The Problem

If your business can’t run for a week without you making decisions, answering questions, or personally handling tasks, it’s not a business. It’s a job you own. Most small business owners in the FM area are working harder than they should because their systems haven’t kept up with their growth.

YOUR BUSINESS SHOULD RUN WITHOUT YOU IN THE ROOM.

The problem usually isn’t one big thing. It’s a hundred small ones. Manually entering the same data twice. Sending the same email every Monday morning. Chasing invoices that should have been paid automatically. Reminding employees of the same steps on every single job. Each task takes five minutes. Together they take hours every week.

I find those leaks, figure out which ones can be automated, and build the systems to fix them. Most owners get back 5 to 10 hours a week. Hours they can put into revenue-generating work, or just getting home on time.

The Work

WHAT I DO

01
Operations Audit

I map every repetitive task in your business that costs you time each week: scheduling, invoicing, follow-ups, reporting, onboarding. Most owners find 8 to 15 hours of automatable work in the first session.

02
Priority Automation Build

I identify the 3 to 5 automations with the highest time or cost return and build them first. No bloated systems, no software you don't understand. Just the highest-impact work, done fast.

03
Custom Workflow Systems

I replace your manual tasks with software: automated scheduling, invoice follow-up, job completion notifications, employee checklists, and more. Built for the way your business actually runs.

04
Documentation & Handoff

I document every system I build so your team knows exactly how it works. No tribal knowledge, no single point of failure. The business runs consistently whether you're there or not.

The Results

WHAT YOU GET

  • 5 to 10 hours per week back from automated tasks
  • Documented workflows your team can follow without asking you
  • Fewer errors from manual data entry and dropped handoffs
  • A business that operates consistently whether you're there or not
  • A clear picture of where your time and money are actually going

ONE AUTOMATION REPLACED TWO FULL-TIME VIRTUAL ASSISTANT ROLES.

I built a Make.com workflow that runs his social publishing end to end. After it went live, two full-time VA roles were no longer needed.

Questions · Process Automation

COMMON QUESTIONS

What kinds of tasks can actually be automated?

Anything repetitive with a predictable trigger: scheduling and reminders, invoice follow-up, job completion notices, review requests, recurring reports, moving data between two systems, employee checklists. If you do it roughly the same way every week, it is a candidate.

How long before the first automation is live?

Usually about 30 days from the audit. I build the three to five highest-return automations first rather than trying to systematize everything at once, so you start getting time back while the rest is still being scoped.

Do I need to be technical to use this?

No, and that is the point. Everything is documented in plain language and most of it runs without anyone touching it. If a system needs you to understand it in order to work, I built it wrong.

What tools do you build on?

Make.com for most workflow automation, plus whatever your business already runs on. I would rather connect the tools you are already paying for than migrate you onto something new. The exception is when the existing tool is the actual problem.

What if my team doesn't adopt it?

Then it failed, and that is a design problem rather than a training problem. If a system adds steps to someone's day, people route around it. I build for the way your team actually works and document it so nobody has to remember.

How much does process automation cost?

Setup runs $2,000 to $3,200 depending on how many processes are in scope, then $500 to $850 a month to monitor, adjust, and keep building. The initial commitment is 90 days. The free audit tells you what is worth automating before you spend anything.
