On-Site Part-Time Office Assistant
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I run a small consulting and research practice from my home office and the paperwork is starting to win. I’m looking for a reliable part-time assistant who can work on-site to keep both my physical and digital records in order and handle light bookkeeping.
The core of the job is document organization and filing: sorting incoming papers, scanning what should live digitally, naming files consistently, and maintaining an intuitive folder structure so I can retrieve anything in seconds. You’ll also record receipts and basic transactions in a simple ledger on my Windows PC, then reconcile that data against statements at month-end. No advanced accounting is required—just comfort with numbers and accuracy.
Daily work happens in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel) and Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets), so you should move fluidly between the two and know a few helpful shortcuts that speed things up.
Deliverables I depend on
• A tidy, clearly labeled physical filing cabinet and matching digital folders
• An up-to-date Excel or Sheets ledger with all receipts entered and balanced weekly
• A brief end-of-week summary highlighting anything missing, outstanding, or needing my signature
Hours are flexible within normal business days; two or three short visits per week usually cover the workload. Discretion is essential because many files relate to ongoing client projects and unpublished academic work.
If you enjoy bringing order to chaos and can commute to my home office, I’d love to hear how you’d approach the role and when you could start.
