behind 'Addicted to Admin'

"Helen is nothing short of a miracle! I wouldn’t be without her.​ She supports me both within the businesses that I run, as well as a personal PA helping with all sorts of tasks. She’s so interchangeable and willing to give anything a go which is exactly what I need as my job is very varied. I have struggled with PAs in the past as all they do is typing and travel arrangements, but Helen does accounts, ordering, reports, analysis, meeting minutes, health and safety and a whole other array of job roles (even on the odd occasion DIY) and works autonomously all the time with confidence. Within a business like mine, it is key to be multitasking. Helen is trusted with highly confidential information also. I would highly recommend Helen to anyone whether a large-scale PLC or an individual just looking for a bit of extra support."

"Helen has worked at Drakelow Business Park undertaking various roles for over 20 years.  More recently Helen provided admin support and assisted in general on-site day to day operations.  Helen has a strong work ethic, is highly organised and numerically literate.  A ‘can do’ attitude has made Helen a highly valued member of the asset management team at Drakelow. ​ Helen’s role as a virtual PA working remotely continues to involve assisting with admin, spreadsheet management, financial control and liaising with suppliers.  The transition to working remotely has been seamless and Helen continues to provide an excellent and highly valued service." 

"Working remotely over a secure connection, Helen worked diligently and consistently to deliver the thousands of data entries required and completed the work well ahead of the expected time frame. She was extremely conscientious and regularly kept us updated with her progress. We will be using Helen’s services again and would highly recommend her to other businesses."

"Helen helps me monthly with my receipts, sales invoicing, and bank reconciliations. I’m self-employed and really enjoy the work I do, but the admin side of the business is something I neglected. It would drive my wife crazy that I would avoid the paperwork until last minute or avoid it entirely! It may not help that I am ‘a little’ disorganised too! Helen has tried to help me be more organised and I think I’m getting better – my wife may still disagree! But it is down to Helen’s admin and bookkeeping skills that has made my life a lot easier! Now I literally hand everything over to Helen once a month, receipts, sales information, bank statements – the lot, and she does what she knows best. I don’t need to worry. And when my tax return came along, there wasn’t the usual long list of questions and queries from my accountant. It was bliss! I’d recommend Helen to any sole trader who wants to concentrate on the work rather than the ‘paperwork’. She’s a diamond!"

"Helen has helped me over a few years with a variety of different tasks. She has been able to adapt to working well to suit my needs and has built up systems around my requirements which has been extremely helpful. She is a great communicator and does this with ease, as in a business this is an essential part of working together. Thank you Helen, you have always been a valuable member of the team."

"I have been so privileged to have worked with Helen over the last 12 months and continue to work with her regularly. Our relationship has blossomed as we have got to know one another and Helen’s intuition of how I like things to be done is on point. Unlike other employees, consultants and people I have worked with, Helen is very capable at taking on feedback which is so important when trying to get things to a high standard. She gives 100% to everything she does and is very conscientious. I trust Helen with very sensitive information both within my business and personal life as she works for me in both capacities. I would highly recommend Helen for a wide range of PA, administration and bookkeeping services as she has a wide range of skills and is very adaptable and interchangeable."

"I have known Helen for over a year and I am very impressed with her work ethic. So much so I have asked Helen for her expert help myself as I've total confidence in her. I find Helen extremely approachable and understanding. I don't find computers easy to use at present but I'm learning with Helen's guidance. I am really enjoying working with Helen and can highly recommend her."

"Helen is a lovely person to work with.  Professional, a safe pair of hands, and not afraid to ask questions.  Very trustworthy and a pleasure to work with."

"You have been great and a real help. Everything has been so easy with you too. Thank you for all that you do!"

"Helen’s work ethic is second to none!! She is totally dedicated, which makes her super skilled at what she does. The organisation and attention to detail she brings, can help anyone bring their admin tasks into order. Both inside and even outside of the office, with those mundane life admin tasks that the rest of us dread to sort, she relishes in and isn’t afraid to get stuck in!! Highly recommend "

"Helen has assisted me with administrating my new business – bookkeeping and accounting. I did not understand what I was doing until I found the services of Addicted to Admin. Helen provided excellent service, provided a depth of information, updated my books and left me feeling I was in control of all my administration. Helen enjoyed getting to know my business, and I highly recommend her services."
