How do we get started working together?+

Everything starts with a discovery call, where we'll talk about your business, your current challenges and the support you're looking for. If we're a good fit, I'll put together a tailored proposal outlining how we can work together, followed by a straightforward onboarding process designed to get you up and running as smoothly as possible.

What tools and software do you work with?+

I'm experienced with a wide range of business, operations and collaboration tools, including:

  • Project & Operations: ClickUp, Monday.com and Notion
  • Communication: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet
  • Productivity: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and SharePoint
  • Business & Administration: Stripe, DocuSign and Adobe Acrobat Pro
  • Design & Marketing: Canva and Mailchimp
  • Websites & Healthcare: Squarespace and Halaxy
  • Communication & Training: Loom

I'm also comfortable learning new software quickly and am always happy to work within the systems and processes your business already uses.

How do we communicate day-to-day?+

Every business works differently, so I'll adapt to your preferred way of communicating. Whether that's email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp or your existing project management system, I'll integrate into your workflow and provide regular updates, clear communication and complete visibility over ongoing work.

Is my business information kept confidential?+

Yes. Protecting your business information is a priority. I handle all client information with complete discretion and professionalism, and I'm happy to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) where required. You can feel confident that your data, processes and internal documentation will always be treated as strictly confidential.

How does invoicing and payment work?+

To keep everything simple and transparent, payment terms vary depending on the type of support you choose.

  • Monthly retainers: Invoiced monthly in advance to reserve your dedicated support hours.
  • Hourly support: An upfront payment equivalent to three hours is required before work begins. Any additional hours are invoiced in line with our agreed terms.
  • Project-based work: Projects are typically invoiced with a 50% deposit before work begins and the remaining balance due on completion. For larger projects, payment may be split into agreed milestones.

All payment terms will be clearly outlined in your proposal before any work begins, so you'll always know exactly what to expect.

Is there a minimum commitment?+

It depends on the type of support you choose.

  • Hourly support: A minimum commitment of 3 hours per month applies, with payment made in advance.
  • Project-based work: The commitment lasts for the duration of the agreed project.
  • Monthly retainers: Retainers operate on a rolling monthly basis and are billed in advance to reserve your dedicated support hours.

If you're unsure which option is the best fit, we'll discuss your requirements during your discovery call and find the level of support that works for your business.

Can I change or pause my support later on?+

Absolutely. Business needs evolve, and your support can evolve with them. Any changes to your monthly retainer—including increasing, reducing, pausing or ending your support—simply require 30 days' written notice. Requests to increase your retainer are subject to availability, and if you decide to return in the future, I'll always do my best to accommodate you.

Do you work with international clients?+

Absolutely. I work remotely with businesses worldwide and regularly collaborate across different time zones. Whether you're based in the UK or overseas, I'll adapt to your preferred way of working to ensure communication is seamless and support fits around your business.

How quickly can we get started?+

Every project begins with a tailored onboarding process to ensure I understand your business, systems and priorities. Your start date will be confirmed before you commit, and I'll always keep you informed of my current availability so you know exactly what to expect.

What if I'm not sure which option is right for me?+

That's exactly what the discovery call is for. We'll discuss your business, your priorities and the support you're looking for, then I'll recommend the service that's the best fit for where you are right now — so you can move forward with confidence.

Let's find the right level of support for your business.

Whether you're looking for flexible monthly support or help with a specific project, I'd love to learn more about your business and discuss how we can work together.
