Pricing for Every Level of Executive Support

Leaders who know their Executive Office needs to run better, but aren't sure which roles, workflows or structure they need.
EA programming is sold in hours and can vary based on scope, frequency and need. Volume discounts are available for EA commitments over 50 hours a month.
EOO Program ranges depend on the size and complexity of your executive office.
All EOO or CoS work is sold as flat fee scoped engagements (not hours).
Which level of support do you need?
Start with the sentence that sounds most like you.
"I'm buried in my own inbox and calendar. I'm still booking my own travel."
Start with a Fractional Executive Assistant. Your day is the bottleneck, and a team that owns it gives you hours back every week.
"My EA runs my day and my Integrator runs the business. But my ideas and Rocks still stall on my desk."
You need a Fractional Chief of Staff. Your day is handled. Your strategic agenda isn't. A senior partner owns it and moves it forward.
"We've added people and software. Work still comes back to leadership, and I can't figure out if hiring someone new is my way out of it."
Start with Executive Office Optimization. Adding another person may not fix it. We find what's actually getting in the way, then fix it.
Whatever Level You Choose, You Get the System Behind It.
U.S.-Based Support
Every person on your engagement is based in the US.
One Proven Methodology
Every engagement runs on our Let It Go! methodology, the delegation framework behind everything we do.
Reviews Against Real Measures
Every 90 days we check progress against success criteria we agreed with you, then reset the plan.
Continuity Built In
Your support never depends on one person. If someone's out or moves on, the work keeps going.
Senior Oversight
Someone beyond your day-to-day contact is accountable for the quality of the work.
No Surprises
Published pricing, clear commitments, and everything we build for you is yours.
How we compare

Plenty of firms will design it for you. Plenty will send you a person. We do both, in that order, so the people you add are working inside a structure that's built to use them.
What Leaders Say
★★★★★
I love knowing that things are getting done without my direct involvement. The nagging feelings of balls being dropped is now gone because of Delegate's consistent and valuable help.

Visionary, EOS Worldwide
How This Shows Up in Real Life
Here’s what leaders notice first when the right support structure is in place.
"With Delegate Solutions' help, I wasn't overloaded with a bunch of busywork, which freed me up to focus on the most important things as we grew."
Jim Boomer
“I have been working with Delegate for almost a decade (!) and I truly could not run my business without their incredible support. Delegate has been an essential partner through ups and downs, always demonstrating the highest level of professionalism, efficiency, and – most importantly – personal kindness.”

Pricing FAQ
How much does Delegate Solutions cost?
A Fractional Executive Assistant is $2,299–$3,959 a month. A Fractional Chief of Staff is $7,500 a month. Executive Office Optimization is $30,000–$35,000 for the core six-month engagement, before talent.
Why do you publish your pricing when most firms don't?
Because you shouldn't have to sit through a sales call just to find out what it costs. We put our pricing out in the open so you can decide whether it's in range for your budget and goals before you ever talk to us. We'll still have a fit conversation before we start, because the right support is a two-way match.
Why don't you price the Chief of Staff by the hour?
You're buying a senior relationship and outcomes, not a meter. Expect about 1–1.5 days a week of capacity, spread across your week.
What's the minimum commitment?
EA: renews annually, with 90-day notice. Chief of Staff: six months. Executive Office Optimization: two fixed-fee sprints.
How do Executive Office Optimization payments work?
Each sprint is a fixed fee, invoiced in installments. Any talent is billed monthly. Savings are available when you pay upfront.
What if Executive Office Optimization shows I need a person, not a project?
You can borrow a Delegate EA or Chief of Staff at the published rates, or we can recruit someone for you to hire directly.
I have an EA. Do I need a Chief of Staff?
Maybe not. Your EA manages your day. A Chief of Staff advances your agenda: the decisions, initiatives and ideas only you are sponsoring. If your day is under control but your priorities still stall, that's the gap a Chief of Staff fills. If your day isn't under control yet, start with an EA.
How does a fractional Chief of Staff compare with fractional COO rates?
It's a different role. A COO runs the business. A Chief of Staff advances your agenda, alongside them.
Can I start with one and move to another?
Yes. Many clients start with an EA or Executive Office Optimization.
Not Sure Where to Start? Start With the Conversation.
Tell us where work is breaking down. We'll help you find the right starting point, from an executive assistant to a new operating model. If none of them fits, we'll say so and point you somewhere better.
Most calls last 25–30 minutes and are led by a senior member of our team.
