Virtual assistant & bookkeeper · Surrey
Keep yourbusinessin orbit.
Admin, bookkeeping, HR and marketing support for small businesses and trades. An experienced pair of hands when you need them, without the cost of taking on staff.
Hello, I’m Amy
Twelve years of keeping businesses running smoothly.
Most of my career has been in construction and engineering, running the operations side so the people on the tools could get on with the job. I know how a busy trade business works, and I know what falls through the cracks.
TaskOrbit gives small businesses that same back-office support, remotely, for exactly the hours they need. Sarah and Jane, two experienced VAs, work alongside me, and you always deal with me directly.

FAQs
Good questions.
Everything people usually ask before working with a virtual assistant. Still wondering? Ask me directly.
What is a virtual assistant?
A self-employed professional who handles admin, bookkeeping, HR or marketing for your business remotely. You get experienced support without employing anyone.
Do you only work with trades?
No. I work with all kinds of small businesses, but my background is construction and engineering, so I understand how trade businesses run.
Do I need to be in Surrey?
Not at all. I’m based in Surrey, but everything is done remotely, so I work with clients anywhere in the UK.
How does this save me money?
When you employ someone you pay employer National Insurance, pension, holiday and sick pay, plus equipment. With a VA you pay only for the hours worked.
Is there a minimum contract?
No long contracts. Retainers roll monthly and can be cancelled with 30 days’ notice.
Is my data safe?
Yes. I follow UK GDPR, use a secure password manager to access your systems, and can sign a confidentiality agreement before we start.
Which software do you use?
Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and I’m happy to learn whatever you already use.
