It's easy to assume that if you're overwhelmed, you just need a virtual assistant. And in some cases, that's true. But what many founders actually need is more strategic - someone who doesn't just tick off tasks, but helps build the systems behind them. That's where a right-hand person comes in.
What a VA Typically Offers
Task-level support
Requires clear instructions
Ideal for repeatable, process-driven admin
What a Right-Hand Person Offers
Anticipates issues before they arise
Builds the processes and structure behind the tasks
Operates with context, not just checklists
Feels like a second brain, not just an extra pair of hands
When the Difference Matters
You're scaling fast and need foundational support
Your team is growing and you want a steady operational hand
You're dropping balls you didn't even realise you were juggling
You want someone to own things - not just help with them
Anchorpoint is Designed for This Role
I work closely with founders, often in a fractional ops or business manager capacity
I don't just complete tasks - I help shape how the business runs behind the scenes
I offer consistency, context, and continuity
If you're ready to work with someone who treats your business like their own, let's talk about what right-hand support could look like for you.
