Athena hires from the top 1% of assistants.

ClearDesk provides remote team members for all positions, including EAs, admin, sales, marketing, customer support, tech, and operations.

Athena offers an EA-only support model

ClearDesk team members can support your entire business or can serve as only an EA, depending on your specific needs.

Athena offers an EA-only support model.

ClearDesk uses a personalized matching process to align each candidate with your business needs. We present one carefully selected candidate so you avoid multiple interviews.
Every Remote Team Member is pre-trained on tools, workflows, and AI best practices, and if the fit isn’t right, before or after onboarding, you can be quickly matched with another.

Athena also matches clients with assistants and provides training in delegation and productivity.
However, their training is focused on general EA skills and does not include the industry-specific preparation that ClearDesk offers for different business functions and roles.

ClearDesk allows you to build an entire remote team across multiple roles and departments.

Athena is limited to one EA per person, with the option to add another EA if needed, but no other roles.

ClearDesk remote team members start at $2,500/month, including EA roles.

Athena starts at $3,000/month for a single EA.

What clients are saying about ClearDesk


Rachel M.
Director of Operations, Senior Helpers - Anchorage & Kenai Peninsula
Amazing pairing with our VA, she is thorough, polite and compassionate. We are a small, family-owned business and she has truly become another member of the family. She has taken our values and the goals we want to achieve and has been able to align with those goals. She speaks to our clients and employees with respect and compassion and has truly been an asset to our business. She has been flexible with the coverage we need and always ready to take on a new task.


Kim O.
Realtor, Compass
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Alex through ClearDesk, and I can’t say enough good things about her. She was an integral part of keeping the backend of my real estate team running smoothly. From managing our Google Drive and CRM, to coordinating listings, handling email communication, newsletters, and even mailings, Alex tackled it all with efficiency, professionalism, and a great attitude. She was always willing to jump in wherever needed and consistently delivered high-quality work. Her organizational skills and attention to detail helped streamline our operations, allowing our team to focus on serving clients.
