Maximise the effectiveness of your business with a little kindness, a lot of organisation, and some well-needed joy.
It all starts with a call & a cuppa
The Virtual Assistant your business needs
Tackling one task at a time
Most business owners know the feeling of a mounting to-do list. Everything feels urgent and there simply aren’t enough hours in the day. Perhaps the worst bit is seeing your peers forge ahead, while you’re treading water just keeping on top of client work and that never-ending admin.
The truth is, you’re not on your own feeling this way. And, you don’t have to be on your own to change it either.
Using VA services is the secret. My associates and I manage your business tasks for you, so you can get on with running your business. From organising your diary all the way to project managing corporate events, whatever you need us to do, we’re ready.
A Virtual Assistant for small to medium businesses, solopreneurs, and freelancers.
Organised, consistent & calm
The clients who work with Pip Doleman & Associates are all driven, ambitious, and focused. They know what they want, and they know their obstacles.
Many are on the cusp of upscaling their business, but they need a little extra support to do that.
This might look like you switching your focus from admin to strategy. Or, moving on from dealing with spreadsheets to concentrate on sales. Perhaps you just hate dealing with social media, and delegating that to us will give you hours of your day back. A good Virtual Assistant can handle all of this for you.
Whether you’re a therapist or a tech whiz, or a coach or a consultant, or a dog walker or dentist, or a property developer or a party planner, my team and I can help.
You’ve got specific, personalised support ready and waiting.
A virtual assistant like no other
Meet Pip (AKA your business’s new best friend)
Many years of PA, executive assistant, and admin experience have taught me: I am three things. I am efficient, organised, and helpful. (Perhaps three of the most useful and in-demand skills a VA could have!)
But more importantly than anything, is that I love working with people. It’s one of the reasons a few of my clients are neurodivergent. They know I’ll always meet them with non-judgement, calmness, and a whole lot of supportive structure. I get a real kick out of working with people who are passionate about what they do, who are purpose-led and believe in the value their work brings.
I’ve got that knack for working with all types of personalities, and connecting with other humans is just my favourite thing ever.
So, whatever your specific business is, and whatever tasks you need help with, my VA skills and my easy-going ways mean I’ve got you. And, we may even have a little fun too.
Your business is in safe hands.
A whole team of virtual assistants to support your independent business
Trust us, we’ve got this
Once you and I have met, and we’ve worked out exactly how Pip Doleman & Associates can help, I’ll assign one of my amazing team to support you. Each of us has our own specific set of skills. Getting the best for your business is always our priority.
Emma
Emma is our social media/ tech super star VA. From Instagram to LinkedIn, she’ll promote your business, schedule your posts, write your captions, and take “make Canva graphics” straight off your to do list.
As well as knowing small businesses inside out, she’s also organised, efficient, and has great communication skills.
Kathy
Kathy’s incredible attention to detail is just one of the reasons she’s a brilliant VA.
From her home in London, she’ll look after your inbox, diary management, proofreading, travel itineraries, Canva content creation, data entry, filing systems, research, and customer services support. Just imagine how much you’ll be able to do with Kathy on your team…
Nancy
Nancy has worked for more than a decade in the corporate and third sectors, and then found a new passion as a VA. Her admin and support skills range from email and diary management to bookkeeping and data entry.
In fact, she can turn her hand to any task necessary to keep an organisation operating smoothly.
Sophie
Sophie’s creativity lends itself perfectly to managing your newsletters and social media. Imagine ticking those tasks off your to-do list every month.
And with a background in Project Management, her organisational skills are second to none. She’ll sort those niggly business admin tasks for you so you can focus on the work you love.
(Mostly) UK-Based Virtual Assistants – fully remote
Pip Doleman & Associates work with UK businesses. We’re sort of tied by the time zone, you see. Sometimes our lovely clients need to call us at a moment’s notice, or we need to work through something on a Zoom call. So, as long as you’re based somewhere in the UK, we’d be delighted to work with you.
Personally, I live in beautiful Leicestershire where I get to walk in the countryside and enjoy hot chocolates or Earl Greys in cafes in the surrounding villages and market towns. The VAs in our team are based in London, Aberdeenshire, Bristol and… Valencia (told you it was “mostly” UK based, didn’t I?).
Thanks to technology (and the organisation we’re famous for) whether you’re in Cumbria or Cornwall, we can support your business.
How would a Virtual Assistant work for my business?
Retainers: working with you, your way
Life’s complicated enough, and you’re already incredibly busy. So, everything I do is to make your life simpler.
That starts with our Retainer Packages of VA support. You and I will meet and discuss what you need help with. I’ll recommend how many hours per week or month you’d need, and once you’re happy to get going, my team and I will get started.
Behind the scenes in your business, we’ll take care of all the tasks you don’t want to do, you don’t know how to do, or you don’t have time to do.
Every month I’ll send you a report of our tracked hours and an invoice. Throughout the month I’m only ever a phone call away should anything change in your business.
Told you it was simple, didn’t I?
My Values
Respectful
Kind
Honest
Effective
Temporary and short term Virtual Assistant support
One-off support packages to get you
out of a pickle
There are lots of reasons you might need short- term support for your small business. Perhaps a team member is on holiday or is unwell. Or perhaps you’re just back from parental leave. Maybe you’ve just signed a huge, big client (well done!) and you need a bit of help onboarding them.
This is exactly where our Project Packages help. Together, you and I will define what you need, how my team and I will help, and for how long you’ll need us. Then, we’ll get right to work on supporting you behind the scenes while you get on with running your business.
While we take care of your admin, you take care of your clients.
(Or, put your feet up and have a well-earned rest. No judgement here.)
