(Limited availability, I have room for one more client) I offer specialized support for C-Suites & Execs who need high-level strategic support (calendar management, inbox triage, systems, and travel) without adding a W2 headcount. I typically save my clients 15–20 hours of mindshare per week on a simple monthly retainer (no contract or monthly commitment required). I make it my mission to buy back as much of your time as possible, anticipate the needs of your business and/or personal life, solve problems before they even reach your desk, and for you to feel and know that you can consistently rely on me. ----- 🌟 "I've worked with more freelancers than I can count or recall and Molly stands out from the pack. I could recommend Molly on the basis of technical skill--and how she quickly learns what she does not know. But here's why you should hire Molly: Unlike 90 percent of the freelancers who worked with me in the past, Molly has that special ability to anticipate what I might need and to ask me about it before I can bring it up to her. It shows she's already thinking several steps ahead to get me where I need to be. If you hire her, look out! I've made it a goal of mine to hire her full-time when my business grows big enough!" -Brad, BT Irwin & Co ----- What you can expect from me: ◦ A reliable right-hand partner with high degree of initiative, attention to detail, and organization. Experience and skills include: 🔸 Inbox Triage 🔸  Complex Calendar Management 🔸  Travel Management 🔸 Project & Task Management 🔸  SMM / Marketing Assistance 🔸 Admin Support 🔸 Quality Assurance 🔸 Event Planning 🔸 Data Entry, Transfer, and Transcription (including screenplay format) 🔸 Creative Writing & Film Production 🔸 Invoicing & Light Accounting 🔸 Creative, Project, and Personal Assistance 🔸 Expense Reports ----- 🌟 "Molly is the most polished assistant I've worked with. She's clear, concise, and precise. If I had more work for her, I'd keep her in perpetuity. She's worth every penny and some." -Mike, Inroads Technologies 🌟 "Molly has exceeded my expectations. She's smart, dependable, fast, and a good communicator. I've asked her to help out with tasks that require so many skill sets, creative writing, data entry, accounting, collecting payments, communication with clients, and much more. It's rare to find one person who is versatile enough to do all of those things well. Molly has not only successfully completed all tasks assigned to her (often days before they are due), she has also anticipated the needs of our studio and performed tasks I hadn't even thought of but that were a huge help. Some of the software she introduced to me has also helped with organization and streamline communication between us and with others at our company as well. I feel very lucky to have found Molly and would certainly recommend her." -Aaron, Actor's Edge 🌟 "We searched high and low for an assistant who could help us organize our virtual law firm and get everyone's schedules in order. Molly not only did that, but also took over client intake and was always professional and courteous. Cannot recommend highly enough!" -Ryan, Morrison / Lee LLC 🌟 "Molly is really freaking awesome. I'm a busy mom and business owner and she completely got me through a crunch time. She's reliable, cool, quick, responsible, and smart. Will definitely make Molly my first call next crunch time that comes around and 500% highly recommend her for anyone else. (...) Beyond beyond beyond rockstar, critical part of our team on so many fronts" -Emily, Chief Detective [keywords: CEO assistant, executive assistant, detail-oriented, organized, calendaring, calendar assistant, scheduling assistant, calendar management, virtual assistant, admin assistant, scheduling, schedule management, calendar, administrative assistant, C Suite assistant]
