Business administrative support

There are many essential, but often time-consuming, admin tasks that are part and parcel of running a successful business. From ensuring a consistent presence on social media, chasing unpaid invoices and keeping on top of the mountain of emails.


If you're starting to feel like these tasks are taking you away from your revenue generating tasks, or the activities that will push your business forwards, then it might be time to outsource to us. Get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Lifestyle management

As small business owners, our work life and home life can often blur into one. Replying to emails whilst on hold to the doctors, or remembering your car insurance is due for renewal when you're knee deep in meeting prep.


On top of our usual business administration support, we also offer general lifestyle management, ensuring both your work life and home life remain free from chaos so you can concentrate on what matters to you. Get in touch to discuss your requirements.

"I came across Ashwood VA whilst searching for a virtual assistant and I'm so glad I found her! She has been fantastic from the start and always there to offer guidance, new ideas, support when I'm stuck and works at a pace I am comfortable with. Since working together the biggest transformation is my CRM. Right from our first phone call, I have had more clarity and feel a lot less overwhelmed, giving me more time to focus on photography and other aspects of my business. If you are on the fence about getting a VA, get in touch with Emilie, she has been a massive help"

With 70+ social posts to create for clients each month, it's fair to say I have to have my processes down. 

So here's how I create a month's worth of content without losing my sh*t 🤪

• Plan

I find batch-creating way easier than posting on the fly. So, to begin, I map out the content for the month after next. 

This includes what will be posted, when, and the goal for each post 🎯

• Create 

Over the next couple of weeks, I craft captions, and select images or create graphics. 

Because the strategy work has been done, I can switch on my creative brain and let it work its magic 🪄

• Optimise and schedule

The following week, I write hashtags and ensure the captions include relevant keywords.

I then optimise the posts for each platform before running through and scheduling them 👩🏼‍💻

• Review

At the end of the month, I evaluate how well the posts have performed, making a note of the best-performing content and reviewing the analytics.

At the end of each quarter, I prepare a report (not just for my clients but also for myself) and use it to tweak the strategy for the following quarter.

Do you have a process for creating content for your business? It's a great way to keep yourself on track and posting regularly. Feel free to DM me with your questions!
