Business Support Retainer

Flexible, retained support for the tasks that keep the business running.

Retained admin and executive-assistant support, delivered by someone who learns how you work. From inbox and calendar to documents, data and client correspondence, your support partner handles the day-to-day with precision - inside agreed monthly hours - so you can focus on growth. When a task keeps repeating because the process is wrong, we say so: that is improvement work, and it sits alongside this retainer rather than replacing it.

What is Business Support Retainer?

A Business Support Retainer gives Australian businesses ongoing administrative and executive-assistant support from a dedicated, vetted support partner who learns how you work. It solves the pile-up of recurring operational work - inbox, calendar, documents, data and client correspondence - so owners and senior leaders get hours back every week instead of doing everything themselves. Work runs inside agreed monthly hours, with the same person each time and regular reviews. It does not cover process redesign, system implementation or governance documentation - that is improvement work, delivered through the Process Partner Retainer.

Victorian based - collaborating Australia wide.

Common questions about the Business Support Retainer

A recurring allocation of hours for operational support: system administration, process management, documentation maintenance, reporting and ad-hoc project coordination, structured around agreed hours and review cadences.
