This document provides information and rates for outsourcing various business tasks such as bookkeeping, administrative work, and project management. It describes the services offered to help independent contractors and small businesses focus on their creative work by handling paperwork, deadlines, travel arrangements, and other mundane business obligations. Pre-paid service packages and hourly rates are listed that are significantly lower than traditional options in order to keep overhead costs low.
3. You’re an independent contractor, entrepreneur or small business. Perhaps you’re
an artist, writer, composer, tech, publicist, stylist, costumer, content creator, road
dog, record label, etc. You got into this business because you love what you do.
It inspires you, it makes you feel alive…you just don’t have a lot of love for the
mundane obligations that come along with the job...
4.
5. Everybody’s huggin’ and high fivin’…..
Champagne corks are poppin’….business cards are
exchangin’ with
promises of working together in the future…..there’s nothing
like it!
6. Then….it’s back to life, back to reality….
The gig is over, the next one is months away….
7. You have to be a bookkeeper, travel agent, researcher, promoter,
employer.....you have to follow up on emails and phone calls,
schedule appointments, separate your personal life from your
business life and keep precise records. File taxes, renew licenses
and permits, and don‘t get me started on the receipts...the minutiae
stresses you out, because the penalties for missing a deadline are
steep
8. Sometimes you’re on the other side of the world...and
if you‘re missing a crucial document when one of
those deadlines loom.....it makes you wonder if this
‘being your own boss‘ thing is really worth it....
9. This is where we can be of service. We can take over all
the minutiae. We aren’t asking for any commitments, you
can bring us on for a specific project, short or long term,
or have us do your bidding on a regular basis - we’re
here to take everything that has nothing to do with your
craft, off your plate, so you can stay in the zone.

11. Time to pull out the business cards you collected and send an email to your former comrades in arms,
you don’t know what you’re going to say, now that you’re back in your other reality, that ‘family’
feels like strangers, but you know networking is crucial…..it’s also a good time to update your resume, get
that cover letter ready and let everyone know you’re back and ready to work.
Oh, and, you must go through your receipts, separate business from personal, chargebacks, currency,
break out the taxes, record everything so you can get your write-offs…you have the time now….
12.
13. We’ll handle all your bookkeeping needs so you’ll have a spreadsheet instead of a garbage bag full of
receipts when you see your Accountant at tax time.

to future work – we’ll help keep you in touch
We’ll make sure those business cards are added to your contacts

Your union dues, file your GST….

Your travel, research potential new gigs…
