Write it down
Anything done more than twice becomes a documented process in your own workspace. No knowledge hostages.
Not an agency, not a marketplace, not a rotating pool of contractors. One experienced operator who learns your business and stays with it.
I spent years watching small businesses cycle through virtual assistants. The pattern was always the same: someone capable arrives, spends a month learning the ropes, then leaves — and all that context walks out with them. The business is back where it started, only more tired.
Clerkly is built the opposite way. I take on a small number of clients so I can go deep on each one. I write down every recurring process as we go, in a document you own, so the knowledge stays in your business whatever happens next.
The other half of the story is technical. Alongside the admin work I build and maintain websites, wire up automations, and fix the small software problems that usually sit in a queue for months. That combination — an assistant who can also ship — is what most of my clients hire me for.
These aren’t marketing lines. They’re the operating agreement I hold myself to on every engagement.
Anything done more than twice becomes a documented process in your own workspace. No knowledge hostages.
If a task is a waste of money, if a deadline is unrealistic, if I’m the wrong person — you hear it early, not after the invoice.
Shared access through a password manager, 2FA on every account, least privilege by default, and a clean offboarding whenever we part ways.
A weekly summary of what shipped, what stalled and what I need from you. Including the weeks that didn’t go well.
You shouldn’t have to pay someone to learn your stack on the clock. If it’s on this list, I can pick it up on day one. If it isn’t, I’ll learn it on my own time before I bill you for it.
A decade of remote work, most of it spent learning how small businesses really operate when nobody is watching.
A deliberately small book of retainer clients across SaaS, e-commerce and professional services, plus fixed-scope web projects.
Built and maintained marketing sites, storefronts and internal tools for small teams — and learned how much of a developer’s job is really communication.
Ran front-line support for a growing online business: ticket queues, macros, escalation paths, and the reporting that told the founders what was breaking.
Calendars, inboxes, travel, expenses and the invisible work that keeps an executive functional. Still the foundation of everything I do.
A short call, a candid answer, and a written proposal within a day if it makes sense to go ahead.
