“I don’t trust myself with payroll”


Payroll has got technical enough that you don't fully trust yourself to get it right, and getting it wrong isn't the kind of mistake you can afford.

This is my specialist ground. Fifteen years of payroll and awards means it's handled properly, not learned on your business.

02.

"It's eating into my evenings"


The work itself is done. It's everything around it, the filing, the follow-ups, the bits that never quite get finished, that keeps creeping into your nights and weekends.

I take the day-to-day off your plate so it stops following you home. You close the laptop at a reasonable hour again.

03.

"There has to be an easier way"


You keep meaning to sort the systems out properly, but there's never a free hour to actually do it. So it stays on the list, week after week.

I build the systems you don't have time to build, so the thing that's been nagging you for months is finally just done.

04.

“Why are there so many emails”


Your inbox has become something you avoid rather than open. You know there's something in there that needs answering, you just can't face finding it.

I take over your email so you can stop living in it, and nothing important slips through while you're not looking.

Hi, I’m Amanda

MEET your BUSINESS SUPPORT PARTNER

Time is a valuable commodity when you’re a business owner. Not only do you need to save your precious time, but you need a competent partner you can trust so you can continue to grow a profitable business. I step into that gap so you can breathe. I’m the person who takes care of the details you don’t have the hours for. Because of my background with complex systems and data, you don't have to micromanage me; you can trust it's being handled properly. I keep your back-end organised from my desk on the Sunshine Coast, giving you back the time and space you've been losing.

Amanda kept our lives, house and business organised and cared for. You are truly fortunate to have the opportunity to have Amanda work for you or your business.
