Most clients start with a Founder Strategy Session or a short diagnostic so we can see what’s really going on. From there we agree the priorities, choose the right mix of Strategy, Performance, and Systems support, and set a simple cadence for check‑ins and reporting. No long‑term contracts by default.
Yes, but our deepest experience is with New Zealand‑based service businesses and franchises. We’re set up for NZ tax, payroll, compliance and time zones first, then Australia and beyond where it makes sense.
All three exist here. Strategy is where we think with you, Performance is where we help you get the work done, and Systems is where we build and run the underlying ops. Most clients use a mix over time rather than one mode forever.
While we do often work on a retainer model, we do not lock people into time-bound long term retainers. We prefer to earn the right to stick around.If your needs change, we’ll adjust scope rather than pretending the original plan still fits. We also work on one-off projects.
We map your goals, offers, capacity, numbers, and current marketing, then identify the handful of decisions that will change the most: what to stop, what to double down on, and what to fix next. You leave with a written plan and clear priorities, not just a chat.
We start from the business model: offers, pricing, delivery, capacity and finances. Marketing strategy sits on top of that, so we won’t recommend “more marketing” if the business underneath can’t support it yet.
Yes. We’re happy to audit what you already have, point out gaps, and suggest adjustments so you don’t throw out work that’s still useful.
Performance is for messy marketing, stalled projects, clunky systems and admin that keeps eating time. That might look like half‑launched campaigns, ads you’re scared to turn on, a project that’s dragging, or a backlog of decisions no one has time to make.
Instead of plugging one person into one role, we look at the whole flow: what you’re trying to achieve, where it’s jamming, and which mix of skills you actually need. Sometimes that’s social and ads, sometimes it’s ops and admin, sometimes it’s both.
Yes, as long as we’re clear about scope and what “good enough” looks like for now. We’d rather stabilise issues properly than say yes to impossible timelines.
Systems is everything behind the scenes that keeps your business running: email and file management, CRM, HR and onboarding basics, payroll, bank reconciliation, inventory, and the tools that connect them. If it’s how work moves, it probably lives here.
Both. We audit the tools you’re already using, decide what to keep or change, help you configure them properly, and document the key workflows so your team can actually follow them.
Yes. We’re happy to sit alongside your accountant or bookkeeper, handling the day‑to‑day systems and comms while they focus on compliance and higher‑level advice.
Yes, but it now sits under our Performance and Systems work. We use VA‑style support to keep things moving once strategy and systems are in a better place, rather than treating it as a standalone fix.
Inbox and calendar management, basic client comms, document and file organisation, follow‑up tasks, light project coordination, and other operational admin that doesn’t need to sit on your desk.
You’re matched with a lead and backup from our team so there’s continuity if someone is away. We keep shared documentation and access in place so support doesn’t disappear when life happens.
Hiring a virtual assistant or executive assistant can greatly enhance productivity and efficiency, allowing you to focus on the things you really want to, and achieve your strategic goals.
Our team are experts in administrative support, scheduling, project management, and generally making your life easier. We handle time-consuming tasks, streamline workflows, and ensure smooth operations so that you don’t have to think about it.
Having a quality virtual assistant means having more flexibility, saving time and money, and having access to a wide range of skills for those day-to-day responsibilities.
We quote based on the mix of strategy, implementation, and systems you need, not billable hours you have to police. Some pieces are project‑based, some are retainers, and some (like workshops) are clearly priced products.
No. One‑off sessions and diagnostics are available if you want to start smaller.
Clarity on your goals, honest access to what’s really happening (numbers, tools, logins), and a point person on your side who can make decisions. We’ll guide you through the rest.
For when you’re paying a chaos tax you can’t claim back.

The Project Seven team are amazing! They took the load off and enabled us to focus on what we are good at; running the business. They are doing everything from book keeping, answering the phone when we can’t, invoicing to social media posting for us. It makes our “to do list” way more manageable. Thank you of everything you are doing for us!!

The Project Seven team have been wonderful over the past few years assisting my company with various administrative services. I could not have done it without them. I highly recommend Project Seven as an exceptionally professional company with the ability to adapt to your individual company’s needs.

The team at Project Seven recently provided their support and expertise on the production of a corporate publication. The attention to detail, creativity and professionalism are just some of the components that really made me go “WOW!” What I enjoyed the most was how they were able to take this work off my plate, and just get it done and get it done well.

I have been working with Project Seven for a few months now, and I am so happy with the work they are doing. They have taken over my sales calls, VIP group and social media, which has given back so much more of my time. I can’t recommend Project Seven enough! If you have been thinking about outsourcing some work, you won’t be disappointed!
