Frequently Asked Questions

Your time is too valuable to be spent doing paperwork:  Consider the rate you can bill your time at, and how many of those precious hours are spent on administrative details that are not your specialty. Odds are that you could be more profitable by doing what you do best and contracting out to an experienced office professional.

Networking:  I also see other local clients, and I promote all of my clients at every opportunity.

You pay for only what you need:

·  I leave when the work is done, and we schedule more time when you need it. 

·  Since the workload dictates the schedule, every hour that you pay for is truly productive time.

No long-term commitments.

No interviewing for new staff every time you need a new project done: My skills are varied enough to cover most of your office needs.  If I don't know how to do it, chances are I know another contractor who can.

I am a contractor, not an employee:  You pay the flat rate as agreed and that’s all you pay.  It is a fact that the average employee carries at least 18% burden in addition to their wages, not including health insurance!

Temporary agencies charge you an hourly fee for a temporary employee.  The employee is paid a percentage of your fee and the agency keeps the rest to cover their overhead and profit margin.  Often temporary agencies pay temporary employees significantly less than a full-time job would pay that same employee for the same work.

As a result, talented office professionals often accept assignments with temporary agencies while they job-hunt, so by the time you have trained them they accept full-time jobs elsewhere, and you must start over training a new temporary employee.

I am an administrative professional with years of experience in many fields.  Temporary, part-time, and project support is my business, and I have been doing it as an independent consultant since 2001.

With no middlemen to pay, the old adage is true - you DO get what you pay for.
