SMALL & MEDIUM SIZE BUSINESSES


You didn’t start your business to do admin at 9pm

We help businesses build the systems, processes and visibility they need to run smoothly, without everything depending on the owner.


You started your business because you’re good at what you do and not  because you wanted to manage people, chase information, solve the same problems every day, or keep everything running.

As your business grows, so does the complexity.

More customers. More staff. More software. More moving parts.

What used to work no longer does.

Not because your team isn’t capable. 
Because the business has outgrown the way it operates.


Does any of this sound familiar?


  • Every decision still comes back to you
  • Different people do the same job in different ways
  • You’re constantly answering questions your team should be able to answer
  • Important information is scattered across emails, spreadsheets and notebooks
  • You’re so busy keeping things running that there’s no time to improve them

“They created better structure and took pressure off the team, so we can stay focused on delivery.”

Some problems take longer than two weeks to unwind. We can sit alongside you on a retained basis, to coordinate, implement and hold things accountable so improvements actually stick.

  • CRM setup and process integration
  • Digital marketing coordination
  • Administrative and financial coordination
  • Reporting dashboards and visibility
  • Team workflow documentation
  • Strategic planning support

This is for you if….

  • You run a business with 5 to 15 staff
  • You’re the founder or a senior leader who is operationally overloaded
  • You know something is broken but aren’t sure exactly what
  • You want practical fixes, not theoretical frameworks
  • You’re ready to stop being the bottleneck in your own business

Client Testimonials

Work delivered through Your Local Admin and Ember Growth

I reached a point in my bakery business where I felt stuck, full of ideas but lacking a clear strategy for growth. That’s when I engaged with Susanna. She approached the process with genuine interest and professionalism, asking the right questions and offering thoughtful guidance.

It quickly became clear this was more than just consultancy, it was a collaborative partnership.
The business health check identified areas for improvement, and she delivered a tailored strategy, implementation plan, and pricing calculator aligned with my goals.

I now have a clear roadmap and the confidence to take my business forward.

The team at Ember Growth have supported us across payroll, operational systems and website improvements.

They helped us implement a new timekeeping system, improve parts of our document management processes, and continue to support updates to our website and SEO.

What we appreciate most is that they understand how businesses actually operate day to day. Their support has helped create better structure and taken pressure off the team, allowing us to stay focused on delivery while continuing to improve how the business runs behind the scenes.

f.a.q.

You have questions. wE have answers.

Can you help a small business that feels disorganised?

Yes, that’s exactly what we do. Most of the businesses we work with don’t have one big problem, they have a hundred small ones that pile up.

We find them, sort them, and get the behind the scenes running so well it stops stealing your evenings.

Everything in my business depends on me. Can you fix that?

Yes. When a business only works because one person remembers how everything’s done, that person becomes the bottleneck.

We get what’s in your head into proper systems and processes, so the business can keep running smoothly even when you step away.

Do I need to be a big business to work with you?

Not at all. Ember Growth is built for small and medium businesses, in fact, 97% of New Zealand businesses are small businesses, and they’re exactly who I started this for.

We’re growing fast and our systems can’t keep up. Can you help?

Yes. Fast growth has a way of outpacing the systems you started with, the spreadsheet everyone emails around, the process that lived in someone’s memory. I bring structure that matches the size you’re becoming, without slowing you down to do it.

How much of my time will this take?

Less than you’d think. We do the heavy lifting, we just need enough of your time early on to understand how things really work. The whole point is to give you time back, not take more of it.

Let’s talk about what’s actually going on

“Free session. No pitch. Just a practical conversation.”
