Service 01 · Business admin & operations
The inbox, the payroll, the suppliers, the paperwork - the operational load that lands on your desk because it's nobody else's job. Hand it to me, and get your working day back.
People and payroll, diary and correspondence, suppliers, day-to-day operations and records - done properly, on time, and without you needing to chase.
New starter + that overdue order
YouMon 9:12am
Hi Kirsten - new starter on Monday. Can you get her employment agreement out, set her up in payroll, and chase the supplier on that overdue order?
Kirsten WinterWed 2:40pm
All done :) Agreement signed and filed, she's set up in payroll for Monday, and the supplier has confirmed delivery on Thursday.

Consider it done01What this covers
Five areas of day-to-day work, all done by me, inside your own systems. Here's what each one includes.
Your team paid right, and their paperwork in order.
Pays accurate and on time, and new starters set up properly from day one.
Your inbox under control, and your diary sorted.
You show up to what matters - everything around it is handled.
Orders on track, and suppliers looked after.
You stop being chased by suppliers - I do the chasing instead.
The week runs smoothly, and nothing sits waiting on you.
You lead the organisation, instead of firefighting it.
The right document, in the right place, every time.
Anything you need is found in seconds - and renewals never catch you out.
Start with one area, or hand over all five. Nothing is farmed out to a stranger, and nothing is left half-done.
02What it looks like in your organisation
You're running the work that matters. But between that and keeping the lights on sits a long list of operational tasks that land on you - not because they're your job, but because they're nobody else's.
The email waiting on a reply. The onboarding paperwork that hasn't been done. The scheduling that takes three emails when it should take one. Each one pulls you out of your day, and your focus goes with it.

03How it works
No instruction manuals, no status meetings, no one to manage. Just a clear hand-off and finished work coming back.
You 01
Tell me the outcome you need and share the context. I ask a few targeted questions up front, then take it from there.
Me 02
I work independently inside your own systems. No chasing, no status requests, and no twenty questions for every task.
Done 03
Completed work, delivered reliably and on time. Anything that needs your decision is flagged early - never at the last minute.
Answers and finished work, not twenty questions.
See the two ways to work ↓04Two ways to work
Flexible hours when the work varies, or a monthly retainer when the same work comes round every cycle. We'll settle the right fit on our call.
When the work varies
Price on application · plus GST
Best for occasional or changeable admin. You get me, for whatever needs doing - no fixed scope to squeeze the job into.
When the work repeats
Price on application · plus GST
Best for the admin that comes round every month. A set block of hours at a fixed fee - the same trusted hands, priced predictably, month after month.
This is bespoke admin work, so pricing is scoped to your needs - no rigid packages, no paying for hours you won't use. Anything outside an agreed retainer is quoted and approved first. All prices in NZD plus GST.
05Where this fits
The day-to-day looks different in a small business, an early learning centre, a society or a board. I've done it in all four.
Inbox, suppliers, employment paperwork and payroll for lean businesses that don't need another salary on the books.

A typical month, handed off
Pays processed and payday filing lodged. New starters set up before their first day. The inbox triaged, meetings booked and suppliers followed up. Contracts, records and templates kept where anyone can find them - and anything that needs your decision flagged early.
Talk through your month →07Common questions
Straight answers to what most people want to know before we talk.
Yes. I run pays in iPayroll or your existing payroll system, keep leave records up to date, and make sure payday filing with Inland Revenue is lodged on time, every cycle.
Yes. I prepare and administer employment agreements, onboarding paperwork, staff records and leave, so everything is accurate and current. If a tricky employment issue comes up, I'll flag it early so you can get the right specialist advice.
Absolutely. I work alongside the advisers you already have - handling the day-to-day admin so their time goes on the specialist work you pay them for. Everything stays in your own systems, so hand-offs between us are simple.
Yes - that's exactly what hourly support is for. I work through it in order of priority, keep you across anything that needs your decision, and once you're up to date we can decide whether an ongoing retainer makes sense.
Yes. Payroll, HR, suppliers, inbox and contracts can all sit in one engagement, with one person across all of it. Most people start with one or two areas and add more over time - there's no minimum scope.
