Get five hours a week back. Guaranteed.

I find the admin eating your week and set up the right AI tools to take it off your plate. Fixed price, plain English, no tech degree required.

Book your AI assessment See how it works

Every tool I recommend works with what you already use: Xero, MYOB, Microsoft 365 or Google.

Hours reclaimed per week 5+ Or your assessment fee back.

You know AI could help. You just don't have time to work out how.

Chasing people

Hours lost every month chasing payments, paperwork and missing info.

Inbox overload

The same questions answered over and over, by email, one at a time.

BAS and EOFY crunch

Peak periods that swallow nights and weekends for the whole team.

Too many tools

Every week a new AI app promises the world. Which ones actually fit your business?

Manual data entry

Keying in invoices, forms and job details that software could capture for you.

Who I work with

Small businesses where admin eats the week.

Bookkeepers and accountants

Reconciliations, client chasing, BAS season and an inbox that never stops.

Trades and home services

Quotes written at night, missed calls, job scheduling and slow invoicing.

Allied health and clinics

Bookings, intake forms, reminders and notes that take longer than the appointment.

Professional services

Consultants, agencies and real estate: proposals, follow-ups and CRM upkeep.

About

An operator first. AI second.

I'm Nadine Wake. I've spent 15+ years running business transformation and operations projects, with a background in statistics and financial modelling.

Most recently I led the build of AI and automation inside a Melbourne finance and business coaching firm. I start with how your business actually runs, then pick the tools. Never the other way around.

Based in Melbourne, Australia. Working with businesses anywhere, in person or over Zoom.

Common questions

Do I need to be technical?

No. Everything is explained in plain English, and the tools I recommend are off-the-shelf and easy to use.

What about client data and privacy?

Every recommendation is checked for how it handles your clients' data, so you stay on the right side of your professional and privacy obligations.

Will it work with our existing software?

Yes. Every tool I recommend connects to what you already use, such as Xero, MYOB, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, through official integrations. Nothing gets ripped out or replaced.

Do I have to buy implementation?

No. The assessment stands on its own. Many businesses set the tools up themselves.
