Fractional Email & Inbox Management

Your inbox shouldn't run your day

The average professional spends 28% of their workday on email. That's over 11 hours a week triaging, responding, and following up. Nacho's Executive Assistants manage your inbox so you can focus on the work that moves your business forward.

Can I delegate email & inbox management to a Virtual Assistant?

Yes. Nacho matches you with a vetted, 100% US-based Executive Assistant who owns your email & inbox management every 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.

What we handle

What your Executive Assistant takes over

Recurring work your US-based Executive Assistant owns from week one. No vague promises.

Inbox triage and prioritization

Your EA reviews incoming messages, flags urgent items, archives noise, and surfaces what actually needs your attention.

Draft responses and follow-ups

Routine replies handled in your voice, with templates for common scenarios and escalation rules for anything that needs your direct input.

Scheduling coordination via email

Meeting requests, availability confirmations, and calendar holds managed directly from your inbox without the back-and-forth.

Client and vendor communication

Regular touchpoints, status updates, and check-ins sent on your behalf, keeping relationships warm without eating your calendar.

Newsletter and subscription management

Unsubscribe from noise, organize important newsletters into folders, and surface industry updates worth reading.

Slack and messaging overflow

For teams using Slack or Teams alongside email, your EA monitors channels, flags action items, and ensures nothing gets buried in the scroll.

How it works

How the handoff works

During onboarding, you and your Client Success Manager define your inbox rules: what gets forwarded to you immediately, what your EA can handle independently, and what needs a drafted response for your approval. Most clients start with a 'triage and flag' approach for the first week, then expand to independent responses as your EA learns your communication style. You'll get a daily summary of what was handled and what needs your attention.

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 Executive Assistant 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. 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

How does an EA learn my communication style?
Your EA studies your sent messages during the first week, noting tone, common phrases, and response patterns. Most EAs are drafting accurate responses within 5-7 days. You review and approve drafts until you're confident, then they handle responses independently.
Will people know they're emailing an EA instead of me?
That's up to you. Some clients prefer their EA to sign off as themselves, while others have their EA respond from a shared alias. Either way, the goal is seamless communication that matches your voice.
What if something urgent comes in?
Your triage rules define what counts as urgent and how your EA escalates: text, Slack message, or phone call. Response time for flagged items is typically under 15 minutes during business hours.
Can an EA manage multiple email accounts?
Yes. Many clients have their EA manage both a personal and business inbox, or monitor a shared team inbox alongside their individual one. Your Delegation Strategy Plan defines the scope and access for each account.
