Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Are you a building tradesperson, entrepreneur, or small business owner.

You spend most of your time in the field, managing your clients, your teams, and your projects.

And like many managers, a second day often begins after 6 PM, to deal with administrative tasks and paperwork.

After 30 years of business management, I know this reality well: the motivation is there, but the days only have 24 hours.

That's why I created My Office Lady.

I help building tradespeople, entrepreneurs, and small businesses (VSEs) regain control of their administrative management and secure their invoicing and payments.

Specifically, I can help with:

• QUOTATION clients

• Invoices for work sites or services

• Client reminders and follow-up of overdue payments

• Administrative follow-up

• And any targeted action to meet your objectives and needs (contract management, disputes, regulatory compliance, communication, or implementation of management and performance tools adapted to your business).

My Office Lady is:

• 30 years of experience in business management

• An operational and pragmatic approach

• Expertise when you need it

• Controlled and transparent costs

• Remote or on-site interventions (Plabennec + 20 km)

My Office Lady: administrative support designed for tradespeople, entrepreneurs, and small businesses.

If certain administrative tasks annoy you and prevent you from concentrating on your job, I would be happy to discuss them with you.
