Based in the Philippines. Working US, Australian or Gulf business hours.
Services & rates
I learn how your business actually runs before I change anything. Then I take the work off your plate and make it better, week by week. Less chasing for you. Clear ownership for the work.
What I take off your plate
01
Inbox, meetings and follow-ups piling up? I keep your week organised and chase the actions, so nothing waits on you.
02
Hiring stuck in spreadsheets and chat threads? I keep every candidate moving, from first contact to day one.
03
Same task, every week, done by hand? I turn it into a process your team can see, run and hand over.
US
I work US business hours, Eastern to Pacific. Calls, handovers and quick decisions happen live, in your working day, and you pay in USD.
Best fit for founder support, follow-ups, hiring admin and simple systems.
AU
I work Australian business hours, AEST or AEDT. Calls, handovers and quick decisions happen live, in your working day.
Best fit for founder support, recruitment operations and process ownership.
UAE
My most recent work was remote recruitment operations for a Dubai-based group, with international teams. For Gulf teams, I work Gulf business hours (GST).
Best fit for executive coordination, recruitment operations and Microsoft 365 workflows.
Somewhere else? I’ve supported a New Zealand client part-time and fully remote for four years. Working hours are agreed up front.
First 90 days
I don’t automate what I don’t understand. And I don’t ask for more ownership than I’ve earned.
Days 1–15. Take the daily admin off your plate from day one, while I learn your priorities, people, tools and the workarounds nobody wrote down.
Days 16–30. Set owners, statuses, naming and handoffs. One place the team can trust.
Days 31–60. Run the agreed work every week, report in writing and close loops before you have to chase.
Days 61–90. Remove repeat friction, document what matters and automate the steps that are stable.

Start with the hours you need across agreed executive, recruitment and operations work.
Best when recurring work needs one clear owner.
Fixed price quoted by scope
One defined workflow, built, documented and handed over. Quoted once we’ve mapped it together.
Best when the problem is specific and your team can run it after delivery.
Full-time? 40 hours a week comes to about AUD 2,600USD 2,600 a month. You can also start part-time and add hours as the role grows. Need one clear system? I’ll quote a fixed price after we map the scope. You work with me directly, so there are no agency fees.

Practical details
The questions clients ask before hiring someone remote, answered up front.
The honest part
Company direction, money, key relationships and final hiring calls stay with you.
I organise the information, flag the open questions and chase the follow-through once you’ve decided.
I build low-code workflows inside Microsoft 365. Custom software, legal work and financial modelling belong with a specialist. If you need one, I’ll tell you.
Tools I work in
Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Excel, Word, Forms and Power Automate), Google Sheets, ClickUp, Asana, DocuSign, LinkedIn Recruiter and ATS platforms.
Using something else? I learn your tools before I suggest changing them.
Contact
Bring it to a short call. I’ll tell you honestly whether it needs a quick fix, steady ownership or a proper build.
