The Business Owner
Most small businesses are homegrown, services or products that you excel at and want to offer to the masses. For some business owners, they are escaping from a career or employment, where they know you can provide better quality or better customer experience. Did you expect to grow so fast? Do you know how to run a business? Can you keep up with your success? Is technology, not your forte? Or Is it all just out of your reach to organize or manage?
You need support, however, an office manager's salary is anywhere from $55,000 to $95,000 a year and an administrative assistant's is $35,000 to $45,000 a year. And for some small businesses that is almost half of what their profits are. (We can dream, can’t we?)That is why more and more businesses are seeking a virtual office manager. You will save on office space costs, employee insurance, employee taxes, personal time off, and office equipment. Second Office Inc. is the solution.
We offer several types of services from data entry, scheduling, customer service support, billing, and collections just to name a few. Jobs can be a one-time cleanup/catchup, project-based, or as needed.
The Solo Law Firm
For many attorneys, you went to law school because you wanted to help people or make a difference in the world. You hung up your shingle, and the phones started ringing.
Shortly thereafter, scheduling is becoming a nightmare and you are in and out of the office “making a difference” and missing the next person in need of help. Or you are in the office, and you are out of copier paper. Or did Ms. Smith pay her retainer? Has Mr. Johnson called back? Better yet, you have double-booked your initial consult, at the same time you are scheduled to be in court.
Are you an Attorney or an Office Manager? You went to Law school to practice law, not to “manage” a law firm.
I have made it a career of managing attorneys and their firms. I understand the Rules of Professional Conduct; the Ethics of a Paralegal, client confidentiality, and the Unauthorized Practice of Law. I also have a certificate in paralegal studies and experience in several practice areas of law.
