I help owner-operated businesses get their numbers, paperwork and systems to a place where they make sense — without hiring an in-house accountant or a full-time assistant.

Services

Flexible ways to work together

Whether you need ongoing support or help with a specific project, I offer flexible options built around your business needs.

Organized desk with laptop, coffee cup, notebook and eye glasses.

Monthly retainers

Reliable, ongoing bookkeeping and administrative support to keep your day-to-day operations organized and running smoothly.

Hourly blocks

Flexible blocks of time for seasonal busy periods, paperwork, scheduling, or those tasks that simply need to get done.

Fixed-price projects

Focused, one-time projects to clean up spreadsheets, organize records, clear backlogs, or build practical administrative systems.

Who this is for

You're excellent at the actual work. The back office is a different skill — and usually the first thing to slide when a business gets busy. That's the gap this fills.

How we'd work together

Remote, straightforward, and built around your business — not the other way around.

First

A short conversation

We talk through what's piling up, what's working, and where you'd get the most relief first.

Then

A plan and a price

You'll get a clear scope — whether that's a one-time reset or ongoing monthly support — before anything starts.

Ongoing

A routine you can rely on

Regular check-ins, organized records, and a system you can hand off or step away from when you need to.

The Benefits

√   You get your time back.
Every hour you spend on invoices, scheduling, or chasing paperwork is an hour you're not spending on the parts of your business you actually started it for. I take that stuff off your plate.

√   You get one person, not a rotating team.
No hand-offs, no re-explaining your business to someone new. You work with me — someone who actually knows how you operate.

√   You get support that flexes with you.
Slow month? Busy season? Support scales up or down without a renegotiation every time.

√   You get someone who's already fluent in the tools you use.
QBO, Wave, ClickUp, Trello, Google Workspace — I plug in and get moving, no ramp-up time.

√   You get to stop carrying it all yourself.
If you're spending too much time on paperwork and not enough time running your business, we should talk.

About Me

Hi, I’m Ana.

After nearly 40 years with the Canadian federal government, I’ve built my career around keeping things organized, solving problems and making sure the details get done.

Now, through The Remote Method, I help small business owners take control of the administrative and bookkeeping tasks that can pile up while they’re busy running their business.

I bring practical experience, attention to detail and a simple approach to getting things organized.

No complicated systems. No unnecessary fuss. Just a back office that works.
