Welcome to Office Butterfly!
Office Butterfly is a part of the new generation of “Virtual Assistants”, where you can find top Administration Support; in which I can assist you in whatever service you require.
Whether you are the manager of a department of a medium – or large-sized corporation – or the Managing Director of a small business – and you are spending a vast amount of time on doing the Administration of your business, look no further – I am here to help.
If you are not a manager (i.e. a sole trader) then I can also assist you by taking care of your basic Administration tasks.
I offer both one-off and contractual services, depending on either how long the job is or whether you need me for a fixed time per week or month.
Office Butterfly is the ideal answer if you want to have all the support that you require at a competitive price, without all the overheads and costs of employing a permanent member of staff.
If you would like to learn more about what Office Butterfly can do for you, then please look through the website, or if you simply require some information then please e-mail me on info @ officebutterfly.com (without the spaces)

I can help you by providing all the following advantages to your business:
* I am able to carry out all the basic Administration procedures at ease, enabling you to focus more on your business.
* I can provide support just when you really need it. Whether it’s for a couple of hours doing an odd job or working on a project or working for you for a couple of hours per week or month, I will try my best to accommodate your needs.
* I am able to provide professional support without all your excess business overheads, for example office furniture and computer expenses. I work from my own home office, which means that any expenditure for my office comes out of my own pocket.
* There is no need to pay for tax, holiday pay, sick pay, PAYE, etc. In fact, you currently don’t even have to pay for VAT for my services.
* You only pay for the hours required to complete the job. My rates are very competitively priced, as I manage to keep the overheads relating to the business low. This means that you have extra money to spend on more important business matters.
About
The Company
I created Office Butterfly in Autumn 2007, after noticing a gap in the local market where I felt I was unable to offer my skills to employers in the afternoons, as I also presently work part-time in the mornings. After an intensive investigation, I realised that I could work freelance – that way I was able to offer my skills as well as working at a time to suit me. Even though the company is based in Tonbridge, Kent, England, working virtually means that I am able to work with companies from the local area as well as from all around the world.
The Creator
I have had around 5 years experience in working in the Administration and Secretarial field; and I now feel that I can use all of my knowledge that I have gathered from over the years into setting up and running her own Virtual Administration business.
My work experience includes working with a large national Health organization, as well as a national fencing company, and a country club, so I am very flexible and can easily adapt to your company’s needs and ethos.
I have a keen interest in working with new people, and you can find me to be efficient, reliable and trustworthy from the first point of contact to the final product. I am able to take on new challenges enthusiastically, and I also like to use my initiative. The only flaw that you could find in me is that I have to produce my work to a very high standard and I thrive to meet my own personal demand.
I hold numerous qualifications, including typing diplomas as well as Administration, ICT and Business Studies. I have a wealth of experience in such tasks as copy typing, document presentation and audio typing. I am also proficient in using all the major Microsoft programs, and I am also currently learning how to use SAGE bookkeeping.
I am very much looking forward to grow on my experiences that I have already gained as well as being able to launch the company on a professional level and building on the foundations of the company.
