Independent governance, compliance and admin support

The back-office work is eating the time you'd rather spend elsewhere.

The admin, the books, the filings, the minutes - it all has to be done, and it all lands on you. But every hour spent on it is an hour not spent leading, growing, or simply getting your own work done.

Hand it to an experienced independent specialist, and get that time - and your focus - back.

Sound Familiar?

Every hour on admin, is an hour not spent leading and growing.

The admin, the books, the filings, the minutes - it all has to be done, and it all lands on you. But every hour spent on it is an hour not spent leading, growing, or simply getting your own work done.

Hand it to an experienced independent specialist, and get that time - and your focus - back.

Your best hours, gone

The work you actually want to be doing - leading, growing, serving members - gets squeezed out by reconciliations, filings and chasing action items.

Quiet compliance risk

A missed filing, a mishandled record, an out-of-date template - exposure to MBIE, IRD or the Inc. Societies Act builds silently.

The false economies

A full-time hire you don't need. An offshore VA you have to manage. A consultant who bills for every call. None of it fits lean.

There's a smarter option than another salary - or another thing on your to-do list.

The difference

Hand it off, and consider it done. No instruction manuals. No twenty questions. No meter running - just answers and finished work, month in, month out.

I take real ownership of the back-office work so you can get back to the part of the business only you can do.

What I take off your plate

Four kinds of work.

One dependable pair of hands.

Engage the one that's landing hardest, or hand over the lot.

Each has its own page with the full detail and real client examples.

01

Business admin & operations

If your inbox and to-do list run your day…

The endless small tasks are the ones that quietly drain your week - and the first things to slip when you get busy. Reliable outsourced business admin support means the day-to-day just runs, so you can lead instead of firefight.

  • Reclaim your week - offload the operations and admin that eat your time
  • Nothing slips - client and supplier admin handled reliably and on time
  • Stay on top of your inbox - workflow and scheduling kept moving daily
  • Loose ends closed off - dependable follow-through you never have to chase

02

Financial administration

If the books are always one step behind…

When the numbers are late or messy, every decision is a guess and every audit is a scramble. Outsourced bookkeeping and payroll keeps your Xero clean and current - so your finances are one thing you never have to worry about.

  • Always know where you stand - Xero bookkeeping reconciled and up to date
  • Get paid, pay on time - accounts payable and receivable stay on track
  • Payroll sorted - accurate iPayroll and payday filing, every pay run
  • Audit-ready all year - clean records and clear monthly reporting
See how it works
03

Compliance & governance

If filings and board papers are a constant worry…

Compliance is invisible until it goes wrong - then it's directors' liability and a scramble before an audit. Outsourced governance and board secretary support keeps every filing, register and minute current and correct, so you're protected without lifting a finger.

  • Protect your organisation - statutory filings and registers kept current
  • Walk into meetings prepared - agendas and board packs ready early
  • Decisions that stick - accurate minutes and clear action tracking
  • Stay compliant with NZ law - Incorporated Societies Act 2022 support
See how it works
04

Systems & documentation

If it all lives in your head…

When the knowledge lives only in your head, the business can't run without you - and can't grow past you. Practical process documentation and simple working systems turn that chaos into something repeatable, so the work carries on no matter who's away.

  • Free yourself from the detail - get what's in your head out and documented
  • Work that runs without you - clear SOPs and process documentation
  • Onboard and hand over easily - simple templates anyone can follow
  • Build to grow - working systems set up to scale with you

Before You Book

The things people ask first.

Absolutely - most people do. Start with the area landing hardest, say financial admin, and add others as the pressure shifts. Others hand over the full back office from day one. We'll scope it on the call.
This is bespoke work, so pricing is scoped to your needs - no rigid packages. You choose flexible hourly support or a fixed monthly retainer, so you can budget with confidence. Nothing out of scope is ever billed by surprise.
Very little - that's the point. You don't write instruction manuals or SOPs. I review what exists, ask a few targeted questions, and take ownership from there. Hand over the keys, tell me the outcome, and consider it done.
Both, mostly remote. I'm in Te Puke and work across the Bay of Plenty, with most work done remotely inside your own systems - and onsite when it counts, like a key board meeting or AGM. I also support organisations remotely right across New Zealand.
Xero, iPayroll, Microsoft 365, Google Drive, Infocare, FG Funnels, Canva and AI tools among them - always inside your own accounts. If you use something I don't already know, it's one I'll learn on the job, at no cost to you.
