YOU KNOW THE CLEANING.
Feel confident with the business side.
You’re comfortable doing the cleaning. It’s the email, bookings, quotes and invoices that can leave you unsure. I bring the business side together around the way you work, then show you how to use it — one step at a time.

The business side, properly set up.
A working setup around the cleaning work you already do.
Professional business email and domain
Your own domain and business email, set up under your control.
Quoting and invoicing
Send clear quotes and professional invoices, with a practical payment process.
Customer administration
Keep customer details, bookings and business documents organised.
Core business accounts connected and configured
The agreed accounts connected so the business side works together.
Personal onboarding
A one-to-two-hour walkthrough after laptop delivery, a one-hour session for your first booking and a separate one-hour session for your first invoice, plus two 20-minute courtesy calls within 30 days of handover.
The exact setup is agreed before you proceed. Separate third-party subscriptions, renewals and usage charges are explained upfront.
Setup with you
You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
A video can explain one task. Putting your email, bookings, customer details and invoices together around your cleaning business is a separate job. I do that setup with you, using your services, prices and way of working.
After laptop delivery, we spend one to two hours getting to understand how it works. When you’re ready, we work through your first booking in a one-hour session, then your first invoice in a separate one-hour session. You can ask questions as you go. Your accounts and assets stay under your control.

Get comfortable with the everyday tasks.
Does this sound like you?
Good at cleaning. Ready for help getting organised.
- You already do paid cleaning work, but the administration feels unfamiliar.
- You have tried tutorials or software and still feel unsure how it all fits together.
- Bookings and customer details are scattered through messages and paperwork.
- You want someone to set it up and patiently show you how to use it.
The aim is to know where things are, what to do next and how to run the everyday business tasks yourself.
Personal coaching is part of the package
Set up for you. Practised with you. Adjusted as you start.
You don’t have to work out the new tools alone. We use your everyday business tasks to help you feel confident running the setup yourself.
Your first contact and booking
Add a customer, arrange the job and practise finding the details across your laptop and phone, with your tablet included where agreed.
Your first invoice
Prepare an invoice using your own services and prices, check the details and send it with Allen’s guidance.
Your first payment or remittance
Work through a payment notification or remittance advice, match it to the invoice and check what remains unpaid.
AI help with email and calendars
Practise using AI to draft email replies, summarise messages and help plan appointments. Check suggested replies, dates and details before sending or changing a booking. Available features depend on your accounts and subscriptions.
Documents and Drive across devices
Learn to save, find, organise and share your business documents in Drive across your laptop, phone and agreed tablet. Practise using available AI tools to draft or summarise documents, and check which account and sharing permissions you are using.
Adjustments as you start
Review how the agreed setup works for you and make agreed adjustments to templates, settings and everyday steps.
Follow-up calls and support
Bring your questions to the included coaching and two 20-minute follow-up calls within 30 days of handover. Additional work is quoted separately.
Included: a one-to-two-hour walkthrough after laptop delivery, a one-hour first-contact and booking session, a separate one-hour first-invoice session, and two 20-minute follow-up calls within 30 days of handover.

Set up, practise and hand over
After laptop delivery, spend one to two hours getting to understand your setup and checking your account access. Then have a dedicated one-hour session for your first booking and a separate one-hour session for your first invoice, when you are ready.
How long does the setup take?
Once you decide to proceed, the initial configuration call is approximately two hours. We work through your business details, existing accounts and what you need from your email, calendar and accounting package.
Allen then spends approximately six additional hours completing the configuration, account connections and checks before laptop delivery, followed by a one-to-two-hour walkthrough after laptop delivery. A one-hour session for your first booking and a separate one-hour session for your first invoice take place when you are ready. The initial configuration call is one part of the complete setup.
Your setup appointment and expected completion timeframe are agreed before payment. Laptop availability, access to existing accounts and third-party approvals can affect the timeframe. The handover and any follow-up sessions are agreed upfront.
What should I know before paying?
Meet Allen first and receive the agreed scope and costs in writing. Confirm the supplier details and ABN, your setup booking, available payment methods, cancellation terms and how any setup problems will be handled. Ask about anything you are unsure of before proceeding.
Payment is arranged through your invoice after the setup is agreed. This website does not collect your payment or card details.
What will I be able to check at handover?
Work through a practical task such as preparing an invoice, finding a customer record and accessing your business email. Check your own login and recovery access and understand which subscriptions and renewals you manage. The package also includes a one-hour session for your first booking and a separate one-hour session for your first invoice when you are ready, plus two 20-minute courtesy calls within 30 days of handover. Additional work is quoted separately.
