Providing services, strategies & solutions

for small business owners

My name is Barbara ~

Your Admin Whiz!

I am a Canadian Certified Virtual Assistant with over 20 years of experience in administration and all that goes with it – I’ve worked with one person operations to large, international corporate enterprises.  There hasn’t been much that hasn’t come across my desk!  I’ve worked in the fields of insurance, accounting, high-tech software, manufacturing, standards certification, engineering, and real estate.

I’ve done basic administration, group benefits administration, bookkeeping (Accounts Payable and Receivable, invoicing, expense tracking), Proposals, documentation, Event Planning, Trade Show Marketing, project management, website maintenance and design, newsletters (paper and electronic).

About the only thing I’m weak on is playing a musical instrument!

One morning I awoke thinking that enough was enough and that the corporate environment was not for me!

One of my favourite things to do is learn new things – I have an insatiable curiosity about everything and anything.  And let’s face it, the corporate office wants things done their way and it is not interested in letting you do things your way – even if it works exceptionally well for you!

I’ve been learning new things since I left, a lot of it has enhanced what I already know, some things are brand new.  I’m loving it.

But I need to use all this lovely new knowledge and the best way to do that is by doing what I do best – helping you get the job done!
