Business Operations Built for Your Brain

Connect with Amanda

 You’re losing 30+ hours a month to operational chaos. Let’s fix that.

I’m not a traditional consultant – I’m the calm in your storm.

 I clean up backend chaos, help you save time, and build systems that run without you. When we’re done? You won’t need me. But if things change, I’m here for you.

What’s Slowing You Down?

Your operations are held together with duct tape, memory, and sheer willpower. Sound familiar?

Behind every “successful” business:

  • Processes exist only in your head
  • No real task management system
  • Files are everywhere (and nowhere)
  • Communication chaos across email, Slack, and texts
  • Everyone’s working hard, but no one knows what’s happening
  • Nothing is documented, so you’re constantly reinventing the wheel

You’re not broken. You’re busy. Client work comes first. Structure comes last. But quick fixes can only keep you going for so long.

If your time is worth $100/hour and you’re spending 30 hours/month on admin tasks, that’s $3,000 in lost value.

What I Do

I notice what makes your shoulders tense – and what lights you up. I watch how you work, what you avoid, and which processes you’ll use (versus the ones you’ll abandon faster than scrubbing your shower on a Sunday).

Then I build custom solutions that fit you and your team.

Why Is Vark Ops for You?

Interested in working with me? Let’s set up a time to chat and see how I can help.

Example: Bookkeeping

  • Current process: 30 hours/month on spreadsheets and errors
  • Option 1: Add software (10 hrs/month, $35 cost) → Save 20 hours = $2,000/mo
  • Option 2: Software + bookkeeper (0 hrs, $335 cost) → Save 30 hours = $2,665/mo

What could you do with an extra 30 hours a month?

  • Land a new client or project
  • Create a new product offering
  • Take a break without everything falling apart
  • Clean up other systems to free up even MORE time

You’re a founder, creative, or service provider who’s tired of feeling like you’re always behind. Maybe you’re:

  • Spending more time organizing than creating
  • Making good money but feeling constantly overwhelmed
  • Avoiding certain parts of your business because they’re “too complicated”
  • Ready to stop crafting temporary solutions that break every three months

Common things I hear:

  • “I’m too disorganized to get organized”
  • “I’m embarrassed to show you how bad it is”
  • “I don’t have time to ask for help”
  • “I don’t want to pay for another subscription”

The truth: The most successful business owners aren’t doing everything themselves. They’re strategic about where they invest their time and resources.

Sure, you could hire someone to “organize your business” for cheap. You’ll likely get:

  • Generic systems that don’t fit your business
  • Advice that ignores your working style
  • Tools that sound great on paper but fall apart in practice

Or you could hire a $20k consulting firm, get a slick presentation, and still have no idea how to implement any of it.

What I do differently:

  • I listen (radical, I know)
  • I build sustainable systems that prevent future breakdowns
  • I help you succeed, then celebrate when you don’t need me
  • I speak human – not buzzwords or acronyms 

What People are Saying

I love working with my clients! Outside of the creatives I love to serve, organizations I’ve worked with include Adobe, NASA, The Great American Baking Show, Intervention, and Skechers.

Before working with Amanda, I was completely overwhelmed. Our company was profitable, but behind the scenes I was working 70-hour weeks, constantly stressed about what might be falling through the cracks. I knew we needed help, but I didn’t even know where to start. Within months, Amanda uncovered billing errors that could have cost us over $100,000 – that discovery alone paid for years of her services. But the real transformation was in our daily operations, which are now smoother, more transparent, and far less stressful. She’s transformed our accounting processes so dramatically that I’ve reclaimed at least 40 hours per month—that’s an entire work week back in my life.

She’s been a real beacon of light in our business. Before Amanda joined us, it was a struggle to keep up with billing, invoicing and payroll. Since hiring Amanda, everything just gets taken care of. She learned our systems and made some suggestions to improve our processes and even client procurement strategies. She spent some real time with us initially and works with us weekly, always available when we need her. Amanda is communicative, collaborative and creative. She just makes our business run smoother.

Amanda promised that the new software and systems she was putting in place would greatly decrease our accounting hours and save the company money in the end. That’s exactly what happened. Amanda as a consultant is very sharp, well organized and always responsive when something is needed. She is also very trustworthy. When it comes to your company and its $$$, you better work with someone you trust, and we trust Amanda

A Little About Me

The Chaos Tamer

I’ve been untangling business chaos for over two decades. My background includes managing productions for shows like “The Great American Baking Show” and “Intervention,” handling logistics for rocket launches and presidential debates, and streamlining operations for everyone from solo creative entrepreneurs to global brands like Adobe and Skechers.

Different industries, same fundamental problem: smart people getting bogged down by the boring stuff that keeps their business running.

I’m the person who actually enjoys organizing your file system and setting up your invoicing. Call me weird – I take it as a compliment.

My superpower is figuring it out. Whatever “it” is. I notice what you’re avoiding, where you’re burning time, and what’s holding your business hostage. Then I fix it – calmly, thoughtfully, and in a way that sticks.

Ready to Save Time and Money?

You deserve workflows that give you back your time and peace of mind. You’re not too messy. You just haven’t had the right help yet. Let’s have an honest conversation about what’s not working and figure out how to fix it in a way that works for you. 

No judgment. No complicated systems. Just practical solutions for busy business owners who want their weekends back.
