Where an assistant helps

Back office work is steady and repetitive, and it grows with the business. One assigned person who learns your process can take it off your team’s desk and keep it consistent week to week.

What to tell us

  • The tasks, with examples of the files or screens involved
  • The systems they will use, such as your CRM, ERP or spreadsheet tools
  • Volume per day or week, and the turnaround you need
  • Hours and time zone overlap with your team
  • Any data protection rules the work must follow

Getting started

Write down the steps of each task, or record a short screen video. The assistant works from that guide, and you check the first batches before the work runs on its own.
