A hundred small problems, found and taken off your plate
Most people I work with don’t have one big dramatic problem. They have the things that fell through the gaps, the system that doesn’t talk to the other system, the job that only works because someone remembers to do it. We find those, sort them, and take them off your plate.

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.

f.a.q.
You have questions. wE have answers.
We help across four areas: operations and systems (mapping workflows, fixing bottlenecks, and building systems your team can run without you in the middle), growth and consulting (clear priorities and a practical plan, backed by your real data), digital marketing and support (website, content, and social media kept active so your business stays visible), and business management (invoicing, debtor follow-up, cashflow visibility, and reporting handled).
The best place to start is usually an Operational Health Check, which pinpoints the gaps before we fix anything.
It’s a clear, structured look at how your business really runs, where time’s leaking, what depends on one person, and what to fix first.
It’s the low risk way to get started with Ember Growth, and you come away with a plain language plan that’s yours to keep.
The Operational Health Check starts from $895 + GST. You get a full picture of how your operations are running and a prioritised plan for what to fix first and that plan is yours whether or not we carry on working together
Four steps. First we listen to you, and to the people doing the day to day work. Then I map out how things actually run. Then I work out what matters most, weighing what each issue costs you against how hard it is to fix. Finally, we sit down together and walk through a plan with a recommended first 90 days.
Both. The Health Check gives you the plan, and from there we can roll up our sleeves and do the work with you, setting up the systems, sorting the payroll and admin, fixing the processes, or hand it over for your team to run. It’s your call.
Entirely up to you. There’s no lock in. Some people take the plan and run with it themselves; others have us stay on to do the work or provide ongoing operational support. The Health Check stands on its own either way.
