A note from Sharon

There is a particular kind of tiredness that has nothing to do with sleep.

It is opening your laptop before six, finding four hundred emails and a diary somebody else has filled, and knowing that the one thing that would genuinely move your business forward will not be touched again today.

You don’t need more staff. You need one person who holds the whole picture — who reads the room, protects your time without being asked, and never needs checking on.

For more than a decade I have been that person for corporate executives, finance professionals and private families. Prestige is where I now do it for a small number of clients directly — no agency, no account manager, no rotating junior assistants.

I manage the detail so you can focus on what deserves your attention.

Sharon CadeFounder, Prestige Executive Assistance

One person. Never a team.

You will not be handed to an assistant’s assistant. You brief me once, and I hold it — your preferences, your people, your pressure points. That is why the roster stays small by design.

Nothing leaves this desk.

Board papers, family matters, numbers you haven’t shown anyone. Every engagement begins with a signed NDA, and discretion is the part of this work I take most seriously.

It’s done before you wake.

Based in Australia, working with clients across the UK, Europe and the USA. You send it at the end of your day and it is finished, filed and waiting when you sit down the next morning.

Working together

Two ways to begin.

Most clients start with a single engagement — one problem, one fixed price, one clear result they keep. When it becomes obvious that having me in the background is worth more than having me for a fortnight, we move to a retainer.

Start here

A single engagement

One fixed price. One agreed date. One thing that is permanently better afterwards — and a system you keep whether we continue or not.

What usually happens next

Around week two, most clients notice something they didn’t expect: it isn’t the finished project they miss, it’s not having to think about any of it. That is the moment a retainer starts making sense — where we stop fixing the back end and I simply run it.

Your engagement fee is credited in full against your first month, if you begin a retainer within 30 days.

Ongoing

A standing arrangement

Asynchronous by design, so the work happens in the hours you’re not in. Minimum three months, because systems need time to become invisible.

Monthly Retainer

The Strategic Partner

Investment
$1,500 / month
Minimum three months

  • Calendar defence — scheduling built around your thinking time, not against it
  • An end-of-day briefing: what’s done, what’s pending, what needs a decision from you
  • Documents, expenses and Xero reconciliation kept current
  • Straightforward travel researched and booked
  • Email or Slack, answered within one business day

  • Priority access by WhatsApp or Signal, answered within twelve hours
  • Complex international travel, end to end, with a white-glove itinerary
  • I hold the gate — vendors, clients, meeting preparation and agendas

By Invitation

Chief of Staff

Investment
On application
One client at a time

For a single principal who wants their entire operating life — business, household, travel, correspondence — run by one trusted person.

The shape of it

  • Effectively full-time attention, without an employee on your books
  • Direct authority to act on your behalf within agreed limits
  • Family office and adviser coordination
  • Scope written specifically for you, reviewed quarterly

Prices are set in Australian dollars and shown here converted for convenience. Scope is confirmed in writing before anything begins.

Terms of engagement
Working model
Retainers run asynchronously and on high trust. Work is completed during Australian business hours; deliverables are timed to land before your morning. Urgent matters are handled as urgent — but the arrangement is not built on being permanently reachable, which is what makes the quality possible.
Additional work
Anything beyond your monthly scope is quoted and approved by you before it starts, charged at $150 AUD per hour. Retainer clients therefore work with me at roughly a third less than project rates — which is rather the point of a retainer.
Flexibility
Capacity is a monthly allowance, not a timesheet. Quiet months and heavy months balance out; if a pattern emerges in either direction, we adjust the arrangement rather than argue about it.
Beginning
Every client is onboarded properly: a signed service agreement and NDA, a secure credentials handover, and the creation of your Executive Playbook — the document that records how you like things done, so that I only ever have to ask once.
Commitment
Three months minimum. It takes about that long for the systems to be built, tested and to disappear into the background. After that, month to month with 30 days’ notice on either side.
Absence
I take two weeks of scheduled leave each year, notified at least a month in advance, with cover arrangements agreed with you beforehand.

From first contact

Four steps, and then it’s handled.

01

You write to me

A short enquiry through the form below. I read every one personally — there is no assistant screening them, and no calendar link to fill in yet.

02

We speak

If it looks like a fit, I’ll reply within one business day with a private booking link for a twenty-minute call. No obligation on either side.

03

You receive a proposal

Within 48 hours: scope, timeline and investment, written plainly. Then a service agreement and NDA before anything is touched.

04

I begin

We build your Executive Playbook in the first week — the record of how you like things done. After that, the only briefs you give me are new ones.

The person you’d be working with

Sharon Cade

Senior Executive Assistant  ·  10+ years  ·  Corporate, Finance & Private Client

I have spent more than a decade sitting just outside the corner office — for corporate executives, finance professionals and high net worth individuals, in Australia and internationally.

My background runs through private family offices, fast-moving consumer goods, finance and construction. Environments where nobody thanks you for precision because precision is simply assumed, and where discretion isn’t a policy so much as a habit.

I founded Prestige to bring that standard to a small number of clients directly, on a remote basis — combining genuinely senior EA capability with the flexibility and reach that a modern working life demands.

I am Xero-certified, fluent in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and experienced in complex international travel, board-level correspondence and personal affairs handled in complete confidence.

The roster is deliberately short. When you work with Prestige, you work with me — not a team of junior assistants, and not whoever happens to be free.

Your attention is the most expensive thing you own. My job is to spend as little of it as possible.

Every engagement is protected by a signed NDA and a full Privacy Policy — discretion isn’t an afterthought here.

What would you hand over first?

That question is usually the whole conversation. Write to me with the answer and, if it looks like a fit, I’ll send you a time to talk.

Request an Introduction

Enquire

Write to me first.

Prestige works with a small, private roster, so I don’t publish an open booking calendar. Tell me a little about your situation instead. I read every enquiry myself.

If it looks like a fit: I’ll reply within one business day with a private link to book a twenty-minute call.

If it isn’t: I’ll tell you honestly, and point you somewhere better where I can.

Working with clients in: United Kingdom · Europe · United States · Australia

Every engagement is subject to a signed Service Agreement and Non-Disclosure Agreement. Your enquiry is treated in confidence and never shared.

Before you write

It helps me to know:

  • What you’d hand over first, if you could hand over one thing
  • What that’s currently costing you — in hours, or in things not done
  • Whether you’re after a single engagement or ongoing support
  • How soon you’d want to begin

A paragraph is plenty. It doesn’t need to be tidy.
