Graphic design support for consulting firms that need to look the part

By Zack Pennington, CEO Updated

In consulting, your deliverables are your product, and a poorly formatted slide deck or an off-brand proposal can undermine the credibility of your actual work. Whether you're preparing client-facing presentations, polishing a capabilities deck, or producing visual frameworks for a strategic report, Nacho specialists handle the design execution so your team stays focused on the thinking. This is especially useful for boutique and independent consultants who don't have an in-house creative team but are competing against firms that do.

Tools we work with: Canva Adobe Express Google Slides Microsoft PowerPoint

Can a Virtual Assistant handle graphic design for consultants?

Yes. Nacho matches consultants with a vetted, 100% US-based Specialist who owns graphic design week after week, not a one-off task. Onboarding starts with a $300 Delegation Strategy Plan, your Talent Budget starts at $1,000 a month, and matching takes about a week.

How it works

How your Specialist owns graphic design for consultants

A Nacho Graphic Design Specialist works inside your existing tools: typically PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva, or Adobe Creative Suite, to produce polished, on-brand assets based on briefs or rough drafts you provide. For consulting clients, that usually means taking a content-complete slide deck and applying consistent formatting, visual hierarchy, and branded styling, or building out infographics and data visualizations from spreadsheet outputs. You stay in control of the content and messaging; the EA handles layout, typography, icon selection, and visual consistency. Most engagements run on an async workflow, you share files and feedback via email or a shared drive, and the EA returns revised assets within an agreed turnaround window. Your Client Success Manager helps define that workflow during onboarding so handoffs are clean from day one.

Off your plate

What your Specialist takes off your plate

Before your first handoff, pull together your brand guidelines: logo files, hex codes, approved fonts, and a slide deck or document you consider a good example of your current standard. The most common mistake new delegators make is sending a rough draft and expecting the EA to infer the standard; the clearer your reference point, the faster the first deliverable hits the mark. If you don't have formal brand guidelines yet, that's actually a great first project to assign.

  1. Client Presentation Formatting

    Takes a content-complete PowerPoint or Google Slides deck and applies consistent brand styling, slide layouts, and visual hierarchy for client delivery.

  2. Proposal and Capabilities Deck Design

    Designs or reformats RFP responses and capabilities decks to align with your firm's brand standards and present a professional, competitive look.

  3. Data Visualization and Infographic Creation

    Translates raw data, process flows, or frameworks from spreadsheets or whiteboard sketches into clear, client-ready charts, diagrams, and infographics.

  4. Branded Report and White Paper Layout

    Formats long-form deliverables: thought leadership reports, findings summaries, or white papers, in InDesign or Word with consistent styling and visual elements.

  5. Template Development and Brand Standardization

    Builds reusable master templates in PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Canva so your team can produce on-brand materials without starting from scratch each time.

The model

What delegating to Nacho actually looks like

This is ongoing delegation to one vetted, US-based person, not a task posted to a marketplace.

  1. Start with a Delegation Strategy Plan

    A one-time $300 onboarding fee pairs you with a Client Success Manager who maps what to hand off first. See the full process.

  2. Get matched in about a week

    We match you with a vetted, 100% US-based Specialist in your time zone. If the fit is not right, the Nacho Guarantee re-matches you free.

  3. Set a monthly Talent Budget

    Budgets start at $1,000 a month and draw across Executive Assistants from $40/hr, Specialists from $65/hr, and Fractional Executives from $125/hr. Up to $200 of unused budget rolls over each month. For marketing-led work, that senior seat is usually a Fractional CMO. See pricing in detail.

  4. Three months, then month to month

    The initial term is three months so the working relationship has time to compound, then it rolls month to month. Book a discovery call to size yours.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions

Can a Nacho EA work directly in our existing PowerPoint or Google Slides templates?
Yes, Nacho Specialists are experienced with both tools and can work inside your existing master templates or slide libraries. If you share your template files during onboarding, the EA can apply them consistently across every deliverable without you needing to reformat anything after the fact.
How does this work if our client deliverables are confidential?
Confidentiality is standard practice for consulting engagements, and Nacho EAs are accustomed to working under NDA. You can request an NDA before the engagement begins, and your Client Success Manager can walk you through the process during onboarding.
Is a $65/hr Specialist the right fit for this, or do I need a higher-tier resource?
For most consulting graphic design work: presentation formatting, proposal design, infographics, and template builds, a Specialist starting at $65/hr is the appropriate tier. If your needs extend into brand strategy, full identity development, or motion graphics, your Client Success Manager can help assess whether a different resource is a better fit.
