“I believe delegation is a leadership skill, freedom is built, not wished for, & businesses should support full lives, not consume them”

Organized, proactive operations specialist and virtual assistant with experience supporting women founders, CEOs, and growing teams. Skilled in managing complex schedules, streamlining inbox flow, coordinating projects, and optimizing systems, all with calm follow-through and attention to detail.

Hi, I’m Emily.

I support women entrepreneurs who are ready to stop doing everything themselves.

My background spans operations, admin, and financial support for service-based businesses, with a focus on systems that actually work in real life.

I am currently “walking the walk” of running a business that is life-first, but profit prioritized. I am a nomad mom living in South America while supporting businesses globally. I enjoy coffee shops, the secret sunset spots the travel guides don’t tell you about, and seeing the beauty our diverse world has to offer. I am obsessed with seeing women win, and can pick up just about any new skill if I know it’ll benefit my clients!

  • Inbox & calendar management

  • Client onboarding & automating CRM workflows

  • SOP creation, project management & report prep

  • Bookkeeping services (certified professional bookkeeper)

  • Google workspace, Microsoft Office Suite

  • Dubsado, Honeybook, Airtable, & Zapier

  • Thrivecart, Kit, Mailchimp, Canva, Trello

3: Onboarding

I will request access to the systems I will be working in, log ins to relevant accounts, and current SOP or systems documentation.

4: You breathe again

Maintaining (and expanding) your operations with monthly ongoing support will give you back the time to either spend dreaming & creating within your business OR catch the next flight to the mountains and buy back your time, knowing your business is in good hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Emily Runs Ops provides remote virtual assistant and operational support for women-led businesses.  Support can include both day-to-day administrative tasks and higher-level backend coordination, such as:

    • Inbox and calendar management

    • Client communication and follow-up

    • Newsletter formatting and email marketing support

    • Content scheduling and basic content repurposing

    • Resource and lead magnet creation

    • SOP documentation and workflow organization

    • Project coordination and deadline tracking

    • Light tech setup (forms, automations, platforms)

    I focus on more than just completing tasks.  My goal is to help create organized, repeatable systems that allow your business to run smoothly without constant oversight.

  • Both are available, depending on your needs.

    Most clients work with Emily Runs Ops on an ongoing monthly retainer for consistent operational support. This ensures your inbox, backend systems, and internal workflows stay organized and functional.

    Project-based work is ideal for clearly defined needs such as:

    • Creating SOPs for scalability

    • Setting up workflows

    • Creating organized digital resources

    • Launch or promotion support

    • Newsletter or content creation

    If you’re unsure what level of support you need, we’ll clarify scope during the alignment call.

  • Yes. If you’re creating valuable content but struggling to keep up with execution, I can support with:

    • Formatting and scheduling newsletters

    • Uploading and scheduling blog posts

    • Repurposing long-form content into email or social snippets

    • Creating PDFs, guides, and client resources

    • Organizing your content calendar

    You stay focused on your voice and vision, I help ensure it gets delivered consistently.

  • Yes!  As a Certified Professional Bookkeeper & Quickbooks ProAdvisor, bookkeeping is available as a separate, specialized service.

    Operational support and bookkeeping serve different purposes. While operational support focuses on workflow, client systems, and administrative organization, bookkeeping focuses on financial organization, transaction categorization, reporting, and maintaining clean records.

    If you require bookkeeping support, we can determine whether it should be integrated into your monthly operations retainer or scoped as a standalone service..

  • Many virtual assistants operate task-by-task.

    Emily Runs Ops works from an operational lens.

    That means:

    • Proactive communication

    • Process improvement

    • Documentation and standardization

    • Identifying inefficiencies

    • Thinking beyond “what’s assigned” & an awareness of how your moving pieces connect

    You’re not hiring someone to complete checklists. You’re bringing in support that reduces your role as the bottleneck in your own business.

  • You’re likely ready if:

    • You’re spending multiple hours per week inside your inbox

    • Client onboarding feels inconsistent

    • You delay projects because admin work piles up

    • You feel like nothing runs unless you personally manage it

    • You value your time at a higher rate than your admin tasks require

    Hiring a virtual assistant is an investment in scalability, focus, and sustainability.

  • After submitting an inquiry form, we schedule an alignment call to clarify needs, scope, communication style, and expectations.

    Once aligned, onboarding includes access setup, workflow review, priority mapping, and a structured support plan.

  • Emily Runs Ops operates fully remotely, supporting clients across time zones.

    Remote operational support allows for flexibility, efficiency, and continuity without requiring physical presence.
