Additional Information

I've had my own business for 19 years, and I'm looking for a change. I'd love to work in a fun environment with good people. First was a bookkeeping business when I was 15 as a school side job which quickly turned into a full-time commitment when I left school.
I've been doing office administration, bookkeeping, and managing client relations for 19 years. I've also been in executive support and project management roles since my first office jobs over 15 years ago.
Though my resume shows the many different business interests I've had over the years, my role has remained fairly similar. Office admin, business accounts, project management, client relationships, public speaking, and workshop facilitation.
I love supporting the people who make everything happen. Making sure that they have everything they need to keep the machine going, onward and upward.
I'm happy to have an initial phone call or coffee to see if we're a good fit for each other.
