Taking on new clients

Your tools don't talk
to each other.
I make them.

Practical AI setup, automation and back-office help for small businesses — so the same information stops being typed into three systems by a person who should be doing something else.

The first conversation is free, and it ends with a straight answer about whether I can help.

The problem

Most small businesses are running on a person in the middle

Four systems, none of them talking, and someone moving data between them by hand. Flip the switch.

Four systems, none of them talking. Someone re-keys the same information into each one, every day. It works right up until they are sick, busy, or they mistype a number and nobody notices for a month.

The same four systems, wired directly. The information moves on its own, arrives the same way every time, and the person who used to be the bridge gets their evening back.

Services

Four things I can take off your plate

Each of these is work I can deliver today. If what you need sits between two of them, that is normal — most jobs do.

AI workflow setup

One-off project

Getting AI tools set up for your business and working on your actual tasks, not demo ones.

What this involves

Automation and integrations

Either

Connecting the tools you already pay for so the same information stops being typed in twice.

What this involves

Admin and back-office support

Ongoing

The ongoing paperwork, inbox and records work that keeps getting pushed to the evening.

What this involves

Custom small tools

One-off project

A small piece of software built around how your business actually runs, when nothing off the shelf fits.

What this involves

Put a number on the busywork

Before talking about fixing it, it helps to see what the current arrangement actually costs. This uses your figures and runs entirely in your browser.

Your numbers, not mine. Nothing is sent anywhere — the maths runs in your browser.

Who it's for

Small enough that you are the IT department

If hiring an agency feels like overkill and figuring it out yourself keeps getting pushed to next week, that gap is where this work lives.

Small local businesses

Shops, bars, salons, contractors, restaurants — anywhere the owner is also the IT department, the bookkeeper and the person who closes up.

Solo professionals

Consultants, coaches, freelancers and small online sellers, where every hour spent on admin is an hour not spent billing.

Anyone outgrowing a spreadsheet

The file has twelve tabs, one person understands it, and everybody is quietly worried about the day it breaks.

How it works

No surprises, in either direction

Hiring someone technical is unnerving when you cannot picture what happens next. So here is what happens next.

  1. 01

    A first conversation

    You email me a rough description of the problem. We talk it through — a call or more email, whichever suits you. No charge for this part, and no obligation at the end of it.

  2. 02

    A look at how you work now

    Before proposing anything I want to see the actual process: the spreadsheet, the inbox, the thing your staff do at close. Problems usually turn out to be a step or two away from where they appear.

  3. 03

    A written scope and quote

    You get it in writing: what I will do, what you will have at the end, what it costs, and how long it should take. If I think the job is smaller than you feared, the quote says that.
