PROJECTS, SYSTEMS, & OPERATIONS SUPPORT FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS

You're not behind. You're just doing too much alone.

When every decision, task, and question runs through you, growth starts to feel heavy. Get virtual assistant support to finish the projects that keep getting pushed back, or an experienced partner to set up your operations and build systems your team can carry forward. I help you create a business that doesn't depend on you for everything.

Support Built to Last Beyond the Handoff

Built for Your Team

Every system is documented and tested so your team can run it with confidence long after setup is done.

Clear at Every Step

You always know what's in progress, what's next, and where things stand. No chasing updates.

Eight years documenting systems for the NASA Space Shuttle program taught me to build things people can follow. Today, that experience is backed by training and credentials in virtual support, operations, and creative strategy.

You Built Something Good. Now It Needs More of You.

Growth was supposed to make things easier. Instead, every decision, question, and loose end still finds its way back to you. If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

  • You're the only one who knows how things actually work

  • Projects you care about keep getting pushed to next month

  • Your team waits on you before they can move forward

  • Leads and follow-ups slip through the cracks

  • You can't step away without things falling behind

Five ways I take work off your plate.

Laurie supported my work with a client who needed a special photo of her parents touched up. She was able to use her skills to enhance the image beautifully, and my client was very happy. I would absolutely recommend Task Owl VA and Laurie to other small business owners because of her prompt and professional work. Laurie saved me time and brought relief as she handled a task that was outside my scope of service. Thank you, Laurie! You're a lifesaver!

Laurie has been a wonderful asset to my practice. She has consistently been organized, responsive, and professional in her communication with both clients and other professionals, which made a noticeable difference in the day-to-day flow of operations. She handled scheduling and client inquiries with care and efficiency, and I always felt confident that things were being managed smoothly behind the scenes. I’m very grateful for the reliability and support she provided and would highly recommend her in future roles.

Working with Laurie was the greatest experience I have ever had with a virtual assistant. Setting up my online store and the products she uses with my brand just blew me away. I would definitely recommend Laurie to other small businesses because she knows her craft and she works with excellence. Laurie freed me an exorbitant amount of time so I could focus on other major areas of my business. I am truly blessed to have found someone like her who actually does what she advertises that she can do. I will most definitely will use her again. Thank you, Laurie, for being who you say you are.

Picture this

You start Monday knowing exactly what's happening this week, because priorities are clear and someone else is tracking them. Your team finds answers in documented processes instead of coming to you. A new client signs, and onboarding runs smoothly without you chasing a single step.

There’s a clear path from where you are now to a business that runs without everything going through you. I call it the Clarity-to-Capacity Framework™. See how it works

This isn't a someday picture. It's what happens when your operations have an owner.

Questions You Might Be Asking

Here are the questions small business owners ask most. If yours isn't here, submit your question using the button below or book a discovery call, and we'll talk it through.

What's the difference between a virtual assistant and an Online Business Manager?

A virtual assistant handles the tasks and projects on your list. An Online Business Manager looks at how your whole business runs. That means setting up systems, managing projects, and getting your team ready to carry the work forward. I offer both, so you can start with the level of support you need now.

I'm not sure what I need. Where should I start?

Most clients start with a Business Operations Review. We find the real bottleneck and map out a 90-day plan, so you know exactly what to fix first. If you already know what needs to get done and just need the hours, Project Support Hours are a simple place to begin.

How much does it cost?

Support starts at $375 for a block of Project Support Hours, and OBM Partnerships start at $1,750 per month. Every option is priced up front, with no hidden fees. See all pricing

What happens when our work together ends?

That depends on how we work together:

Project Support Hours: When your block is used up, you can buy more hours whenever you need them. There's no pressure and no lapse in quality when you come back.

Launch and funnel projects: When the project is complete, I walk you through an offboarding process so you know exactly what was built and how to use it. From there, you can start a new project or move into an OBM Partnership.

OBM Partnership: Your team takes over with documented systems they can follow. Every process is written down, tested, and walked through with the people who will run it.

Wherever you start, you can keep building from there as your business grows.

What tools do you work with?

I work in many mainstream tools, including Google Workspace, GoHighLevel, ClickUp, Dubsado, and more. I work inside the tools your business already uses, so your team doesn't have to learn a new system.

If you use a tool I haven't worked in yet, I pick up new systems quickly. Depending on the tool, some learning time may be billed, and we'll agree on that before we begin. And if something in your current setup isn't working, I'll recommend a simpler way that fits how your business actually runs.

Can I change my support level later?

Yes. Many clients start with hours or a project and move into a partnership as their needs grow.
