Eileen B.

Experienced consultant in Finance, AI and Automation

Brisbane, Australia
$45 per hour
4 jobs

I help businesses turn messy, manual operations into clear, automated systems that run themselves, saving hours every week and making growth actually scalable. I'm an AI, Finance and systems specialist with over 12 years across enterprise and technology, including Cisco, Thomson Reuters and Westpac. I now run BellMatrix, my own AI and automation consultancy. I work at the intersection of business, systems and engineering: I unpack how your operations really work, then design AI-enabled and no-code solutions that remove the repetitive work slowing you down. The work I do best includes AI-powered workflows using GPT and Claude to draft, summarise, classify and reply; no-code automation with Make, Zapier and n8n; lead-generation, CRM and email follow-up systems that run in the background; business process mapping to document how your tools, data and workflows connect; and automated reporting and dashboards using Sheets, Airtable and Notion. I also bring this same systems thinking to local search and website visibility — technical SEO, Google Business Profile optimisation, and making sure sites are structured cleanly for both search engines and AI-driven results. I also create clear documentation and data standards so your systems keep running reliably. I start by understanding the actual bottleneck, not just automating for its own sake. You get a system that is reliable, well-documented and easy to hand off, and I am equally comfortable embedded with a technical team or working solo to deliver a finished automation end to end. My background spans enterprise strategy, customer success and hands-on delivery, so I translate between the business and the technical detail without losing either. Tell me the task that is eating your time each week, and I will tell you honestly whether automation can fix it and how I would approach it.

Annaliese A.

Executive Function & Sensitivity Coach | Mental Health Book Editor

Brisbane, Australia

Hi, I’m Anna, an Australian Executive Function & Sensitivity Coach, Psychotherapist, and Developmental Book Editor. I work across two connected areas: helping people understand what is getting in the way of their work, and helping writers strengthen the psychology, structure, and emotional depth of theirs. EXECUTIVE FUNCTION, SENSITIVITY & BEHAVIOURAL COACHING I work with highly sensitive, neurodivergent, creative, and self-employed professionals who often know exactly what they should be doing, but still find themselves avoiding it, overthinking it, becoming overwhelmed by it, or losing momentum. That gap between knowing and doing is where much of my work begins. If you are avoiding an important project, I am not interested in simply giving you a stricter deadline or telling you to work harder. I want to understand what happens when you move towards the thing you are avoiding. Sometimes the problem is practical: task structure, prioritisation, decision fatigue, limited working memory, or lack of accountability. Sometimes it runs deeper: perfectionism, fear of failure, overthinking, uncertainty, burnout, past experiences, or patterns your brain has learned to use to regain safety or control. That means our work may move between your professional and personal life. We might be talking about deadlines one week and childhood expectations the next, because the patterns we use at work rarely exist separately from the rest of who we are. From there, we work on both the pattern and the practical problem. This may involve: Avoidance and procrastination Overthinking and decision paralysis Executive-function and ADHD-aligned support Emotional and sensory sensitivity Accountability and follow-through Perfectionism and fear of failure Burnout and loss of direction Creative blocks and inconsistent output Communication and boundaries Trauma and past patterns affecting current behaviour My psychotherapy background means there is room to explore deeper emotional or trauma-related patterns when they are part of what is happening. The goal is not endless analysis of the past. It is understanding enough about why your system responds the way it does that you can begin responding differently. I have supported business owners and professionals through long periods of burnout, disengagement, and loss of direction. In one case, over approximately six months, I helped a high executive business owner process both the professional and emotional patterns underneath their struggle and burn out, return to earning, restructure their business direction, and reconnect with their work. DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING, MENTAL HEALTH WRITING & BOOK SUPPORT Alongside my coaching work, I specialise in psychologically informed books and content. I am a CPD-trained editor and proofreader with experience across self-help, mental health, personal development, trauma-related content, and psychologically complex fiction. My editorial work includes: Developmental editing Manuscript and chapter assessments Character psychology and emotional depth Psychological accuracy and sensitivity review Self-help and mental-health book development Ghostwriting and voice development Therapeutic resources and educational content Proofreading and professional mental-health review My clinical background allows me to look beyond grammar. I consider whether the psychology makes sense, whether emotional reactions feel believable, where ideas need greater depth, where the reader may disconnect, and how to strengthen the manuscript without removing the author’s voice. For self-help and mental-health books, I focus on psychological accuracy, clarity, emotional credibility, and reader connection. For fiction and memoir, I look at character motivation, trauma responses, relationships, emotional progression, and internal conflict. My editorial experience includes published books, full-manuscript developmental work, psychological content review, and ongoing collaboration with authors across multiple projects. Much of my work, in both coaching and editing comes down to understanding what sits underneath behaviour.
