Meet Em

My Husband & I have two small children + two small businesses.

I grew up in a rural town where the values of hard work and community were instilled in me from an early age. My grandparents both owned small business and my parents followed their lead.

Mum owned a café; Dad owned & operated a transport company.
This early exposure to small business shaped my understanding of the dedication and passion it takes to do it well.

After graduating high school, I moved to the Sunshine Coast.
I started working at a local dentist’s office. I began as a dental assistant, sterilisation nurse and then a receptionist and eventually
the practice owner’s personal assistant.
This experience again deepened my appreciation for the
small business community and the unique challenges we face.

My husband owns and operates a Colourbond fencing business
on the Sunshine Coast, which we began in 2018. So, like my parents & their parents, our hands are full + we love it!

The start

I started this business after realising the little bits and pieces I was doing for friends and family were actually making a massive impact for them. I saw how much weight I could lift off their shoulders, and I knew that by taking the leap into my own business, I could do that for even more people. My favourite moments are turning a messy brain dump into a game plan and then streamlined system. My brain loves the variety, tackling new projects every day and turning your chaos into clarity for all different types of businesses.

“Working with Emily has been such a relief for my business. She reviewed the software options and our workflow process, shared clear reports and helped me choose the best fit for how we work. She also took care of the setup and transfers, making the whole process feel simple instead of stressful. These were tasks I’d been putting off for months. She’s quick to pick things up, great at problem solving and always easy to communicate with. I felt supported the entire time and everything was handled with care and confidence. I’d happily recommend Emily to any business owner needing reliable ongoing admin support.”
