Ctrl + Alt + Assist – When things crash, we reboot your workflow.
If you had ten extra hours this week, what would you do with them?
Take a proper lunch break?
Finally update that offer you’ve been meaning to refresh?
Actually finish the thing you started three weeks ago?
Here’s the truth: your time isn’t disappearing—it’s being eaten by admin.
Where the time really goes
Most small business owners lose hours every week to things that don’t actually need them:
Answering emails
Rearranging meetings
Formatting invoices
Scheduling social media
Updating spreadsheets
Repeating the same info to every new client
Individually, they seem manageable. Together, they’re costing you days.
What could you let go of?
Here’s what 10 hours of VA support might look like:
2 hrs inbox management
1 hr calendar and meeting admin
2 hrs social post formatting and scheduling
1 hr invoice prep and expense tracking
2 hrs admin clean-up or CRM updates
2 hrs onboarding support or research
That’s 10 hours of breathing room. More progress. Fewer late nights.
The real benefit? You stop running in circles.
You get to focus on what actually grows your business—not just what maintains it. And you don’t need a huge budget or a full-time hire to make that shift.
This is the power of smart support.
At Ctrl + Alt + Assist, I work with founders, creatives and small business owners who are ready to spend less time in the weeds—and more time doing work that actually matters.
