When admin chaos is slowing everything down
Let's bring admin systems that work for you - not against you!
The office admin and organisation side of a business is not everyone’s cup of tea. The ‘office’ may not be your idea of heaven!
When your admin is chaotic, your head is too. Too many tabs open. Too many processes that don’t quite work. Too many “I’ll deal with that later” tasks piling up. Instead of feeling in control of your workday, you’re carrying everything mentally, trying to remember deadlines, track follow-ups, and trying to hold systems together that were never designed to scale with your business.
This isn’t a productivity problem. It’s an ‘office admin and organisation’ problem.

frequently asked questions
Outsourcing admin work can be more flexible and cost-effective than hiring a full-time assistant. You get professional support tailored to your business needs, without the overheads of a permanent employee. It also allows you to scale support up or down as required, while keeping your office running smoothly and efficiently.
Hiring someone for office organisation saves you time, reduces stress, and improves efficiency. Your systems, files, and processes are streamlined, allowing you and your team to work more productively.
You also gain peace of mind knowing your business admin is accurate, organised, and reliable.
An office admin service can cover a wide range of tasks, tailored to your business needs. This includes managing emails, scheduling appointments, organising files and documents, preparing reports, data entry, and general office organisation. Essentially, I handle the day-to-day administrative tasks so your business runs smoothly and efficiently.
Yes! I can work with you entirely remotely, on-site at your office, or a combination of both, whatever best suits you best. Remote support is perfect for digital organisation and system setup, while in-person work can be helpful for physical files and office layouts.
Absolutely. I’ll assess your current setup and optimise it, keeping what works and improving what doesn’t. The aim is to make your systems simpler, not to start from scratch unnecessarily.
My current rates typically range from £26.50 to £30.00 per hour, depending on the work required. All fees and any expenses are agreed in advance for complete transparency.
I usually charge hourly, though this can be adjusted depending on your specific needs or the type of project.
To keep contracts current and avoid renegotiation each year, my contracts include an annual price increase of 2%, effective on the first Monday after the start of the new tax year.
This ensures continuity while keeping any increase gradual and manageable.
Every business is different. Some areas can be streamlined quickly, while others may need more planning and phased implementation. I’ll give an estimated timeline after understanding your specific workflows.
Yes. I work across both digital and physical environments, organising files, documents, folders, and even shared drives so that everything is easy to find and maintain.
Only as much as needed. My goal is to make systems that fit your natural workflow, not force you into a rigid process. Small changes can make a huge difference in efficiency.
Definitely. I can provide simple guides, training, and support so your team can follow the new workflows and maintain the organisation long-term.
Systems should evolve with your business. I offer ongoing support and tweaks to ensure workflows remain efficient as your needs change.
I observe, ask questions, and map out current processes to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies. Then I recommend practical solutions tailored to your business.
Yes. Organised workflows, clear processes, and proper filing systems dramatically reduce mistakes, overlooked deadlines, and duplicated effort.
Yes I can do both. I can set up systems and provide one-off organisation projects, or continue with ongoing admin support to maintain and optimise your office workflow.
Let's work together - the next steps
-
Initial Consultation
Think of this as a chat over a coffee. We’ll talk through your workflow, priorities, and the challenges you’re currently facing. This gives me the opportunity to understand your needs properly and assess how I can best support you. There’s no charge for the initial consultation. It’s important that we’re both confident the support I can offer will be a good fit and genuinely helpful before moving forward.
-
The Agreement
Once we’ve confirmed we’re a good fit, we formalise the arrangement with a contract and a clear overview of your tailored service. This will also outline rates, invoicing, and the tasks I’ll be handling on your behalf
-
Ongoing support
The actual work: I provide day-to-day assistance with regular check-ins and updates. Open communication ensures nothing slips through the cracks, so your tasks, calendar, and priorities stay on track.
-
Flexible adjustments
As your business and priorities evolve, my support adapts with you — not the other way around. If needed, we can make small adjustments to the contract to ensure your workflow remains seamless and consistent.
