“After hearing about Mrs Tradie Office Lady on the radio, I decided to join, I quickly found it to be the perfect solution. Employing the admin staff in the past, it was a hassle every time they left. I ended up trying to do all the admin and then still had to train someone new up. With Mrs Tradie Office Lady, I never have to train another admin person again.
The Mrs Tradie team took over essential tasks such as managing Xero accounts, bank reconciliations, bill payments, and health and safety compliance. They also handled quotes efficiently. They got our Xero back on track, and now I can trust the figures and know our cash flow status daily. It helps me sleep at night, knowing it’s done right.
One of the standout benefits has been the excellent communication with the Mrs Tradie team. I’m in and out of the office and on building sites, so being able to easily reach someone is essential. They’re always available when I need them. As the construction environment changes and the business grows I appreciate that Mrs Tradie Office Lady can scale with me, taking on more responsibilities and support as the business takes on more projects. They can grow with the Business, which is great for me.
Shaun’s advice for others “We’re Tradie’s, and we’re good at what we do. Stick to your knitting and let the Tradie Ladies handle the admin.”

“I have two separate businesses, and my Tradie Lady Extraordinaire takes care of both.
Using Mrs Tradie Office Lady saves me time in front of the computer allowing me more time to order products etc. and more time on site. I have been able to focus on how I run the business and improve my business processes. I have more time to train my guys on the job, and can spend more time within the Roofing Industry following my dreams, entering awards – just being better within the industry I am passionate about.
Being an owner I can choose who I want to have working alongside me within the business, and I most definitely want to continue having Mrs Tradie there with me.
We have a relationship where we can talk work, and also not work at times, and that is important to me when having someone so involved within the business itself. I am now able to take more time off for myself and to spend with my family.
If you want to reduce your work load and have more time for yourself, I would recommend using Mrs Tradie Office Lady – She’s fricken Great”

“Engaging Mrs Tradie Office Lady has been of huge benefit to me. Mostly by giving me more time to focus on running my building business.
They input all my invoices, and give valuable assistance with the running my books. If I have any queries or administrative issues, my Tradie Lady Extraordinaire is able to help me out. I do not know how I use to get on doing it all by myself.
Now my family get to spend more time with me in the evenings.”

“Mrs Tradie make my life less stressful – I can continue working and don’t have to worry about the paperwork. They take care of my Payroll, Invoicing and they prioritise my emails in order of importance.
I value Mrs Tradie, as everything that comes up is done so fast and efficiently. I can approve their work over the phone, and I know it’s done – it makes life a lot easier for me.
If you want to just do your job and go home, instead of doing the paperwork at all hours of the night, Mrs Tradie are the best people for the job!”

“Mrs Tradie has been doing the administration for TaskMasters for the last 14 months. They use Tradify to prepare draft invoices & bills. They also do our GST returns and bank reconciliation.
We selected them specifically because they specialise in Tradify. Engaging their services has been an excellent decision. This now frees up the time for the Company Directors to be more productive on other tasks requiring their attention. We have a dedicated Mrs Tradie team member, with oversight from the business owner, who understands our business and is very responsive to phone calls and emails from us, allowing us to address questions and issues in a timely manner.
They interact with our accountants when needed, remind us when payments are due (e.g. GST) and when we have forgotten something. We also receive a monthly breakdown of their time which is very helpful. Their charges are also very reasonable. We can't recommend Mrs Tradie Office Lady highly enough to businesses considering outsourcing their Bookkeeping/Administration tasks.”

“Mrs Tradie provides excellent support for Bison Box handling all the bookkeeping tasks in an efficient and timely way. Mrs Tradie communicates with the Directors on matters arising and also advises us if we have forgotten to do something. We receive a breakdown of time spent working on different aspects of the business which is useful.
We would thoroughly recommend using Mrs Tradie to anyone looking for an efficient bookkeeping service.”

"Mrs Tradie has been a lifesaver for picking up and taking care of our payroll needs.
They've taken away all the stress - now I just send off the time sheets, and Mrs Tradie handles the rest! This has freed up so much of my time. I can now focus on other important aspects of my business.
Payroll has so many risks – especially if you don’t know the regulations.
It’s really great to have a team that are payroll certified and know what they are doing!”

