Build Your Business Without the Busyness
You started your company because you had a passion for what you do. But now you’re finding you no longer enjoy your work because the “must do” tasks are overtaking the “want to do” tasks. Wouldn’t it be great if you could concentrate on just what you are passionate about, and not worry about the “other stuff”?
Just because you CAN do it all, doesn’t mean you SHOULD.
ExecAssist can take care of your busyness so you can build your business! We are your one-stop solution to virtually all your administrative needs.
Do What You Love, Delegate The Rest
Hiring ExecAssist to tackle the “other stuff” will allow you to work smarter and devote your time to the areas of your business that only you can do. Delegate the tasks that you don’t enjoy or have the skillset to complete so you can focus on what’s important to you.
Full-time assistants are expensive. Hiring a virtual assistant gives you all the benefits of a full-time employee (dedication, accessibility, ongoing training) without the payroll, benefits, costly overhead, and complications of an employee.

Recommendations
Erin Owen, MBA, MCC | CEO, EEO Balance Corporation
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kate Kelly for more than 15 years. She has been a key member of my business back office team, leading all activities related to email newsletters, website design and administration, social media account management and posting, slide deck graphic design and editing, client report generation, backend payment administration, and much much more. Her strengths include creativity, loyalty, responsiveness, a “can do” attitude, and an incredibly warm-hearted approach.”
Ariadne Moisiades | Executive and Personal Coach, Facilitator and Trainer
I’ve teamed up with Kate Kelly for the better part of a year now, and I’m here to say: if you want to hire a VA who’s not only willing to do what it takes to get the job done, but also someone you can count on to deliver on time and on point, Kate’s the smart hire. She’s handled everything I’ve asked of her capably – including the occasional chaotic and confusing project – with grace and professionalism.
Craig Fisher | Senior Tax Manager at Aprio Senior
Kate was a great executive assistant when we worked together at KPMG. She took the initiative to manage many aspects of our day-to-day responsibilities. She was conscientious and thorough in her work and could always be relied upon. She managed preparing documents, making travel arrangements, communicating with clients, and tracking financial results and billing. I would highly recommend Kate.
Nino DeNicola | Dialogue Resource Inc. Owner & CEO
Kate is an extremely competent and responsible EA. Her high intelligence enables her to work quickly and efficiently. She fully understands the demands of an “utmost urgency” business environment and she is adept at dealing with Fortune 500 clients directly. I strongly recommend her services.
Lew Gediman | The Gediman Research Group, Inc., Owner
A self-starter, Kate is smart, versatile, resourceful, and fast. First-rate professional skills augmented by a can-do attitude and engaging personality.
Marta Costa | Full Service Online Business Manager & Integrator for Established Coaches and Course Creators
Kate does excellent work and has saved my bacon more times than I can count! The graphics she’s created for me are always fresh and creative. She takes great care of our clients as virtual assistant and project manager and without exception, each and every single one has always given me great feedback about Kate’s work and working with Kate in general.
Dolly Garlo, RN, JD, | Professional Coach
Kate Kelly is an exceptional executive assistant who can function well virtually. She has managed many different executive and administrative tasks for us long distance with ease, and everything she takes on she does expediently and professionally. Kate handles “back-end” operational matters that allow business to move smoothly forward – all those “invisible” projects that need excellence to stay smooth and invisible to clients! She communicates brilliantly and her word is golden – very ethical and trustworthy – and she’s a great extension of our business with the streamlining of an independent contractor relationship. If you need any of the services she provides, I’m sure she’d do a great job for you.
Kristine (Kris) Carey | Reinvention Expert: Reinventing Your Business, Reinventing Finding Clients, Reinventing You!
Kate has been fun to work with, and I know I can count on her to deliver. She built my blogsite, talked me through it, and I’ve come out with something that I can really use. I recommend her!
Terri Tutich | WordPress Whisperer, Developer & Trainer
I recently switched to QuickBooks from another accounting software program, and needed a customized invoice created. Not looking forward to spending a weekend trying to figure it out, I was grateful when Kate offered to help me out. The finished product is so much better than I could have expected. Kate definitely has a flair for making even mundane things like an invoice look fabulous! I look forward to another opportunity to work with her.
Dolly Garlo, RN, JD, | Professional Coach
While she has many skills, I asked Kate to do some project work for me primarily involving web design and graphics – and we worked virtually, primarily by phone and email. She is a clear communicator and delivered my anticipated results in a timely manner. Kate is also a very pleasant person to work with. I will continue to utilize her services as needed, and refer her to others who may need any of the many services she is able to provide. Anyone who needs overall coordination of ongoing projects or services would be well served by working with Kate, who I’m sure would take them on and manage them in a professional and systematic manner.

Life of a Ginger
Editor in Chief · Self-employed | Jan 2008 – March 2025
I created Life of a Ginger formerly My Mommy Brain) as a place to share the adventures of being a work-from-home mom with an infant who never slept.
Over the years, it’s grown into my lifestyle blog where I share delicious food and cocktail recipes, fun adventures and travel tips, North Carolina event info, product recommendations, and advice for thriving in our crazy, over-scheduled world.
With plenty of experience losing my mind trying to manage life’s curveballs—thanks to my husband’s career that’s had us moving 5 times in less than 5 years—I’ve become an expert at creating something from nothing (dinner, gifts, entertainment, money) and navigating unemployment and job search challenges.
Follow along as I navigate life as a work-from-home entrepreneur, horrible housekeeper, and travel enthusiast who mostly goes to the grocery store and kids’ events.
Through my blog, I hope to inspire others to laugh at themselves and enjoy their life and family to the fullest.
