HI. I'M ALI
Your Virtual Business Assistant
With over 30 years’ experience in project management, marketing and more, I’ve left the corporate world to help start-ups and small business owners get stuff done.
As your right-hand (wo)man I can help you with your busy schedule, key projects and scaleup plans to realise your growth ambitions.
HELPING YOUR BUSINESS MOVE FORWARD
As a successful small business owner your most precious commodity is time.
I’m guessing every day is a busy day, with an ever-growing and possibly overwhelming ‘To Do’ list, and you have reached ‘ninja level’ in keeping everything ticking over.
But what if you had time to focus on what really matters to you: time to pursue your strategic plans to realise the full potential of your business, or simply more time to spend on hobbies or with friends and family?
That’s where I can help you. I’m dedicated to alleviating some of the stress you’re under, whether you want to handoff some day-to-day business admin, get that important project off the ground (finally!), or plan for future business growth.
I’m the safe pair of hands giving you peace of mind and time to focus on the important stuff.
Another member of your team, either hidden behind the scenes or front of house..… when you need me.