"We have been utilising Mrs Tradie's Payroll services for some time now, and the impact on our business has been tremendous.
Both management and staff can independently access annual leave and payroll data. It also means that sensitive information is managed offsite – rather than pay data for peers being handled in our office. Entrusting our Payroll to Mrs Tradie provides us with peace of mind.
What sets Mrs Tradie apart from the rest - it’s not just the service itself, but the proactive, supportive, and professional approach Our Tradie Lady Extraordinaire brings to her dealings with our business. Knowing that our payroll processes are in capable hands alleviates a significant mental load for management, allowing us to focus on other aspects of our business.
We couldn't be more satisfied with the level of service and professionalism they consistently deliver”.

"Working with Mrs Tradie has been an absolute game-changer for my business. Our Office Lady Extraordinaire is not only very approachable but also incredibly efficient in getting things done.
One of the things I appreciate most about working with Mrs Tradie is that nothing is ever a problem. No matter what I throw their way, its handled with ease and professionalism. From handling my payroll to sorting out various administrative tasks, she truly takes care of all my 's**t.'
Her work ethic is excellent. Everything is completed quickly and efficiently, allowing me to focus on the running my business. Mrs Tradie has taken so much pressure off me that I can now breathe!
Thanks to Mrs Tradie’s expertise and dedication, I've been able to redirect my energy towards growing my business. It's been a relief to have them on my team, and I can't recommend their services highly enough."

"When I needed to put together a Tender Submission, Mrs Tradie was an absolute lifesaver. Not only do they meet time frames with precision, but they also handle administrative tasks with efficiency.
I was initially overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information and requirements involved with this task - and I just needed someone to lean on and share the burden. Mrs Tradie stepped in and immediately put me at ease. They dissected the complexity of it, breaking it down into manageable components.
What impressed me most was their ability to craft documents tailored to my specific needs, they took the time to understand my input and preferences, ensuring that the final document truly reflected my vision. They also created numerous new policies to support the Tender Application.
Thanks to Mrs Tradie's guidance and support, I was able to navigate through the daunting process of Tender Writing with confidence.
Their attention to detail and admin skills have helped me immensely."

“Discovering Mrs Tradie has worked wonders for our Business. It has meant that we no longer need to directly employ in house admin, which has resulted in overall cost savings to our business.
What works best is the on-call nature, and prompt response times. I can have admin tasks taken care of efficient, professional, and in a timely manner without having to hire someone full time.
If I need to take time off or away from the business, I feel positive about having Mrs Tradie involved. It is reassuring to know that we have a safe pair of hands keeping an eye on our financial admin.
The Mrs Tradie team are a friendly and professional bunch, who are approachable and helpful”

“You have been aligned with us for some time now and in hindsight, we wish we had jumped on board miles earlier. What an adapting, professional and competent team you are. Prior to your involvement, we were fighting an uphill & stressful battle. Don’t get us wrong, business is still very stressful to say the least but the weight that has been lifted off our shoulders due to your involvement has and is incredible.
It’s fair to say we are growing at a satisfying rate, to which this could not and would not be achievable without your involvement. There is a long way to go yet and we as a team are looking forward to your further assistance, knowledge and of course a bit of good old banter.”

“Since joining Mrs Tradie Office Lady and having them do my admin, my role as a business owner has become easier and more productive. Dealing with the team at Mrs Tradie has made my job more streamlined, efficient and I have more time onsite to focus on what I need to.
They are very easy to deal with and having your own Mrs Tradie Office Lady Extraordinaire makes the process just so good.
They are a lovely bunch of people with a can-do attitude. I highly recommend Mrs Tradie to anyone looking for a personable and highly skilled administration team.”

Mrs Tradie's services provide full office support, freeing me from having to handle the admin. This allows me to focus more on my work and quoting new jobs.
I was a tradesman before I became a businessman! Working with Mrs Tradie, we get it done properly, and on time.

“Having Mrs Tradie Office Lady helping with our administration tasks is great.
They do everything from creating brochures through to uploading and managing all our data files. They also manage all our Nait obligations, as well as uploading all our Gallagher weigh sessions and reporting on these each time.
The Mrs Tradie team have contributed to our admin efficiencies, and I give them a Five Star rating!!! We are looking forward to working with them in the future – handing over more responsibilities to our Tradie Lady Extraordinaire. We recommend them highly.”

