Professional Partnership for Business Owners Who Need More Than Task Support

At Your PA and More, we don’t start with a list of tasks.We start with how you think, how you work, and where your time is best spent.

Our clients are capable, thoughtful business owners, often carrying too much responsibility themselves. They want work handled properly without having to manage every detail.

We provide an outcome-led professional partnership, combining experienced judgement, calm oversight, and practical execution so projects move forward with clarity and continuity. Where necessary we will oversee your projects being completed by skilled and trusted partners.

What this looks like in practice

Clients come to me with:

A clear brief or
A broad idea, concept, or outcome they want to achieve

From there, we:

Understand how they like to work
Determine what’s actually required
Identify what information is missing
Decide what can be progressed independently
Clarify once, clearly, if needed
Deliver what’s needed, not just what was requested

We don’t bounce problems back to you.

We contain complexity, make informed decisions, and keep work moving.

YOU get -

A proactive, experienced, strategic executive business assistant who can look at YOUR business with fresh eyes when you need them.
A professional, skilled, reliable business administration service, taking the weight off your shoulders
A range of different services and packages tailored to suit your business needs
An outcome based business service which is so much more cost effective than hiring an in-house employee

Never worked with a fractional executive assistant before? No problem.

It can be difficult for business owners to let go of control, to know that what they need is happening in the background - without their supervision. As a business owner myself, I understand that it can take time to build trust when outsourcing aspects of YOUR business to an external party.

You'll find it easy to work with Fern and Your PA...

A note of confidence from Anna Sheppard, Founder & CEO, Bambuddha Group.

You don’t know how much you need Fern until you have her working with you. As CEO of a Social Enterprise Fern's support as Executive Assistant is invaluable. What has been the most supportive is learning from her vast experience and her guidance around how to be assisted in a way that truly lightens the load and makes me the most productive. Friendly, professional and an asset to our small but growing team and organisation.

I work as a professional partner, not a task-taker.

You don’t need to explain everything perfectly or manage the process.
You can give me a clear brief or a broad idea and from there I determine what’s required and how best to move it forward.

If I need clarification, I ask once and clearly, so you don’t have to keep reloading context.

My role is to contain complexity, apply judgement, and deliver what’s truly needed - so you can stay focused on the work that matters most.

If decisions can be made responsibly, I make them.

If something materially affects outcome, cost, or risk, I bring it to you calmly and clearly.

I take responsibility for seeing work through properly — from start to finish.

You don’t need to manage the process or understand every step.
What matters is that the work is progressing, deadlines are met.
You can check in at any time you choose.

Any working relationship can take a while to work smoothly

I ensure that we carefully navigate the different personalities and their working styles
It's the same when you onboard a new onsite employee.
Confidentiality, time management, customer satisfaction and good communication matter!

I will ensure that each client is comfortable with our procedures -

how long we are spending on each task
how we are keeping track of it.

If you are at the point where doing everything yourself is no longer efficient, but handing things over still feels risky, that is usually a sign you do not need more hustle. You need the right support.

When you are ready, let’s talk through what would make the biggest difference in your business.
