (meetings etc) with our clients right from the start to arrange the best schedule. We value flexibility in working hours while ensuring we meet the clients' deadlines.
What security measures do you have in place?
Our team work at an Unclassified level only, unless given access to internal systems where needed. We use a paid password management tool, and all our VAs sign NDAs and confidentiality agreements.
We can discuss any specific security concerns you may have during a discovery call.
What if I need to increase my hours?
Your package is based on the minimum hours you need a month, and unused hours do not roll over to the next month. Based on your VA's availability, with prior arrangement we can generally accommodate a temporary increase in hours to support an event or staff absence at your end. If needed, our other VAs can step in to assist.
If you require a permanent increase in hours, we can review your package and amend it as required.
What is your favourite tipple?
Kat is very fond a gin martini... dry with a twist 😃
