What can I do for you?  Catch up your bookkeeping/data entry, file that pile, organize those papers, prioritize that to-do list. In short, make your work more fun, by taking care of all that paper work, so you can focus on the big stuff!  I can also be a brainstorming partner and a small group facilitator to help you corral ideas and create frameworks for moving forward.

I provide a suite of office services to small businesses, non-profits, and home offices. I can support your business in 4 ways:

o Clerical/Field Support - I can manage the paper flow in your office, the documents and reports, the correspondence, the communication (phone or email), the bookkeeping, and support you in the field collecting data, taking notes or photographs, and more.

o Computer Support - I can keep your computers running smoothly, updating software and hardware and troubleshooting day-to-day problems, and managing Tech Support.

o Meeting Facilitation - I can work with your staff or board or other group to forge new ideas, frame the work of the business, or manage regular meetings.

o On Call - I am on call to your business hourly, daily, weekly, or on a project-by-project basis.

I am interested in creating efficient systems, and organizing for a sense of ease and flow. I enjoy working with people one-on-one or in small groups.  It is very satisfying for me to help you define and refine your business, organize your office, handle your finances, find solutions to annoying problems, and play.  I work well on my own, and delight in a good team atmosphere.
