Built for Trades & Service-Based Businesses

Trades

If you’re on the tools all day, admin usually happens late or not at all.

Behind the Scenes supports Hawke’s Bay trade businesses by:

  • Keeping job admin organised

  • Coordinating staff and schedules

  • Managing paperwork and follow-ups

  • Making sure nothing slips through the cracks

I work quietly in the background so jobs, staff, and systems stay organised.

Why outsource?

When you outsource your admin support, business management and financial admin, you get expert help without the cost of a full-time employee. No salaries, no onboarding, no holiday pay, no HR compliance. Just flexible, cost-effective support when you need it.

The productivity boost is massive too. A skilled virtual assistant can step in to organise your inbox, streamline your systems, manage HR admin and handle day-to-day tasks that take you away from running your business.

You get more time to focus on growth, clients and the work that actually moves your business forward—while everything behind the scenes runs smoothly and efficiently.

Outsourced admin support = less overwhelm, lower costs and higher productivity.
A win for any business owner.
