Which kind of support do you need?

You likely need a virtual assistant if:

• You know what needs to get done, but don’t have the hours

• You have a specific project that keeps getting pushed back

• You want to stay in charge of the work, just not do all of it

You likely need an OBM if:

• You’re the only one who knows how anything actually works

• You have a team, but you’re still doing all the coordinating

• Growth is making things harder instead of easier

Begin With Clarity

• Custom 90-day action plan with your highest-impact priorities

Hands-On Support

Project Support Hours

You know what needs to get done. You just don’t have the hours to do it. Project Support Hours give you skilled, experienced virtual assistant support without hiring a team member. You direct the work, and your hours cover any mix of services at your own pace.

Think of your hours like a prepaid debit card. You buy a block, use it for whatever you need, and always know your balance.

5-Hour Block

$75 per hour
$375 total

10-Hour Block (Best value)

$70 per hour
$700 total

Prepaid. Hours are valid for 6 months. No contracts or monthly minimums.

How it works:

  1. Choose a 5-hour or 10-hour block and pay online

  2. Share what you need through a short intake form

  3. I get started, and you receive a balance update as hours are used

  4. When your balance runs low, I’ll let you know so you can top up

Not sure what you need? Book a quick call first.

Projects With a Finish Line

Launch and Funnel Projects

Some work needs a clear plan, a defined scope, and a finish line. You pay one flat price for the finished result, not by the hour. Launch Management keeps your timeline, team, and tasks moving so launch week feels steady. Launch Funnel Setup builds your pages, forms, emails, and automations so every lead gets followed up.

Flat project fee | Funnel Setup starting at $1,400

A Standing Partnership

OBM Partnership

You don’t need another person to manage. You need someone who can see the whole business and take ownership of how it runs. As your Online Business Manager, Laurie leads your operations: setting priorities, managing projects and people, and building the systems that let your business run without everything going through you.

What every partnership includes

  • Operational leadership: Laurie owns priorities, timelines, and follow-through

  • Project and team management: One point of contact holding every moving piece

  • Systems that hold: Processes documented and improved as you grow

  • Clear visibility: Regular check-ins and reporting so you always know where things stand

Essential Operations

$1,400/month

  • Best for: Founders ready to hand off ownership of key operational areas

  • Laurie owns: Your core systems and process improvements, plus one or two priority projects at a time

  • Capacity: Up to 20 hours monthly

Growth Operations Support

$2,100/month

  • Best for: Growing businesses with multiple projects and a team that needs coordination

  • Laurie owns: Day-to-day operations management, team coordination, and several active projects

  • Capacity: 21 to 30 hours monthly

Strategic Operations Partner

$2,800/month

  • Best for: Founders who want a true right hand for planning and execution

  • Laurie owns: Operational planning and priorities, key initiatives from start to finish, and leadership of your team’s workflow

  • Capacity: 31 to 40 hours monthly

Most partnerships begin with a Business Operations Review, so your first 90 days start with a clear plan.

MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Hey, I'm Laurie!

I spent eight years as a Technical Illustrator and Documentation Specialist supporting the NASA Space Shuttle program, where clear process was not optional. Today I bring that same precision to small businesses as a virtual assistant and Accredited Online Business Manager.

I’m at my best getting work done and across the finish line. That includes the projects that keep operations running smoothly, like setting up a project management tool, organizing workflows, or finally finishing the project that keeps getting pushed back. Whether you need an extra set of skilled hands or someone to own how your business runs, I’ll help you find the right fit for where you are right now.

Questions You Might Be Asking

Ready to choose your support but still have a few questions? Here’s what founders usually ask about pricing, hours, and getting started. If you don’t see yours, book a discovery call, and we’ll talk it through.

What is the difference between Project Support Hours and an OBM Partnership?

With Project Support Hours, you direct the work and Laurie completes it. With an OBM Partnership, Laurie takes ownership of your operations, sets priorities, manages projects and people, and keeps the whole business moving.

Why are the pricing structures different?

Each option is built for a different kind of support. Project Support Hours are paid by the hour because you direct the work. Launch and Funnel Projects have a flat fee because you're paying for a finished result, so you never need to watch the clock. OBM Partnership is a monthly investment because Laurie takes ownership of your operations, including planning, priorities, and team coordination, not just the tasks.

How do prepaid hours work?

You purchase a 5-hour or 10-hour block up front and use the hours for any mix of services within 6 months. Laurie tracks your time and shares regular updates on what's been completed.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

It depends on the kind of support you choose:

Project Support Hours: No contract. These are prepaid blocks with no monthly minimums.

Launch and funnel projects: Each one has an agreed scope, price, and finish line before work begins.

OBM Partnership: Yes. Partnerships are a monthly retainer with a 3-month minimum. That gives us time to set up your systems and hand them off to your team well. The contract sets clear expectations on both sides, including hours, priorities, and what your team will take over.
