Running a business is hard enough. Let me take some of the weight.
I’m a virtual assistant, bookkeeper and business mentor for small businesses. I’ll sort the admin, keep your books straight and help you work out what to do next, in plain English and without the pressure.
Most small business owners I meet are doing the job of five people.
You’re brilliant at what you do. But somewhere between the customer emails, the invoices and the receipts in a shoebox, the thing you actually set up your business to do gets squeezed out.
- The inbox you’ve been meaning to sort for weeks.
- The bookkeeping you’re quietly dreading.
- That nagging feeling you’re busy, but not sure you’re heading the right way.
If that’s you, you’re not behind. You just need a second pair of hands.
Three ways I help. Use one, or mix them.
Everything is shaped around your business, not squeezed into a package that doesn’t fit.

Why work with me?
I started Managed by Julie because small businesses deserve proper, reliable support too, not just the big companies with whole teams behind them. I’ve been doing this for 11 years, and I still love it.
When you work with me, here’s what you can count on:
- You’ll deal with me, not a call centre or a ticket system.
- I’ll explain things in plain English, with no jargon.
- I’ll do what I say I’ll do, when I say I’ll do it.
- I’ll be honest, even if that means telling you something you didn’t want to hear.
No forms, no jargon, no long contracts to sign first.
Have a chat with me
Book a free 30-minute call. Tell me about your business and what’s eating your time. I’ll listen.
We agree what helps
I’ll suggest where I can make the biggest difference, whether that’s admin, bookkeeping, mentoring or a bit of each.
You get on with your day
I take things off your plate and keep you in the loop. You get your time and your headspace back.
Longer-term support, or a whole job taken off your hands.
If you’d like an ongoing partner for tech and strategy, or you’d simply like to hand a project over and get it back finished, have a look at these.
Tell me what you needQuestions you might have
Who do you work with?
Small business owners, freelancers, sole traders and small teams, at every stage from just starting out to well established. Bookkeeping is for UK businesses; everything else I can do for you wherever you are in the world.
What happens on the free chat?
We have a relaxed 30-minute conversation. You tell me what’s going on in your business, and I’ll tell you honestly whether and how I can help. There’s no obligation and no hard sell.
Can I use more than one service?
Of course. Plenty of people pair virtual assistant support with bookkeeping, or add mentoring for extra direction. We’ll build something that fits you.
Will you work with my accountant?
Yes. I keep your records accurate and organised so they’re ready to pass to your accountant, which usually makes year-end a lot calmer.
Is it all done remotely?
Yes. I work remotely from the UK, so I can support you wherever you are.
What’s the best way to get in touch?
