Project & Job Administration that fits your business

I understand the practical administration behind construction projects: variations, progress claims, supplier payments and the importance of accurate information for cashflow. I help keep that information organised while you focus on delivering the work.

What I can help with

  • Job setup, administration and cost tracking
  • Purchase orders, supplier payments and materials tracking
  • Variations, invoicing and progress payment schedules
  • Project reporting and comparing costs against budgets
  • Coordinating project information across staff, suppliers and subcontractors

Work with Next Minute, Simpro and your existing tools

I have hands-on experience with Next Minute, Simpro and other industry-specific software. You do not necessarily need to change systems to get better administrative support. We can work out how I can support the tools and processes you already use.

Flexible, hourly support

You only pay for the support you need. There is no fixed weekly hours commitment: use regular help, support during busy periods or assistance with a specific task. We will discuss the work and agree an arrangement that suits your business.

Your questions answered

What if I'm already using Next Minute, Simpro or another job management system?

That's absolutely fine. I have hands-on experience with Next Minute, Simpro and other industry-specific software.

I can work with your existing systems to help manage job administration, purchase orders, invoicing, variations, job costing and reporting.

You don't necessarily need to change software to get better administrative support.

Can you help me understand where my business is making or losing money?

Yes, and this is an important part of running a successful trade business.

I can assist with financial reporting, job costing, tracking expenses, monitoring cashflow and comparing project costs against budgets.

Having accurate, up-to-date information makes it easier to understand how your business is performing and plan ahead.

Can you help if my business is growing and I'm struggling to keep up with the paperwork?

Absolutely – that's where I can make a real difference.

As your business grows, so does the administration. More employees, more projects, more invoices and more paperwork can quickly become overwhelming.

I can help take those responsibilities off your hands, allowing you to focus on managing your team, delivering projects and growing your business.

You get experienced administrative support without necessarily needing to employ someone full-time.
