Get Back to Working On Your Business. Or Reclaim Your Life.
Most business owners are stuck working in their business when they'd rather be working on it — or not working at all. Hand the admin to your onshore virtual business manager and take that time back, on your terms.
Book a Quick ChatManagement-Level Support for Service Businesses
I specialise in supporting accountants, financial advisers and lawyers — but if you're running any service business and drowning in the details of keeping it running, we're probably a good fit.
Accountants
Client admin, deadline tracking and the operational load around tax time.
Financial Advisers
Compliance-aware support for the admin behind every client relationship.
Lawyers
Practice operations handled with the discretion this work requires.
Other Service Businesses
Coaches, consultants and agency owners who need a second set of hands at management level.
Quality Support, Same Backyard
You could send the work offshore. Here's what you get when you keep it local instead.
Same Timezone
Real-time replies, no overnight handoffs, no waiting until tomorrow for an answer.
One Rate, Fully Covered
$75/hr, all in. It covers my 12% super, PAYG tax, business costs and leave — none of it lands on you.
I Bring My Own Kit
My own equipment, my own systems. No employment relationship, no onboarding overhead.
Task-Based, Not Roster-Based
No 40-hour minimum. No tasks, no charge. Steady flow of work? We set up a retainer.
Onshore vs. Offshore VA
A quick side-by-side
| Working With Me | Typical Offshore VA | |
|---|---|---|
| Timezone overlap | Full overlap | Limited / none |
| Weekly commitment | Task by task | Often 40 hrs min. |
| No work available? | You're not charged | Usually still billed |
Support that fits your business, not the other way around
From first chat to ongoing partnership, here's exactly how working together looks — no jargon, no surprises.
Quick Chat
We talk through what's on your plate and where you actually need help.
Sign & Set Terms
A simple independent contractor agreement. You choose your payment frequency and your monthly hour cap.
Build Our Stack
We set up the tools and systems we'll collaborate in — built around what already works for you.
Work Begins
We start on the date that suits you. Work is prioritised by your deadlines, not first-come-first-served.
Flexible, Always
Scale hours up or down as you need. Cancel anytime with two weeks' notice.
Requests outside business hours are actioned during business hours. Urgent weekend work is welcome — it's just billed at weekend rates.
I work efficiently, but I work with other clients too. Tell me your deadline and I'll prioritise accordingly — no chasing required.
Cancel any time with two weeks' notice to wrap up outstanding work cleanly. No long contracts, no exit fees.
What Clients Say
Shelley is an absolute god send for my business, she has been instrumental in getting the back office up and running smoothly while I continue to focus on my clients. She is my tech guru and my sounding board when I need to think out loud. She has a can do attitude that gives me a sense of comfort and calmness when business tasks are all requiring my attention straight away and most importantly she holds me to account to make sure I'm achieving the goals I have set for the business. I could not do what I do without Shel!
Shelley has become an integral partner and adviser for me and my budding business. She makes establishing a website presence easy, consulting, negotiating and most importantly teaching you along the way. The support is incredible and I honestly couldn't do my job without her! Her experience across many fields and personalised assistance make her invaluable. I recommend Shelley to anyone who needs help with anything business related.
Shelley has been integral to the development of Event Law. Her knowledge of systems, processes and workflow has enabled my business to transition to a more automated, flowing organisation. She is one of life's true all-rounders.
Shelley has made my business run so much smoother. My request was that I needed it to be simple and straightforward, so that's exactly what she has done for me, with the added bonus of making everything look super professional. Shelley always gets back to me super quickly when I can't figure out how to do something and she is awesome at simplifying the process. I highly recommend Shelley to anyone wanting to make their business run smoother and have more time to focus on hitting their goals.
Before You Book
What tools do we collaborate in?
Whatever you're already using. Part of onboarding is setting up our shared "stack" around your existing systems — I fit into your workflow rather than asking you to learn a new one.
How do you handle confidential information?
Discretion is part of the job, especially working with accountants, advisers and lawyers. Confidentiality terms are set out clearly in our contractor agreement before any work begins.
What if I need more hours some months?
Your hour cap is a ceiling, not a rigid weekly quota — if a busier month comes up, we simply talk about adjusting it. If your workload is consistently high, a retainer might suit you better.
Is there a minimum contract length?
No. Work starts on the date that suits you and can be cancelled any time, with two weeks' notice to wrap up outstanding work.
What if I'm not sure how many hours I need?
Totally normal. We'll talk it through on our first chat and land on a sensible starting cap — it's easy to adjust once we know what your workload actually looks like.
