We’re excited to share that ProAssisting has made the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies for 2025, ranking #2466 with 172% growth over three years.

This recognition from Inc. Magazine means a lot to us. The Inc. 5000 represents the most successful independent businesses in America. Making this list shows we’re building something sustainable and impactful.

We couldn’t have done this without our clients who trust us with their executive support needs. Our ProAssistants make it all possible with their dedication and expertise. And our partners who spread the word about what we do—thank you!

What This Means for ProAssisting

When we started ProAssisting in 2018, we saw a gap in the market. Companies needed high-level executive support, but didn’t always need someone full-time. Virtual assistants weren’t cutting it. So we created something different—fractional executive assistance with experienced professionals.

Over the past few years, we’ve proven that remote fractional assistants can handle 95% of what an in-house executive assistant does. Our ProAssistants serve as what we call performance multipliers. They don’t just manage calendars and emails.

They step into five key roles:

  • Business Partner: They understand your goals and represent you in meetings when needed.

  • Chief of Staff: They become the single point of contact for your team and external partners.

  • Project Manager: They own complex projects from start to finish.

  • Assistant/Scheduler: They protect your time and manage logistics with precision.

  • Personal Assistant: They handle personal tasks that free up your mental space.

Our growth reflects a shift in how executives think about support. They’re realizing they don’t need someone sitting outside their office to get exceptional assistance.

Technology has made remote support seamless. Our ProAssistants use the same tools, join the same meetings, and integrate into teams just like in-house staff.

Last year, we were also recognized as a 2024 Inc. Power Partner Honoree in four categories, which highlighted our commitment to helping businesses scale through expert support. This 2025 Inc. 5000 recognition builds on that momentum and validates our approach to executive assistance.

Founder’s Note

“We’re thrilled ProAssisting has made the 2025 Inc. 5000 list,” says Ethan Bull, Co-founder and President of ProAssisting.

He continues, “Our focus on partnering with exceptional executive assistants based in the United States with leaders of US-based companies has allowed for continued growth since our inception in 2018, and this recognition is a testament to our service.”

Stephanie Bull, Co-founder and CEO, adds her perspective: “We could not have made this list without the partnerships we’ve formed with our ProAssistants—executive assistants who have the career experience needed to provide exceptional long-term support to our clients on a fractional basis.”

Team Spotlight

Our team includes over 35 career executive assistants, whom we call ProAssistants. These aren’t entry-level virtual assistants, nor freelancers juggling multiple gigs.

They’re professionals with 5 to 20+ years of experience supporting C-suite executives at Fortune 500 companies like Oracle, Target, and Fidelity.

Each ProAssistant brings unique expertise. Some excel at complex travel coordination. Others have managed multi-million dollar estate projects. They’ve supported CEOs through IPOs and coordinated board meetings for public companies.

Many have served as chiefs of staff or project managers. This diversity means we can match clients with assistants who understand their specific needs.

What sets our ProAssistants apart is their commitment to the profession. They chose to be executive assistants. They invest in their skills. They participate in professional communities. They see this work as a career, not a stepping stone.

Our acceptance rate stays below 5% because we’re selective. We look for assistants who combine technical skills with what we call a hospitality mindset. They need to anticipate needs, communicate clearly, and represent their clients at the highest level.

Looking Ahead

The Inc. 5000 recognition marks a milestone, not a finish line. We’re continuing to educate the market about what makes our model different. Many people still confuse fractional executive assistance with traditional virtual assistant services.

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • 3-to-1 Executive-to-Assistant Ratio: We limit each ProAssistant to supporting a maximum of three clients. This ensures dedicated attention and deep partnerships.

  • Fair Compensation Model: We compensate our EAs (ProAssistants) based on their experience level, passing along 75+% of client fees. This structure attracts seasoned professionals who stay partnered with their clients long-term instead of commanding six-figure salaries in corporate roles.

These are business practices that serve as the foundation of lasting relationships. Clients stay with us for years because their ProAssistant becomes indispensable. ProAssistants stay because they’re valued and fairly compensated.

Our goals for the next phase focus on three areas.

  • First, we want to help more executives understand the difference between task-based virtual assistance vs. strategic executive assistant support.

  • Second, we’re developing resources under The ProAssisting Academy to help and train our ProAssistants and other EAs eager to work with clients fractionally while growing their skills.

  • Third, we’re exploring ways to serve new market segments while maintaining our quality standards.

We’re not trying to be the biggest. We’re focused on being the best at what we do—connecting exceptional executive assistants with leaders who need top-tier support. When you get the fundamentals right, growth follows naturally.

Closing Thoughts

Making the Inc. 5000 list among the fastest growing companies 2025 has to offer feels incredible. But the real reward comes from the daily impact we see.

When a CEO tells us their ProAssistant saved their sanity during a merger, when a board director manages five board positions seamlessly with their assistant’s help, or when an entrepreneur finally takes a real vacation, it is because they trust their ProAssistant completely.

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey:

  • Our clients who took a chance on a different model

  • Our ProAssistants who bring excellence to their work every day

  • Our partners and advisors who’ve guided us

  • The executive assistant community that continues to elevate this profession
