Are you struggling to find the time to achieve all your administrative tasks, in addition to steering the business forward?
Do you spend your days working IN the business, and then spend your evenings in front of the computer trying to complete your quotes, invoicing, data entry and more?
Do you need support from someone who can swoop in quickly and get the job done?
Let me introduce myself, I’m Marie and I’m the Head Empress here at Empress of Order. I can help you with all the tasks above and more!!
My Mission
To help women with business overload bring order to their lives, with processes and systems that leave them feeling supported and calm, with space to create
My Values
Balance – Balance for me and for my clients … that’s what Empress of Order is all about!
Integrity – I’m a rule follower (and I’m not afraid to admit it!),
I’m honest, trustworthy and I’ll always do what I commit to do
Reliability – You’ll come to depend on me, and I don’t take that lightly. You’ll always get what you need when you need it
Empress of Order was born in 2018 when I made the decision to leave a senior role in my corporate nine to five to get more balance in my life. I know that sounds a bit clichéd, but it’s the truth. As well as being just a number in a huge corporation, I spent around eight hours a week travelling to and from the city and I wanted that time back.
I decided to purposely seek out the flexible lifestyle that comes with being a Virtual Assistant.
I’ve spent most of my career in administration – firstly in construction, then someone else’s small business, mining, aviation and finally oil & gas. During my working career I’ve been fortunate enough to learn a wide range of skills and built experience in all aspects of administration, reporting, communications, procedures and safety.
Although I’m originally from Scotland, I’ve been living and working in WA for over two decades. I’m now a West Australian small business owner myself, so I understand how we do business here. Using a WA based service means that we’re operating in the same time zone and speaking the same language.
In addition to this, I’m obsessed with detail. I love organisation, order and making life easier for my clients. I get a kick out of a well-executed spreadsheet or a beautiful presentation, and I’m well known for producing work to a high standard, even under pressure. I’m also a confident communicator, and I understand that you’re busy running your business, so I’ll always keep communications at a level that’s comfortable for you.
Belbin testing proves that I’m a ‘completer finisher’ and we are often described as painstaking, orderly, conscientious, detail people. Completer finishers have a great capacityfor follow through and wouldn’t normally start something they couldn’t finish.
Does that sound like the type of person you’d like on your team?
