“I was looking for some administrative support with various documents recently and Gail was recommended to me. I’ve used her on a number of occasions and can’t fault how thorough her work is plus the promptness of getting the completed work back to me! I would now have no hesitation in recommending her myself and I will definitely continue to use her professional services in the future!”
Simon Thomas

“I first worked with Gail many years ago and found her a great person to work with. Since having my own business I have contracted Gail to produce my newsletters which she does with only a small amount of advice on content. Always happy to recommend her to anyone looking for Admin Assistance.”
Lloyd Hughes
Mortgage Broker
“Gail is amazing, nothing is ever too difficult for her. Her service is professional, prompt and very affordable for cover letters and resume writing.
I learned a hard lesson using another resume writing service after moving to Townsville that provided a less than satisfactory service for a ridiculous price and involved numerous hours of wasted time on my part. Gail came to the rescue after a quick phone call and her assistance with my cover letter resulted in securing a great job with Qld Health. I HIGHLY recommend Gail.”
Kristi James
“Gail is an absolute Gem! I was looking to change careers and sought Gail’s professional advice on my resume and cover letter before applying. Gail gave me some tips on simplifying my resume and produced 2 cover letters for me for two different roles I had chosen. Within a week I had received 2 offers! I highly recommend Gail’s resume services to anyone whether it be writing your first resume or updating a professional resume such as myself. It was great to have a second opinion and it worked! “
Jenna Harber
“Thanks so much, Gail, being able to leave my clients in qualified and capable hands so that we could just switch off for our holidays was the best decision ever. It’s great to have a team even when we are a smaller boutique agency.”
Fiona Gregory
Sunshine Estate Agents
“Gail was recommended to our Property Management business as the perfect VA to assist in the setting up and management of our sales division.
With over 750 units under management, it was imperative to keep control of the sale of the units and build our rent roll. For five years (to 2019), she has managed everything from initial inquiries on websites, liaising with buyers and sellers, negotiating contracts and following through to settlement, listing new properties on websites, preparing legal documents and marketing through various platforms. This has enabled our team to focus on other tasks with the assurance that Gail is fully capable of handling the sales division with up to 40 listings at any one time. Nothing was ever too much, she was always courteous to clients and always available when needed. Gail built strong relationships with our onsite managers and a pleasant rapport with our property owners. Due to business restructuring, we have now decided to handle the sales in-house however, I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Gail’s services again to any real estate industry professionals.”
Graham Furtado

“Being a real estate agent for the last 10 years, many office tasks and project have come up that are just common sense to outsource. Over the last 4 years, I have used Gail on many projects from databases, data entry, advertising campaigns, mail outs, email outs, Facebook campaigns the list goes on. In this time, the thing I love about working with Gail is her enthusiasm, diverse skill set and her level of care for what I am trying to achieve. Gail attacks everything she does at over 100% and has the maturity to realise the work she does for people is about them and helping their business grow with a ‘head down bum up’ approach. If you are going to outsource work to someone you want to make sure that person is an extension of your team and in my experience, Gail is certainly that for me and has proved her worth many a time. Thank you, Gail and I look forward to our next project!”

“I specified quite clearly what was required and said that it would be fiddly and we agreed on a rate and time frame that I was happy to work with. She was efficient and communicated with me when the system kicked her out with the activity that she was doing. I liked that she was able to use good common sense in deciphering illegible handwriting and I’ve had quite a high conversion rate to my website since.”

“I was absolutely thrilled today that Gail came over to sort out my database and Mail Chimp. I consider myself somewhat foreign when it comes to understanding how it all works and merges together sending out the newsletters but Gail made the whole process simplified and helped me out no end to make sure I understood how it works and took the time to show me the tricks and hints of the operational website system. I’m looking forward to growing and expanding my business and I’ll be calling on Gail for PA work and making my life easier in the business. She definitely takes the stress out of it all and I am feeling very confident in managing my processes. Many thanks Gail you’re a legend! “
