Your time has a precise value
In a professional practice, the value of your time is measurable. An hour spent filing documents, looking for a meeting slot or chasing a fee note has a real cost, often far higher than that of an hour of secretarial work.
I work with self-employed professionals as a genuine administrative right hand: managing the diary and meetings, answering the phone, formatting documents, following up files and preparing invoicing. With the rigour, discretion and writing quality your professions demand.
What eats into your billable time
Coordinating meetings
Clients, colleagues, experts: finding a common date becomes a project in itself.
Formatting documents
Hours spent on presentation rather than substance.
Following up files
Documents to request, deadlines to watch, clients to keep informed.
Time-based invoicing
Unrecorded work, fee notes that are slow to go out.

Rigour, discretion, writing quality
Professional practices handle sensitive information and produce documents where form matters as much as substance. Every letter that leaves your office reflects on your image and your responsibility.
I pay particular attention to spelling, layout and respect for your templates, along with absolute discretion about the files you entrust to me. Working in three languages is a valuable asset, especially in Brussels.
