Does this sound like you?
“I just wish I had the time! I’ve got behind with my paperwork and can’t get caught up. I’m missing family events because I have to get it done. It just keeps piling up and I’m feeling overwhelmed. If I could sort the backlog, I’d be able to keep on top of it. I need to get it organised so I can get my weekends back.”
Virtual Office Orkney helps busy business owners get their paperwork done so they have time to do something else.
With 25 years experience in teaching I’ve become highly organised, adept at multi-tasking and used to working to a tight schedule. I have a variety of skills including word processing, reporting programs, data handling, time management and communication, as well as proofreading, researching, collating of information, report writing, record keeping and evaluating resources. I understand the importance of confidentiality and data protection.
Do you have a cardboard box where you chuck all your business receipts? I’ll happily take that box and organise everything into a neat folder.
Is your email inbox bursting at the seams? I can sort through your inbox, unsubscribing and filing as I go.
Bringing order to chaos is what I enjoy!

What do my customers say?
“My ‘business’ isn’t really a business; it’s a ‘side-hustle’. I have a very demanding full-time job as a teacher, and the last thing I want to do at the end of the day is financial admin for my side-hustle! It’s great to be able to just throw all the relevant paperwork into a box, which I hand over to Freya a couple of times a year. Within a day or two, she’s got it sorted out and filed for me, entries made in a spreadsheet, and questions identified; I can take her work and hand it straight to the accountant at the year-end. I highly recommend her services, for speed and efficiency, but most of all for the peace of mind.” Air b&b owner.
“I’ve been using Virtual Office Orkney’s services for several years now, and I couldn’t be happier. She’s an absolute gem – incredibly down-to-earth with a great sense of humour, which makes working with her not only productive but genuinely enjoyable. Beyond that, she’s exceptionally organised, lightning-fast with her work, and always eager to learn new systems or processes when needed. What I really value is her consistent respect for any requests I make, nothing is ever too much trouble, and she handles everything with professionalism and care. It’s rare to find someone so efficient and reliable, yet so easy to work with. I’m very happy to continue working with her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing top-notch support.” Orkney based business owner
“Running a small business can be overwhelming. Dealing with clients, staff and project management takes all available time and administration tasks are often relegated to evenings or the weekend, which should be time to rest and reflect. Then I met Freya, Orkney’s first virtual assistant, who contacted me to have a website built for her business. We stayed in touch and gradually I realised I really needed help as overwhelm was becoming a huge problem. Freya completely sorted out my inboxes, started taking care of invoicing and now does all bank reconciliations so we’re always up to date for the accountant come VAT return time. This is a huge weight off my shoulders! Freya is reliable, responsive, proactive, professional and trustworthy and I can’t recommend her services enough if you too are feeling overwhelmed running your business. Just get in touch with Freya, you can thank me later :-)” Johanna Pieterman, Orcadia Design Ltd.
