Practical business support for busy business owners
You don’t always need another consultant telling you what you should be doing.
Sometimes you just need someone to get the jobs done.
I’m Claire, I provide practical, flexible support to small and medium-sized businesses, from bookkeeping and admin to data entry and project work.
How does it work?
It’s really quite simple!
You don’t need to work out which package you need or commit to a certain number of hours.
We have a chat, probably over a coffee (and cake if you like) you tell me what you need help with and I get on with it.
I work on an hourly basis.
You might need regular support every week. You might have a project that needs a few days’ help. Or you might simply have a list of jobs that has got out of hand. I am flexible, call me when you need me, this could be daily, monthly or quarterly!
There is no minimum number of hours per month, you only pay for the hours I work.
Step 1
Tell me what you need.
Don’t worry if you can’t put your finger on it, we’ll find out in our chats.
Step 2
Send things my way.
Give me the jobs you don’t like doing so I can take care of them for you.
Step 3
I’ll get on with it.
I’ll work in the background, keeping things moving and you updated where needed.
Step 4
You get some time back.
You can get on with running your business rather than spending your time on jobs someone else could be doing.
what can i help with?
The businesses I work with are all different and this means the work I do is different too.
I work with brick fabricators, fresh produce importers, holiday let management, electrical engineers: different businesses but the same problem, they’ve all got things that need doing and they’d rather not do them themselves.
Some clients need regular bookkeeping. Some need help with admin or data entry. Some have a project that needs getting over the line.
And sometimes someone just needs a reliable person to hand a list of jobs to.
Here are some of the things I can help with.
Bookkeeping
Keeping on top of the numbers is important, but it doesn’t have to be your job.
I can help you with your day to day bookkeeping and finance admin, keeping everything organised and up to date.
Business Support
Sometimes you don’t need a specific service.
You just need another capable person who can look at what needs doing work it out and get on with it.
Data and Spreadsheets
I genuinely love a spreadsheet! Whether you’ve got data that needs entering, checking, organising or keeping up to date, I can take care of it for you.
Project Support
Got a project that needs organising, researching or getting over the line?
I can help with the planning, admin, research and all the jobs in between that keep things moving.
About me
Experienced in business and a small business owner too
The difference is, I happen to enjoy a lot of the jobs that other business owners don’t.
Give me a spreadsheet, some bookkeeping, a pile of data or a project that needs organising and I’m happy.
So while Pure Class Vintage is closed, I use my experience to help other small and medium-sized businesses with the things they don’t have time to do.
And please don’t let the corporate background put you off
I know my experience might sound a little more corporate than the Team Brooks website suggests.
I’ve worked at senior level, managed a £1m turnover business and a team of 10, and have experience across finance, operations, sales, people management, business planning and project work.
That experience is useful.
It means I understand how businesses work. I can look at a job and usually work out what needs doing without needing lots of direction.
But I’m not interested in bringing corporate jargon into your business.
I run a vintage clothes shop.
I understand small business because I’m in it every day.
Sometimes you need someone with serious business experience. You just don’t need them to make things more complicated than they need to be.
