It’s half past nine on a Tuesday and you’re still doing the invoicing.
Get your evenings back
Most small businesses reach a point where the paperwork outgrows the owner. The usual answer is to hire someone to deal with it.
I build the system that deals with it instead — so when you do take someone on, it’s someone who moves the business forward.
What I do
You already have a way of doing things.
It works, mostly. It lives in a diary, a spreadsheet, a pile of paper and your own head. The trouble is it only works because you’re holding it together.
I build you something that fits the way you already work — bookings, jobs, certificates and invoices in one place, on a phone or a laptop. You put a job in once and it carries through to everything else on its own, instead of being written out four times.
Then I show you how to run it, write it down, and hand it over.
You own it outright. There’s a monthly cost for the software it runs on, paid direct to them — I’ll tell you exactly what that is before we start — but there’s nothing ongoing to me.
A pet crematorium, Highlands
They were about to advertise for an office manager.
Everything was on paper — collections, bookings, certificates, invoices — and the owner was doing it in the evenings. I put a system in.
They’re still hiring. But now it’s someone they can train to do cremations, because the lad doing them was out on collections all day and firing the ovens at nine at night.
Same money. Completely different job.
- The owner has her evenings back.
- She has taken her first holiday since starting the business.
- The vacancy became a skilled role instead of an administrative one.
What it costs
Two days with you. Your process mapped, a real figure for what it’s costing you in hours, and a prioritised list of what to fix. Yours to keep, whether or not you go further.
The system itself. Your data moved across, training for anyone who needs it, and written documentation. You own all of it.
I come back, sort out any drift, find out what you’re doing with your evenings now, and we look at what’s worth doing next. Booked in on the day I hand over.
Fixed prices, agreed before I start. If a job turns out bigger than it looked, that’s my problem, not yours.
Who you would be dealing with
I’m Jen Weston.
Eighteen years in project management, the last seven as a senior IT project manager at Tarmac, most of it spent improving the way large organisations work.
I enjoyed the corporate years. But in a company that size you deliver something and never meet the person it lands on.
I want to spend my time meeting the businesses up here and finding out what they do — and giving people back the hours to get on with the work they actually love.
I’m based in the Highlands and I work with businesses across the region.
The first conversation is free.
It takes about half an hour, there’s no obligation, and I’ll tell you honestly if I don’t think I can help.
