Clancy Sprague — Independent Executive Assistant
Behind every organized business is someone who makes it run.
Calm, capable, behind-the-scenes support for small business owners and founders who are ready to stop drowning in the details — and get back to the work only they can do.
What I do
The behind-the-scenes work, handled.
A short list of things I do exceptionally well — so your inbox is quieter, your vendors are managed, and your numbers actually add up at the end of the month.
Inbox & Operations
I keep your inbox at a manageable zero-ish, your tools talking to each other, and your day-to-day running on rails — scheduling, follow-ups, and the small fires before they spread.
Vendor & Contractor Coordination
From sourcing to follow-through, I manage the people you rely on — booking, briefing, chasing details, and resolving issues — so nothing slips through the cracks.
Event & Logistics Planning
Launches, dinners, pop-ups, off-sites. I build the logistics, manage the budget, and track every moving piece — so the day itself feels effortless to everyone in the room.
Budget & Expense Tracking
Receipts, invoices, reconciliations, and clean reporting. You get clear numbers, fewer surprises, and no end-of-month scramble to figure out where the money went.
How it works
Simple to start. Easy to keep.
We talk it through
A relaxed discovery call to map what's on your plate and where you're losing the most time.
We make a plan
I outline exactly what I'll take off your hands, how we'll work together, and what it costs — no jargon.
I take it from here
You get hours back every week while I keep the details humming quietly in the background.
Who I work with
Small, hands-on businesses where the owner wears every hat.
If you're growing something you care about and the admin is starting to swallow your days, we'll get along well.
E-commerce & boutique brands
Order ops, supplier coordination, and the back-office that keeps the storefront calm.
Coffee shops & restaurants
Vendor management, scheduling, and event logistics that free up the floor.
Jewelry & product designers
Studio admin, fulfillment support, and launch coordination that protects your craft time.
Founders building on Instagram
Inbox triage, DM-to-task handling, and the behind-the-scenes systems your audience never sees.
About me
Hi, I'm Clancy.
For five years I supported leadership at a major media company — managing calendars, budgets across 17 departments, and the kind of day-to-day logistics that keep a fast operation from falling apart. I led a team of assistants, planned hundreds of events, and built the quiet systems that made everyone else's work easier.
Now I bring that same calm to small businesses and founders — the people doing remarkable work who just need someone reliable handling the details behind them. I'm warm, discreet, and a little obsessed with a tidy inbox and a spreadsheet that finally makes sense.
Let's make your business run smoother.
