Hi, I'm Nicola

I help start-ups, entrepreneurs and small businesses to free up more time, focus and headspace. My goal is to get you back to doing what you do best: growing your business.

With a PA, EA, and administrative background, I offer over 15 years experience. Combined with my genuine passion for supporting business professionals, I consistently help busy executives overcome the challenges of running a small business so they can get back to what is important.

 

Let's get your freedom back

Whether it’s the freedom to focus on growing your business, the freedom to spend more time with your family, or even simply the freedom from doing those mundane tasks that you hate – whatever support you need, I can help.

As an experienced, reliable and diligent Virtual Assistant, I am as passionate to see your business succeed as I am my own.

Let me help you to work smarter, not harder. By outsourcing and delegating even the smallest of tasks, together we can transform the way you work, free up your time and get you your freedom back.

Why hire a Virtual Assistant?

For many entrepreneurs and small businesses, outsourcing to a VA is the key to successfully scaling their business. But it’s important to first understand the differences and, more importantly, the benefits of working with a freelance Virtual Assistant before you decide if it is the right solution for you.

"Do what you do best, and outsource the rest"

When you run your own business, it can feel overwhelming to wear many different hats – not only are you the CEO, you’re also business development, sales, HR, marketing, finance, recruitment and administration. You may work alone, or you may well have a team that supports you, but inevitably it all circles back to you.

You’ll have started your business for a variety of reasons, but most likely you wanted more freedom; to be your own boss, to build an inspiring company and make a difference. But now, you’re so busy you’re missing deadlines, you’re working more hours than ever before, and even simple tasks are taking you hours to complete, and all the passion and drive you felt for your business is starting to dwindle away. 

It really doesn’t have to be this way… it’s time to outsource, feel supported and get some freedom back!

You can do anything, but not everything...

Let’s be honest here; it is not humanly possibly for you to do everything in your business, no matter how hard you try. By not outsourcing and continuing to grow your business yourself, it’s inevitable you’ll burn out before you really get started.

Whilst it might feel like doing everything yourself is easier and quicker, in reality by not outsourcing your administration you’re creating a roadblock for yourself by spending all your time doing tedious tasks like chasing up invoices, booking travel, creating spreadsheets or managing your diary. This is precious time taken away from doing what you should be doing; growing and developing the business.

If this sounds familiar, you need a Virtual Assistant, and if you need an excellent Virtual Assistant, you need The Freedom VA. Just as you’re an expert in what you do, I’m an expert in what I do.

I offer affordable, flexible remote business support, starting from £30 per hour, allowing you to use as much time as you need. For more details, visit my prices and packages page.

Testimonials

"As the CEO of a very lean start-up, I did not think I could afford a VA. However, the business and I could not have survived the last 6 months without Nicky and it turns out she’s more than paid for herself! She's helped us to chase outstanding invoices, book travel promptly (and correctly), and she's been pivotal in us securing £500K of investment by allowing me to focus on fundraising. Most importantly, she's stopped me from burning out, supported me through extreme overwhelm and helped me and the team to work more efficiently.

I’m now able to spend more time with my family and for the first time am building the successful work life balance I’ve always dreamed of.

I honestly can't imagine working without Nicky now. Not only is it a genuine pleasure working with her, we’ve also got to a stage where I think she can actually read my mind and is ticking things off before I’ve even considered they need doing! I now actually have time to proactively grow the business (instead of constantly reacting to things!)

So if you are waiting for that perfect moment to hire a VA all I can say, is do it now! The value it brings will far outweigh the cost.

Oh and make sure your VA is Nicky, because she's an absolute dream to work with, may have actual psychic-abilities or magical powers and is a super admin whiz!".​

Lou,

Previously overwhelmed CEO, Needi

"Working with Nicky has been an absolute pleasure, she's incredibly helpful, committed and understanding of the businesses needs".​

Emma,

Owner, Animals at Home​ Southampton

"When we started our glamping and camping business, we realised quickly  the sheer volume of admin that was going to be needed was overwhelming. As a start-up, we were no where near the point of being able to hire an employee but with only two of us it was a constant struggle to balance our time. We'd actually never heard of working with a Virtual Assistant before, but we were so delighted we found Nicky. Being able to tap into her experience and have her support us in such a flexible way was so integral to our success in that challenging first year.

Emma C,

Director, Big Sky Oasis

"I took on three clients and found myself incredibly busy. Between servicing my clients and doing the admin I was working 12-14 hour days. Nicky was great - she took so many time consuming tasks off my plate and allowed me to have a social life again! "​

Katy Wright,

Consultant

"As someone who is frankly terrible with organisation and administration, Nicky has been an absolute godsend to me. She is incredibly passionate and full of ideas and suggestions for ways to work more efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone". ​

Entrepreneur, CBP Portfolio
