If you’re running a small business or personal brand, chances are your to-do list is never-ending. Admin tasks pile up, emails go unanswered, receipts float around in random drawers, and suddenly you’ve spent your entire day working in the business instead of on it.
Sound familiar?
The good news? You don’t have to do it all yourself.
Here are 5 admin tasks you can hand off right now to reclaim your time and sanity.
And yes, I can help with all of them.
1. Inbox management (aka the dreaded emails)
Your inbox should be a tool, not a source of stress. I can:
Set up filters and folders
Unsubscribe you from junk
Flag or respond to messages on your behalf
Create and maintain a system you can actually keep up with
Result: You open your inbox and know exactly what needs your attention and what doesn’t.
2. Organising Receipts & Invoices
If your receipts live in a shoebox, a drawer, or a random corner of your camera roll it's going to create a bunch of work when it's time to submit your tax return. I can:
Collect, sort, and label all your receipts
Match them to transactions
Maintain a spreadsheet for your accountant or end-of-month clarity
Result: No more last-minute receipt hunts when it’s time for taxes or reports.
3. Task & Deadline Tracking
If you’re juggling projects, clients, and personal commitments, task management can quickly become overwhelming. I can:
Set up and maintain a simple task system
Send you reminders
Track deadlines and progress
Keep everything in one tidy place (Notion, Google Sheets, whatever works for you)
Result: You stay on top of things without living in your head or 17 different tabs.
4. Social Media Admin (not content creation but the other stuff)
Even if you’re creating your own content, there’s still so much admin involved. I can:
Organise your content calendar
Save & track content ideas
Repurpose posts into different formats
Help schedule or upload content across platforms
Manage comments & DMs
Result: More consistent posting, less behind-the-scenes mess.
5. Monthly Reports & Admin Reviews
Knowing your numbers matters but putting it all together takes time. I can:
Compile your monthly revenue, expenses, and admin stats
Track changes or trends over time
Prepare a clear, simple report that gives you instant insight into how your business is doing
Result: You feel in control of your business, not in the dark.
Let’s Be Honest…
You didn’t start your business to be buried in admin.
You started it to do the thing you’re great at. The admin stuff? That’s my thing.
If even one of these tasks made you think “ugh, I really need to sort that,” it’s probably time to delegate.
And it's your lucky day, I’ve got space for new clients!
