Hi, I’m Julie
The founder of A1 VA.
My Story
Having run my own successful business for over 15 years, building it from scratch and navigating all the challenges that come with business ownership, I understand the pressure of making decisions, managing cash flow and keeping everything moving behind the scenes.
Over the years, I’ve discovered I genuinely love creating systems that help businesses run smoothly. Not just for the benefit of the company, but for the people working within it. When processes are clear and organised, teams feel more confident and businesses perform better.
I am a natural communicator and a real people person. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy and highly organised with fantastic attention to detail. I am patient, thoughtful and considerate of how others feel. I also have a wicked sense of humour, because I believe work should feel good as well as productive.
Outside of work, I’m a big animal lover and have cared for my now retired horse for over 20 years. I also play paddle and enjoy the socially competitive side of the sport. Travel is another passion of mine, and I love discovering new places and experiences whenever I can.
My Approach
Numbers aren’t for everyone, but I love them. I know how vital consistent cash flow is to a business and how quickly problems can escalate if it is not managed properly. Chasing payments is not just about recovering money, it’s about keeping the business stable so employees and suppliers can be paid on time and growth plans stay on track.
Bookkeeping and data entry satisfy my need for systems to be accurate and up to date. I love knowing that a business owner can log in and see a clear snapshot of how their company is performing. Accurate numbers create confidence and clarity.
Customer service is another area I am passionate about. I get real satisfaction from turning a negative situation into a positive experience. Clear communication plays a huge role in that, whether I am speaking with customers, suppliers or supporting internal teams.

Testimonials
Julie has worked with me over the last 6 months or so, helping with various financial & administrative tasks for our small business. In particular, Julie has taken on diary management for my husband and I, accounts payable, and staff and personnel management. Julie has a truly unique skill set derived from her personal business experiences mixed with her fast ability to learn and get stuck into something new. In my experience of working with Julie, she brings a tenacity to all tasks which would make her a great asset to anyone needing administrative assistance. It is difficult to imagine a task she couldn’t turn her hand to. I can confidently and unreservedly recommend Julie’s services.
