    #EP06 How to Hire an Executive Assistant For Your Fractional Practice (The 2026 Delegation Guide)

    When should a fractional executive hire an executive assistant? Many fractional leaders are exceptional operators inside client businesses, yet inside their own practice they delay delegation. They manage their own admin, calendar, follow-ups, and business development, slowly becoming the bottleneck. In this episode, Jag Jassel speaks with Francesca Moi, founder of Empowering Virtual Solutions, about when it actually makes sense to hire support. They discuss what to delegate first, common hiring mistakes, onboarding structure, security concerns, and how building the right support system changes both the practice and the lifestyle of a fractional leader.

    In this episode of The Fractional Practice Podcast, Jag Jassel speaks with Sydney based fractional CFO Divya Singh, founder of Truerock Consulting, about her transition from corporate leadership into independent fractional practice.