“Max and the Mrs Tradie team came into the business at the perfect time to help us streamline and work efficiently. The work the team does helps to simplify the day to day running of the business.
We have multiple Tradie Ladies who each have specilaised skills, meaning they can focus on specific areas of our business and execute it at a very high level.
Initially, we engaged Mrs Tradie to generate more efficiencies within the business, first focusing on revamping our One Drive, and the systems and processes within that drive. This project involved changing internal and external processes and suppliers.
A job tracker was set up so we could monitor progress on this multi layered project. These efficiencies have created a streamlined platform that can be accessed by multiple users across our business in a way that both the technically capable and the not-so-tech-savvy alike can operate it.
We have an ongoing relationship with Mrs Tradie Limited who now manage a portion of our admin processes. Outsourcing these processes has meant that we aren’t reliant on having an onsite administrative role, whilst not missing out on having top quality administrative processes in place.
We have also called on the Mrs Tradie Office Lady Extraordinaires to manage some large projects and events such as coordinating an onsite field days which catered for 240 guests as well as project managing the extension and refurbishment of our head office, which was carried out to an exceptional standard.
The level of professional support Mrs Tradie continues to give us is incredible and we continue to be extremely grateful for their extraordinary skills.”

“We started out with Max, and Mrs Tradie Office Lady about 4 years ago, after my accountant introduced them to us. In the past I have not enjoyed having a full-time admin person in the office, as I was always too busy to train them – and just ended up giving them worthless tasks to do.
Max’s team just picked things up and gently took everything off my plate. They have taken over most admin aspects of the business. I now feel like I not only have my own admin person, but I feel as though I have my own PA who offers to do things for me when she see’s I have not sorted certain things.
On top of that they are highly trained and skilled. They are doing all the admin within my Project Management App – SimPro, and manage all the admin for our Health & Safety, and ensure we have all the certifications we need on an annual basis.
Mrs Tradie Office Lady has allowed us to grow sustainably and move into different avenues of work. We would be poked without them. I can’t recommend them enough!!!”

It gives us more time to get on with what we need to do, she has everything else sorted - From smooth pay runs to winning tenders.
You have to spend the time to get set up, as you would expect but totally worth it, wouldn’t go back.”

My business is now more productive. They have set up Back Costing and WIP programmes so I can keep track on exactly where my costs and efficiencies are.”

“We approached Mrs Tradie to help with bills and statements, just prior to our third child being born. It was great to be able to focus on the family at that busy time.
It worked so well we have just carried on with that plan. The bills are entered and balanced against the statement each month for us to pay – no hassles, communication is great. We utilize them more and more as time goes on - they pick up the extra work with no worries.
They are very efficient and extra care is taken to ensure everything is done correctly.”

I can WhatsApp from site or call when I am on the move and get things sorted on the go, and I dont have to be any where near a computer!!!”

“With Mrs Tradie doing our admin, we can rely on the information in Farm Focus to be accurate – because it is reconciled on a daily basis. This allows us to make informed decisions as we progress throughout the season, which in turn assists with our productivity.
Communication with our Consultants and Banking Team is flowing better. They receive monthly reports direct from out Tradie Lady.
No more fluffing around in the evenings doing the admin – best decision ever!!.”

“I have been working with Mrs Tradie for five years now!!
All that time I have loved how they are available full time even though I only need to call on them occasionally during the week. AND that I can book more time with them when needed. They are so flexible helping my business both remotely and in person.
I like the communication in advance when my Office Lady(s) are going to be on leave. Part of this comms is about who “will look after me over that period” and that I don't need to train them, as Mrs Tradie looks after all that herself with great internal systems!
Knowing that the bookkeeping is done efficiently has enabled me to focus on my strengths and the business to grow. I am relieved of the tedious book-keeping duties that I soooo loathe doing myself. They are amazingly fast at processing information that takes me an age! Working with Mrs Tradie saves me heaps of time every day.
I feel RELIEF that the office admin is taken care of! I also feel a sense of BELONGING that the Mrs Tradie team exude at every contact made when they drop what they are doing to take care of my needs.
Thank you Mrs Tradie."

“We are very happy with our Office Lady.
Every time we send something over we get a response within a short time letting us know the task is done or being dealt with. GST is always filed early, so we can pay on time. All we have to do is ask and she will help with whatever we need.”
