What I do
I design simple solutions for small businesses and sole traders — practical tools and systems that make everyday tasks easier to organise and manage. This can include spreadsheets for financial tracking, generating quotes and invoices, recording client lists and managing staff rotas. I can also help organise information, improve existing processes or create something completely new where a business needs it. Each solution is designed around the way your business actually works, rather than using a one-size-fits-all system.
The aim is simply to make the day-to-day running of your small business a little easier and more effective. You might not need an expensive software solution but you might have out grown your current way of working.
How I can help
Different businesses have different needs, but here is some example of how I can help:
A childminder might need a simple way to keep track of bookings, parent payments, funded hours and expenses.
A cake maker might need to manage orders, deposits, customer details or work out the the costs and profitability of each cake.
An electrician or plumber might need a better way to organise jobs, create quotes and keep track of materials and payments.
A hairdresser might want to keep client information organised and understand where their income and costs are coming from.
A landlord might need a straightforward system for keeping track of properties, rental income, expenses and maintenance.
A cleaner, gardener, photographer, tutor or other small business might need help organising clients, schedules, jobs, payments or other information.
These are all things that can be made much easier with a well-designed spreadsheet or simple system built around the way the business actually operates.
