Back Office Automation

Most small businesses have a stack of repetitive back office tasks that eat hours every week: exporting a report from one tool and uploading it to another, generating invoices from job records, updating a master spreadsheet after each transaction, sending the same internal summary every Monday. These tasks are important, but they don’t need a human to do them.

We map the back office workflows that take your time, identify what can be automated, and build the connections. Data syncs between tools. Reports generate and distribute themselves. Invoices go out when jobs close. You focus on the work that actually needs you.

How it flows

Something happens in your back office (invoice, data change, report) → we sync or process it → we update the right place and notify who needs to know. Tell us what you do; we’ll automate it.

Tools it connects

• Your tools
• Connectors
• Your calendar or sheets

What we set up

• Discovery session to map your current back office workflows and identify automation targets
• Invoice generation triggered by job completion, payment, or a time-based schedule
• Data sync between disconnected tools: CRM, accounting, spreadsheets, and project management
• Automated weekly or monthly reporting: generated and emailed without manual export
• Internal notifications when key thresholds are hit: revenue targets, overdue invoices, job counts
• Works with QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Xero, HubSpot, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more

Who it's for

• Small businesses spending hours on repetitive data entry or manual reporting
• Service businesses that generate invoices manually after every completed job
• Operations that use multiple disconnected tools that don’t talk to each other
• Owners who want visibility into their numbers without building reports by hand each week

Frequently asked questions

How do we figure out what to automate?

We start with a discovery call where you walk us through your current workflow. We look for tasks that happen on a schedule or trigger, involve moving data between tools, or follow the same pattern every time. Those are the prime targets.

What tools do you work with?

QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Xero, HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Zapier, and Make are common. If you use something else, tell us and we’ll check if there’s a connection available.

How long does it take to set up?

Simple automations (single trigger, single action) can be live in a week. More complex multi-step workflows with conditional logic typically take 2–3 weeks including testing.

What if our process changes after the automation is built?

We document everything we build and can update the automation when your process changes. Most clients treat it like a light maintenance relationship, occasional tweaks as the business evolves.

Is this different from hiring a VA for admin tasks?

For rules-based, repeating tasks: yes, automation is faster, doesn’t make errors, and runs 24/7. For judgment-based tasks that require context or flexibility, a VA still makes more sense. Most businesses end up with both: automation for the predictable stuff, people for the rest.
