Meet Steph Gobraiel, your online business manager
Provider of expert business management services and trusted adviser in your business journey
Being a solopreneur can be lonely, especially when things feel out of control. You might try to talk to your partner about your ideas and plans, but they’re not really IN the business with you, so it’s hard to explain. And they’re so busy with their work, you don’t want to burden them with more.
But you need someone to share the mental and strategic load of managing your business. That’s where Steph comes in.
When you work with Steph, you get a strategic partner you can work with to help you manage your business. She’ll look at the bigger picture, find ways to improve your operations and be there as a sounding board and executive assistance to give you confidence in your business decisions and actions.
As a former corporate executive assistant, Steph knows how and when to provide the right support, expertise and guidance to help you shine.
Steph isn’t just a service provider, she’s a trusted business partner and friend dedicated to helping you and your business succeed. Steph provides a supportive and collaborative environment where she’ll get to know you and your unique challenges and aspirations.

I started my business to help women build a working life that works
Like a lot of female-led businesses, I started S38 Business Management because I loved my work, but not the hours it took away from my home life. Becoming a mother made me reassess what success meant to me. Suddenly it wasn’t about long hours and corporate wins. It was about finding a balance between doing the work I loved and having the time and energy I needed to enjoy my young family.
I started S38 Business Management because I knew it was up to me to build a working life that worked for me. And I knew I had the knowledge, skills and expertise to help other women in business do the same.
With more than 15 years in the corporate world, working alongside leaders in accounting, education, finance and retail, I’d become a *darn* good executive assistant. I was their ‘secret agent’ working behind the scenes to help business leaders and owners succeed in their spotlights.
And now, as an OBM, I’m doing the same for women in small business.
As your OBM, I’ll be your sounding board, confidante and trusted business adviser helping to set you and your business up for success.
And I’ll absolutely love seeing you succeed!

Our values
We believe business success is as much about personal growth as it is about business growth. At the core of this philosophy is the knowledge that female founders have incredible potential to thrive in their business and personal lives. By being the CEO of their businesses, women can take control of their future and find a balance between their entrepreneurial pursuits and personal responsibilities.
Our values underpin this philosophy. They help us deliver quality services that have a transformative impact on the lives and businesses of our clients.
When you work with S38 Business Management, you can expect us to bring these values to everything we do.
