Empowering business owners to be the CEO their small business needs them to be
Virtual business management support to help you succeed in business and in life.
Online business management for service-based business owners who want to take charge of their business
Our virtual business management services will help you take control of your business and still have the time and energy you need to take care of yourself and your loved ones.
The mental load of running a business is heavy. When you combine that with the mental load of managing a family or caring for a loved one, as so many women in business do, it can be overwhelming.
As your online business manager (OBM), we’ll be there to share the load and help you plan, delegate and strategise. We’ll help you shape the future of your business so you can achieve your professional goals without sacrificing your family needs.
Whether you’re a business of one, building a mini empire, or need support managing your established small business, we’ll help you pull yourself out of the trenches and take your rightful place as the leader your business needs you to be.
We can help you:

Take a break

Whether you’re a busy business of one, actively building a mini empire, or need tailored support to manage your established small business we’re here to help you achieve your goals and get your life back.
