"As a new business owner, Ella was critical in setting up my systems. With Ella’s help, I was able to focus on my clients while Ella handled all of the back end administrative set up. Even though she was unfamiliar with my CRM software when I retained her services, she became a master very quickly and was able to integrate features I wasn’t even aware existed. My business was up and running within a month and I couldn’t have done that without Ella’s guidance and assistance. I will forever be grateful for her insight and patience with me as I ventured into business ownership." ~ Ashley F.
About Ella
With years of experience as a solo service provider, a passion for customer service, a knack for the back-end of running a small business, problem solving and project management, and the heart of a teacher, I'd love to help you.
Hello There!When I launched my first business over 18 years ago, I was focused on my expertise and had little idea what running a business entailed. My love of learning, interest in technology, years of customer service experience, and natural inclination towards organizing, problem solving, design, and administration became the foundation for the skills I would develop to grow my business.A few years ago, small business owners in my network began reaching out to me for help with administrative tasks and business technology. I discovered I enjoyed being of service in this way so now I'm offering to help solopreneurs like you navigate the business end of running a business.Should this resonate with you, please contact me. I look forward to hearing about your business venture and discovering whether or not we could work together.Best of luck to you!Ella

She knows more about security and privacy than anyone I have ever met. I trust her to work in any area of my business and would also trust her with my personal information should I ever need personal executive assitance." ~ Annette A.

*UX Design = User Experience Design defines the experience a user would go through when interacting with a company, its services, and its products. User experience design is a user centered design approach because it considers the user's experience when using a product or platform. ~ Wikipedia 3.14.2024
"In her support role with my trucking company, Ella demonstrated her creative problem solving skills. When our software couldn't do all we needed, she devised a system... (which) allowed our management to hold our drivers accountable in their job responsibilities in a way we had struggled with for some time. Later, .... (another role with the same company) Ella not only took on this role without knowing anything about our industry, but she also simplified and improved the spreadsheets the previous staff member had in place for this task, then she created comprehensive standard operating procedures for us to utilize for this role moving forward... Over the course of our working relationship, I've appreciated Ella's skills in organization, efficiency, ability to learn new tasks under pressure, her stick-to-itiveness, and her good attitude. I believe Ella can do just about anything she puts her mind to." ~ David H.
