Why Us?

Traditional Consultancy vs. Us

Many business problems can be resolved in less than 2 weeks, with 1-2 days per month maintenance afterwards. Traditional firms won't send staff for such limited hours. They often upsell to create billable hours. We stay small to maintain work-life balance and focus on quality solutions.

Full-Time Hire vs. Us

There simply isn't enough ongoing work to justify a full-time position. Our one-time fix + retainer model costs significantly less and requires zero training investment.

IT Restrictions

Company policy prevents new software installations? No problem. We work exclusively within the Microsoft Office 365 ecosystem using tools your team already has. No bespoke systems, no costly add-ons, no installation headaches.

Transparent Pricing

Simple, straightforward pricing based on scope and time investment.

Most Common Business Scenarios We Solve

Scenario 1: Urgent work pops up and your team has zero capacity

We're the everything assistant you need.

Scenario 2: You need someone to independently manage workstreams without handholding

10+ years experience in the baptism of fire

Scenario 3: Reporting bottleneck

Management requires monthly reports with actionable insights, but your team is paid to deliver, not build reports.

Scenario 4: Data overwhelm

You assembled a brilliant team to deliver business requirements, but digital workloads have ballooned. Your team is firefighting data errors instead of delivering core deliverables. We take the data burden off your team.

Scenario 5: Manual, repetitive timewasters

Monthly requirements arrive from other teams or clients requiring manual transformation. A valuable team member must shift focus from important work to process the data. We automate this recurring task.

Scenario 6: Knowledge silos

One staff member has built an overcomplicated process only they understand. When they're absent or leave, the entire operation fails. We document, simplify, and automate so the business doesn't depend on one person.
