About Barbara

A true "organisational pilot", I offer a complete outsourced office management service.
I take care of your administrative, accounting, commercial, human resources, and legal needs, as well as your social media.
Thanks to my transversal skills and autonomy, I save you time, efficiency, and peace of mind.

You will find below a non-exhaustive list of the services I offer:
- Administrative management: appointment scheduling, incoming and outgoing mail management (phone, email, mail, etc.), etc.
- Budget management (accounting if you prefer): invoice and/or reminder preparation, VAT declarations, personal/corporate income tax, etc.
- Human resources management: drafting employment contracts and other agreements, setting up and accessing supplementary benefits, salary payments, etc.
- Commercial management: quote preparation, agenda management, etc.
- Event organization: meetings, team building, company meals, marketing, advertising, etc.

I thrive in companies as well as with small independent businesses, in fiduciary firms as well as in legal or medical practices. Diversity appeals to me, and I crave more of it.
Also, nothing beats a good working atmosphere where we can help and support each other to evolve together in the same direction.

Want to know more? Want to free yourself from the paperwork that bothers you so much? Have a project to entrust to me?
Don't think twice and contact me. You won't regret it!
