WHO THIS IS FOR

Sole traders and small business owners (under 10 employees) across the UK who need practical admin support, whether that’s taking it off your plate completely, working through it together, or getting it done with accountability.

However, although I mostly work with neurodivergent, introverted and chronically ill business owners in the UK, having efficient systems is simply common sense. Why would you want to do more admin, just because you don’t fit into any of the above categories?

This is for you if:

  • Admin is overwhelming and you need help getting it under control
  • You can’t justify (or don’t want) an employee but need consistent support
  • You work better with structure and accountability
  • You want flexible options that fit how you actually work
  • You value honest, straightforward communication
  • You’re neurodivergent , introverted, chronically ill, or prefer working with someone who understands different working styles

This is not about pigeonholing people it’s about whether you’re a sole trader, sole director, or running a small team and you need practical admin support that actually fits your life..

WHY WORK WITH ME

I’m an introverted autistic person with ADHD and a chronic health condition: I started my business because traditional employment wasn’t sustainable. I’ve spent years developing approaches that minimise effort while maximising output. Remote working, written communication, clear processes, automated systems – these aren’t personal preferences, they’re what I need to run a sustainable business.

I’ve been running businesses for over 15 years: I used to do everything manually until I realised there was a more efficient way to manage the admin tasks that actually matter. Combined with 25+ years in office management and administration, I know what actually works – not just in theory, but in practice too.

I find new ways to do things: I inherently look for ways to improve efficiency. Whether that’s transitioning from manual processes to automated systems, or questioning “why do we do it this way?” and exploring whether there’s a better approach for your business.

I work in the background: I thrive working behind the scenes. While you focus on your clients and what you do best, I’ll work away on your business operations, keeping everything running smoothly.

Neurodivergent perspective: Being AuDHD (autistic with ADHD) means I observe and navigate the business world differently. I often present solutions in ways people haven’t considered, with methodical approaches and genuine attention to detail.

Hampshire based and fully remote: Although I am based in Fareham, Hampshire, I work with sole traders and small businesses across the UK via email and Teams. No need to provide me with workspace or equipment!
