Business Operations
Hi, I’m Kate, and I make
businesses run smoother.
With a background in business management, event coordination, and business support, I’ve spent the last decade (or so) helping professionals stay organised, efficient, and focused on what they do best. For the past seven years, I’ve worked closely with creatives and learning & development professionals - brilliant at what they do, but often struggling with the behind-the-scenes operations.
That’s where I come in.
I have no interest in being on stage or leading the room, but I love helping the people who do. Whether you're a speaker, facilitator or coach, I take the operational burden off your plate so you can focus on delivering your expertise.
I am based in the Margaret River region on Wadandi boodja, but I work with people all over Australia.
You focus on delivering.
I’ll handle the rest.
You’re great at what you do, and you love it. But running the business behind it? That’s another story.
That’s where I come in.
I help solopreneurs and small businesses streamline operations, get organised, and create simple systems that make work feel easier.
Full Business Management – Let me run the back end while you focus on delivering.
Business Management & Virtual Assistance (monthly support) – Big thinking + small details, all in one package.
One-Off Business Tune-Ups – A focused power session to sort out what’s not working.
Tailored Support – From exit strategies to tender applications, I can step in where you need it most.
Not sure what you need? Let’s have a quick chat and figure it out.
What it’s like to work with me
I’m a straight talker, but always adaptable to different personalities and needs. My approach is strategic yet hands-on — always starting with the end goal and working backward.
Whether you need a full operational overhaul or a one-off strategy session, I’ll help you take control of your business without the stress.
No overcomplication. If a system doesn’t work for you, we change it.
No judgment. If your inbox has 4,000 unread emails, I see a fun challenge, not a disaster.
Practical solutions. Tailored to your work style, your business, and where things get stuck.
Let’s make your business work for you, not the other way around.
Testimonials
Business Management
Kate (or, as I like to call her - Captain) is integral to the operation of Modern Custodian, but more than that, she embodies what it means to be one.
Kate works behind the scenes. She does the contracts, the calendar invites, the money stuff. She stays out of the spotlight, but make no mistake, she shines her own light.
A general needs his captain, and Kate leads with precision, high standards and accountability. She keeps me sane.
Strategic Planning
Due diligence is so important for business decisions involving change, so it’s a no-brainer to get help from someone skilled in managing business functions. It’s peace of mind knowing all the right considerations have been made, and it’s so much easier to move forward with a clear, task-based action plan. For us, we had a wild chat about everything — and Kate went away, made sense of it all, and put it on paper.
