How it works

Working with Simply Assist is simple.

Initial conversation

I begin with a discovery call to understand your business, the type of support you need, your priorities and how you like work. We will discuss the retainer packages available and if you feel these are not right for you then we can talk about ad-hoc support.

Tailored support

Once confirmed you will be asked to complete an onboarding form to enable me to understand your systems and expectations. Tasks and priorities are agreed so that any administrative and bookkeeping support can be provided in a way that fits seamlessly with your business. Onboarding will also include gaining access to required accounts and systems and confirming the best route of communication.

Included in our retainer packages is a short settling in period so your support starts smoothly.

Ongoing assistance

I prioritise your tasks as agreed. I manage tasks efficiently, helping you stay organised and freeing up valuable time. With retainer clients, time is booked in monthly to secure availability and consistency.

Ad-hoc work is completed as a one-off task and is subject to availability.

Gemma has taken a huge amount of day-to-day admin off my plate. From managing my diary to keeping documents organised and helping with bookkeeping, everything is handled efficiently and professionally. It has given me back time to focus on my clients and the parts of the business that really matter.
