Operations support for small businesses

You've built something worth showing up for. I help you build the systems, processes, and support behind it so you can focus on the work you actually love.

MY SERVICES

    Need help with a website refresh? Or automating your processes? I offer project work with a defined scope and clear outcome.

About Me

Black and white photo of a woman smiling, with wavy hair and nose piercing, wearing a embroidered blouse.

I'm Annie, an operations and business support professional with a background in supply chain, logistics, and cross-functional ops. I left a corporate operations manager role to do the work for the people I actually wanted to help. I work with founder-led small businesses where the owner is the expert in their craft, and needs someone reliable to handle the business side.

I'm not a coach. I'm not a consultant who hands you a deck and disappears. I roll up my sleeves, learn your business, and build things that actually work for you, whether that's a client process, a launch plan, or the back-end systems that make your day-to-day easier.

Who I Work With

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • You're great at what you do, but the back end of your business is a mess you keep meaning to sort out

  • You have ideas and momentum, but no real system holding it all together

  • You're a one-person show doing five people's jobs, and it's starting to show

  • You're launching something new and you want to do it right the first time

  • You've outgrown how you started, and you're not sure what the next version of your business looks like yet

Recognize yourself in any of this? Let's fix it.

Testimonials

  • When I was starting my business, I felt like I knew a fair amount but that there were gaps in my knowledge around the operational side of running my business. Working with Annie opened my eyes to things I would never thought of, but her wealth of knowledge and efficient execution of tasks meant I didn’t have to worry about it for long! Her no-stress, straight-to-it approach made me feel reassured that my business was in great hands. Annie helped me create systems that worked and saved me time that could be spent elsewhere on the side of my business that I thrive in. Annie’s suggestions from how to build a website to how to track spending has meant that my mind has felt clearer and has helped propel my business forward faster than I could have hoped for. She’s worth her weight in gold! I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and couldn’t recommend her more

    Founder at Hope. Joy. Thrive

  • Annie was instrumental in getting Orlaya off the ground. She built my website from scratch, set up systems and files that made the admin side of running a business actually manageable, and checked in regularly to keep me accountable (which made a bigger difference than I expected). What stood out most was how quickly she understood the style and brand I was going for. I didn't have to over-explain it. She was honest, intuitive, and the work she delivered gave me a real jumping-off point to start the business with confidence. If you're in the early stages of building something and need someone who can hit the ground running, Annie's the one.
