The result? You get powerful, custom-built solutions instead of paying for expensive software that only partially fits your needs.
Save time, save money, and discover what your business could do.
What Would You Do With an Extra Month+ Every Year?
Your day disappears into repetitive tasks: lead management, follow-ups, spreadsheet updates, data copying between tools. Multiply that across your team - most of it could be automated.
Save just one hour per person daily = 30 extra working days per year. Imagine your business with a 13-month year per team member. You already have the tools. I make them work 24/7 - no salary required.

ABOUT
I’ve been there. I spent a decade running Property, Construction, and Kitchen businesses - working 15-hour days just to keep up.
Managing projects, updating spreadsheets, tracking costs, handling quotes, suppliers, contractors - all the repetitive admin that keeps you stuck working in the business instead of growing it.
Now, I help small business owners discover AI and Automation capabilities they didn’t know existed. The truth is, smart systems can quietly handle the admin and unlock new capabilities that help your business grow.
I’ll show you what’s possible - no jargon, no complexity, just more time where it matters.

THE PROCESS
01
Capability Discovery
A Quick Chat About Your Current Setup (and What's Possible)
We start with a quick, free, no-pressure conversation about the software you’re already using and the tasks filling your and your team’s day. It's a collaborative look at how your business runs now, and how automation could make it lighter, faster, and more efficient.
You’ll likely be pleasantly surprised at how much of the work draining your time can be automated. Repetitive tasks happen automatically while keeping you fully in the loop so nothing slips through the cracks.
Even better, we’ll explore new capabilities that could help your business grow: tasks you wish you could afford a specialist for - lead research, proactive client communication, even automated competitive intelligence - all possible without expanding your headcount or learning new systems.
02
Automation Opportunity Assessment
Your Custom Roadmap: Save Time, Save Money, Unlock New Capabilities
I’ll send you a clear, custom roadmap based on your current tech setup. I’ll show you exactly which tasks can be automated - and the time and cost savings you could achieve - broken into two parts:
Quick-win automations - Simple, effective solutions that could immediately save time and cut costs - often paying for themselves within weeks.
Bigger automations & new capabilities - More complex projects with bigger payoffs and higher ROI - the next steps to consider once you’ve experienced the benefits. Options that could replace the need for new hires or even entire departments. Often, the most valuable discovery isn’t just time saved - it’s unlocking capabilities you didn’t know were within reach.
You’ll have a clear, practical action plan to save time, reduce costs, and unlock powerful new business capabilities - no pressure, no hard sell, just the options available to you.
03
Implementation (Only If It Makes Sense)
Custom Solutions - Built Around How You Already Work
Only if the time savings, cost reductions, or new capabilities would genuinely benefit your business do we move to implementation.
I'll design custom automation systems that work with your existing tools and workflows - no forcing your business into generic software, no expensive new subscriptions, no disruption to how you already operate. Everything integrates quietly in the background, so your team can keep working normally while automated systems handle the repetitive tasks for you.
The goal? Your business runs faster, smarter, and more profit - with new capabilities, and without additional overhead or headcount.
