Administrative & operational support for small businesses and charities
Two specialists, one invoice.
Providing the business support you need to achieve your ambitions
You want to continue growing your organisation. To take it to the next level. To go for those bigger clients, maybe hire an employee.
You're proud of the success you've already achieved. But you know that what got you here won't get you there.
You need processes you can rely on (rather than them relying on you), and administrative support to lighten your load.
You need the right people BY YOUR SIDE. People who have the time and enthusiasm for administration, specialise in the tasks on your to do list that you don’t and who can support, encourage and champion you to succeed.
OUR BUSINESS SUPPORT SERVICES
Virtual Assistant Support
When your working hours are spent delivering, it can be hard to find time to stay on top of emails, enquiries and admin. And catching up on evenings and weekends just isn’t sustainable.
That’s where having a Virtual Assistant can help.
Operational Support
You’re so central to client delivery and the success of your organisation that it’s stifling your growth potential. But you don’t have time or headspace to find better ways of working.
That’s where our operational support comes in.
Bookkeeping Support
Accountant chasing you for receipts? Leaving financial tasks til the deadline? Struggling to keep Xero up-to-date and accurate?
Outsource your bookkeeping to us.
Both you and your accountant will be glad you did.
Recruitment & HR Support
Growing your team or Board but not sure what processes, checks and policies you need in place?

ABOUT BY YOUR SIDE BUSINESS SUPPORT
We’re an experienced business support partnership specialising in admin, finance, people and operations. Based in York, we work with clients across the UK.
By Your Side partners: Lynne Wright (L) and Michelle Jamieson (R).
Two specialists, one team.
By Your Side came to life when we realised we work better together. After five years of working alongside each other, it was clear that our different skills and experience not only complemented each other, but they could offer something genuinely useful to our clients too.
Michelle takes care of admin and finance support, while Lynne focuses on operations, people and processes. You might need support from one of us, or a bit of both, and that’s absolutely fine. We tailor our services to each client based on their needs and work together behind the scenes, so you get the right support when you need it, without juggling different suppliers, relationships or invoices
