How It Works

Dedicated Support, Built Into
Your Amata Workspace.

Fractional staffing at Amata is not a staffing agency or a temp service. Your dedicated professional is embedded in the Amata environment and trained in your specific workflows.

1

Choose Your Program

Select Admin-20, EA-30, or Paralegal-40 based on the type of work and experience level you need. Or start pay-as-you-go to assess volume.

2

Meet Your New Staff

You are matched with a dedicated professional. The same person works with you every month — no rotation, no surprises, no retraining.

3

Define Your Workflows

Your dedicated professional learns your processes, tools, and preferences. From month two onward, tasks run with minimal direction needed.

4

Scale as You Grow

Add hours, change programs, or combine fractional staffing with Marketing Lab as your needs evolve. 1 calendar month notice to terminate.

Common Questions

What Businesses Ask About
Fractional Staffing.

Fractional staffing provides a dedicated professional — administrator, executive assistant, or paralegal — working a fixed number of hours per month for your organization, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. Unlike a temp or a shared service, you get the same person every month, trained in your workflows and dedicated to your account. Programs start at $980/month for 20 hours.
Amata's fractional staffing programs start at $980 per month for the Admin-20 program (20 hours/month). The EA-30 program is $1,650 per month for 30 hours. The Paralegal-40 program is $2,520 per month for 40 hours. Pay-as-you-go rates are $70/hr for admin and marketing support and $90/hr for paralegal support, billed in 1/6th-hour increments.
The Admin-20 program provides an administrator for 20 hours per month focused on marketing execution and general admin tasks. The EA-30 program provides a more experienced executive assistant for 30 hours per month — performing all Admin-20 functions plus travel coordination, meeting scheduling, and email and phone follow-up. EA-30 staff are more senior and handle more complex organizational responsibilities.
No. The Paralegal-40 program is dedicated to legal work only — legal research, trial preparation, and document review. Marketing support is not part of the Paralegal-40 scope. For marketing execution, the Admin-20 or EA-30 programs are the right choice. Marketing Lab pairs with Admin-20 and EA-30 only.
Yes. Amata Coins can be applied toward the labor portion of paralegal and administrative support at a 32% discount off published pay-as-you-go rates. Virtual Office Plus members receive 204 Amata Coins each month. Coins roll over monthly and can also be applied toward conference room and day office bookings.
Monthly program fees are billed at the flat monthly rate. Pay-as-you-go support is billed in 1/6th-hour increments — meaning you are charged only for actual time used, not rounded to the nearest hour. All programs require 1 calendar month notice to terminate. There are no multi-year commitments and no cancellation penalties.
