I run a small Melbourne-based business and need a reliable pair of hands to keep our back office humming while I focus on clients. Day to day you will own the routine admin that keeps us organised: • Data entry – from client details to supplier invoices, always accurate and up to date • Scheduling appointments – coordinating my calendar and confirming meetings or calls • Managing emails – sorting, flagging priorities and drafting quick, professional replies • Xero work – bank reconciliations, raising invoices, tracking payments and tidying the chart of accounts at an intermediate level Fluent spoken and written English is essential because you’ll occasionally jump on the phone with customers or suppliers. Strong task-tracking habits and a knack for staying one step ahead will make you a perfect fit. We operate on Australian Eastern time, so being in a close time zone—or happy to work those hours—will help communication flow smoothly. When you respond, let me know: • your experience with Xero (years, typical tasks) • the hours you can cover in AEST • any questions you have about the workflow I’m ready to get started as soon as I find the right person. Looking forward to working with you.

Hi, Small businesses often lose time and clarity when routine admin and Xero work fall behind. I will keep your back office humming so you can focus on clients, by owning data entry, scheduling, email triage and intermediate Xero maintenance reliably and with attention to detail. I have handled these exact day-to-day tasks for small service firms: accurate client and supplier data entry, appointment coordination, phone-based follow ups, drafting professional replies, bank reconciliations, raising invoices and tracking payments. I pay close attention to the chart of accounts and tidy it to reduce reconciliation friction and reporting noise. My first action will be a 1-hour onboarding session to review current Xero setup, your scheduling preferences and email templates, then I will create a simple task-tracking board to keep you one step ahead. I use checklist-driven workflows to ensure consistency and quick handoffs. - Would you prefer I work from a shared task board in Xero or an external task tool? - Are there any recurring suppliers or invoice templates that need immediate cleanup? Would love to jump on a quick call if that works for you. Christopher
