Empowering Micro-Businesses for a Sustainable and Inclusive Future
Who do I work with?
All of my clients are incredibly creative women, who own micro-businesses, ranging from childminders to psychotherapists and from teachers to hormone specialists.
I love working with neurodivergent people and feel an immense sense of pride when they breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that their office work is up to date.
Here is some feedback from some of the wonderful people I have had the pleasure to work with.
I have worked with Fiona on several projects. Most notable was on the COP26 preparations for Scientists Warning Europe. The work required Fiona to bring together her expertise in sustainability and climate action with her VA services. Fiona coordinated and managed a team to find, contact and communicate with 20,000 scientists World-wide.
She also worked on a dozen press conferences held at COP26, helped secure the publishing of the 4th scientists’ warnings into action scientific paper and the associated film which was launched at COP26. Excellent input and work all round!
Fiona is the fourth emergency service in my life! When we began working together, I thought she could help me with basic admin tasks that I struggle to stay on top of, like emails and booking clients. How wrong I was!
Fiona has changed my business beyond recognition! I feel that I have a proper team member who truly understands my needs and can foresee challenges ahead of time. Fiona is genuinely invested in wanting to see me succeed, consistently going above and beyond any of my expectations. Working with her has enabled me to completely up-level my business in ways I never imagined.
My business has grown significantly since working together and there is no way I could manage it without her support and inspiring ideas to continuously improve things. She can fill in all the pieces that I cannot and I would be lost without her.
Fiona is kind, understanding, nonjudgemental, and always able to fix the things that my ADHD brain finds impossible!
Fiona has been an invaluable support to me as a neurodiverse business owner and tutor. She has assisted me in navigating tasks that I find challenging and time-consuming, demonstrating an instinctive understanding of my needs and challenges.
Fiona excels at identifying my obstacles and finding neurodiverse-friendly approaches to overcome them. As a result of her support, I have undergone a transformation in my ability to manage my business, now being able to focus on developing my neurodiverse strengths and more effectively manage a thriving business.
I have worked with Fiona for almost two and a half years, and I couldn’t be happier.
As someone who is neurodivergent, maintaining a consistent position has been a challenge throughout my life. However, working with Fiona has significantly benefited my mental well-being.
During my time here, I’ve received valuable training to enhance my skills and have been provided with accommodations that enable me to thrive without the risk of burnout.
Fiona has shown remarkable understanding and openness in supporting me to acquire new skills, all while ensuring I’m not penalized for the challenges I face
Fiona says she is an organisation junkie and this is 100% my experience- and that is said with love of course. Fiona has on a number of occasions waded in and sorted out the admin side of my work, which is not my favourite thing, and left me feeling rationalised and having all the right bits of paper in the right place at the right time.
I am a childminder, and whilst I am really good at my job, the admin tends to get left to one side. Since using Fiona, I have caught up with all the Admin, my invoicing has been consistently issued on time and I can quite honestly say that Fiona has taken all the stress out of my administration. She is extremely efficient, very flexible and I couldn’t commend her more highly.
It is a pleasure to work with Fiona. She is exceptionally efficient, assertive, with excellent communication and organisational skills. Not only she excels with people but also in managing multiple tasks and projects. She makes sure things happen timely and smoothly besides mastering Office, LinkedIn, and other digital skills. Fiona is always in good spirits, performing with excellence, and inspiring commitment and dedication. I always learn from working with her!
Fiona is one of the best people I have had a privilege to work with. Very enthusiastic, trustworthy, reliable, hard working, with exceptional management skills. Also very organised and passionate person. She gives that ‘extra’ something to her work – no doubt, her customers are in good hands 🙂 Highly recommended!
Fiona is just what anybody would want – communication is excellent, she is quick on the uptake, reliable and competent. Essentially we can leave everything to her, and it gets done, well and efficiently.
I have had the pleasure of working with Fiona for a number of months now. She is efficient – always gets things done on time, makes suggestions to improve things. She is tenacious, considerate and conscientious. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
I cannot thank Fiona enough. She is a life-saver. The thought of paperwork and technology scares the life out of me and I’m very last minute.com! Your Business Needs Me is amazing. When I call at the last minute needing something, Fiona can normally turn it around within the hour. Her calmness and patience are second to none, it is just what I need, as I know I can rely on her to get the job done and know what I need – even when I don’t!
Everyone should have Fiona from Your Business Needs Me in their life. She brings her naturally positive, calm, efficient and extremely well organised manner and applies it to everything from reorganising and decluttering to getting finances and books up to date. I’ve used her on many different occasions for all kinds of tasks and I’ve yet to find something she can’t do. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
I worked with Fiona and really enjoyed our time together. Fiona was my manager and really knew every aspect of the job. She is articulate and I found her to be excellent in all communication as well as being great teacher. She is very knowledgeable on Sage and extremely organised and efficient in all that she does. She has really good values and always wants to do the best job. She is bright, funny, intelligent and was a joy to work with. I hope we can work together again one day.
Fiona was an excellent project co-ordinator for the configuration and delivery of the Boeing 777 when it was introduced as a new aircraft type into British Airways. Fiona always demonstrated great organisational skills and most importantly she was a great asset to the team because of her continual positive attitude. I would recommend Fiona for project co-ordination of any kind.
