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!
