Determine Your Needs
A small business need was uncovered for the multitude of owner-operators, solo-preneurs and overwhelmed entrepreneurs to have executive level administrative support just like the big guys. What we found was that the small business and especially the one man show can't justify employing a full time or, in some cases, even a part time employee. When you factor in salary, work space, benefits and all the other bells and whistles that go along with having an employee, the average small business owner usually decides to go it alone, cut corners and ultimately suffer through the administrative aspects of their business.
In early 2007 The Latham Group came into existence to fill that need. Whether the need is in the form of a highly skilled Executive Administrative Assistant or the services of a Personal Assistant, we're here to assist. Unlike the typical service provider, we have no employment contracts, no obligation to fill the salary requirements of someone putting in hours that you don't require and can't justify that simply do not make sense for your bottom line. We serve your administrative needs, from 2 to 60 hours per month. That means you're never locked into a part or full time employee, just 'order up' the help that you need.
With so many individuals working remotely, we've become desktop specialists. We may swing by your location, pick up work to bring back to the office to take care of. Technology has made workplace requirements so much different than they were just two years ago. We're able to change how we work to complement how you work and give you the same services you would receive if you had an assistant sitting outside your office.
Contact us with your 'I wish I could get help with list' and see if it makes sense for your situation.

typical hiring approachWhat is the actual cost of a full-time, in-house assistant?
Let's assume a minimum of $25 per hour at 40 hours per week. Over the course of a year you're spending $48,000 on salary alone. Add in the cost of health insurance, taxes, 401k, vacation at approximately 30-40% of salary and you've racked up about $64,000 annually in overhead. Let us not forget the less obvious and difficult to quantify expenses such as overhead related to time and money spent filling and training your position, the cost of computers and office technology, bonuses, raises, office space, lunch hours, sick and vacation pay and unaccounted for downtime and indifference to your business. |
our innovative approachWith TLG, there's no such thing as paid down time because you'll only be invoiced for time spent working directly on your projects, supporting your business or time that you've requested an administrative presence at your location.
You never supply office equipment, pay taxes*, vacation pay, and there's no additional cost to you beyond the actual hourly rate at which you've contracted our services for. With a TLG Independent Contractor, you're taking a machete to your administrative overhead and cutting an excess of 60% in most cases. That $64,000 in overhead going the traditional route translates to approximately $28,000 when you take our innovative approach. |
The examples above are typical of a full time employee versus utilizing the services of a contract administrative assistant. The example to the left increases exponentially if you plug in your executive hourly rate. If you're juggling your own administrative or personal tasks that $48,000 could easily rise. * Services above are a 100% tax deductible business expense in most cases.
