As an entrepreneur, you know how valuable time is. Your family demands attention, your business is running, and the balance between them is often difficult to maintain. At The Family Assistant we work daily with busy parents and entrepreneurs who are looking for more structure, peace and overview.
What many business owners do not know is that you can also employ a Family Assistant through your company. This means that a Family Assistant not only supports your family but can also take over tasks within your business. In this blog, we explain how that works and what benefits it offers.
What does a Family Assistant actually do?
A Family Assistant is a professional support person for both the family and the household. She is employed by one family and combines care duties with organizational and practical work. Examples include dropping off and picking up the children, running errands, planning family activities, organizing birthdays and directing household chores.
In addition, a Family Assistant can also help with light business duties, such as scheduling appointments, arranging business trips, doing administrative tasks or organizing events. The result? More peace, structure and time, both at home and within your business.
Why use a Family Assistant for both family and business?
Many business owners choose to employ a Family Assistant precisely because this role is flexible. The work can be completely tailored to what you as a family and business need.
Our Family Assistants work on a customized basis. Do you want support mainly in the household and with the children? Then the focus is on the family. Do you also want help with administrative or organizational tasks? Then the Family Assistant can also be partly used for business purposes.
This hybrid approach is ideal for entrepreneurs who want to combine family and work smoothly. You create peace, overview and continuity both at home and within your company.
The tax benefits of having a Family Assistant employed through your company
When you hire a salaried Family Assistant through your company, in some cases the payroll expenses can be claimed as a business expense. That means they can be tax deductible. You may thereby reduce your taxable profit and thus your company's tax payments.
In addition, as with other employees, you can insure your Family Assistant against disability and benefit from a professional and long-term employment relationship.
We always recommend discussing this with your accountant or tax specialist, so that the construction fits your company structure and complies with all regulations.
How does hiring a Family Assistant through The Family Assistant work?
At The Family Assistant, we always start with a no-obligation introductory meeting. We discuss your wishes and see what the relationship between family work and business support can look like. In this way we ensure that the construction fits your situation well.
We then search our extensive network of screened Family Assistants with experience as a Family Assistant or Personal Assistant. We are looking for someone who is organizationally strong, can work independently and at the same time brings warmth and tranquility to the family.
The result: a professional who provides structure in your household, overview in your calendar and support within your business.
