If you could erase one admin task from existence, what would it be?
For me, it’s Tax. I’ll be hiring an account manager this year so any recommendations are most welcome.
Admin is supposed to keep things running smoothly, but some tasks are designed purely to test our patience.

It’s like a rite of passage, you start a business, you do everything yourself, and before you know it, you're drowning in spreadsheets, emails, and mystery file names like “Final-Final-Version-2-Actually-Final-This-Time.docx.”
I see it all the time with my clients at Odber Virtual, brilliant at what they do but bogged down by admin chaos that makes them question all their life choices.
I’ve got news for you, you don’t have to do it all…., seriously. You really don’t.
The key to escaping admin hell is knowing what to automate, delegate, or just bin entirely.
Hate invoicing? Set up an automated system that does it for you or hire me
Are emails clogging your brain? Templates, filters, and a polite but deadly unsubscribe habit work wonders or hire me.
Is Social media giving you stress hives? Get a content plan sorted, batch-create posts, and schedule them so you can live your life or hire me.
So, what’s your admin nightmare? Tell me in the comments.
Let’s have a rant and then sort it out together. And if you’re ready to finally offload those tasks and get back to doing what you actually love, (in case you missed my subtle hints above) I’m here to help.
Because I think you deserve better than spending your time fighting with Excel.
