“They have already unlocked so much value within my clients businesses and freed them up to focus on how they can grow and reach their ultimate commercial goals. ”
As the owner of an accounting and advisory firm, I've referred a number of my clients to engage with Kellie and the team.
They are absolutely fantastic, not only in the value they provide as a Virtual Assistant, but also the all round business support they offer as a one-stop shop of company support.

“We are more on top of our workload that we have been in a while.”
“We teamed up with Released to assist us with the admin side of our plumbing company.
They have great skills with Fergus, answer phone calls, schedule jobs and assist in lots of general day to day admin tasks. Which meant they could hit the ground running.
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to gain back some life and time outside of their business.
We are more on top of our workload than we have been in awhile.”

“Terrena has been a massive asset to our business.”
“Terrena has been a massive asset to our business. Since coming on board, she has helped solidify our office and admin management with her diligent and organised processes, always suggesting great ideas on how we can improve, and keeping me and the boys in check if things are completed correctly! I feel confident in her ability to see what’s best for me and the business, and it’s been a great relief off our shoulders and a steer in the right direction choosing to work with Terrena and the team at Released.

“I have found the various team members to be communicative, easy to work with, and reliable.”
Released has been working their magic on my administration and marketing for several months, and I am very happy with what they’ve achieved for my business.
The organisation of my finances has gone from “overwhelming mess” to a low-maintenance and reliable system that ticks along nicely.
This has also been the case in all other areas they have touched: my social media marketing, my EDM newsletter, my copywriting, and my website administration. I have found the various team members to be communicative, easy to work with, and reliable.
And most of all, I am happy that their work has enabled me to better focus on my own—I can now concentrate on the core work that I am passionate about, without spending time and attention on things outside of my expertise.
I still feel in touch with all that’s going on and in control thanks to great communication and flexibility. Thank you, Released team!

“Totally professional, whilst also being friendly and kind.”
Can't recommend Released highly enough. We've been working with them since we bought our small business 3 years ago and would be totally lost without their support and advice. Totally professional, whilst also being friendly and kind.

“This has made a huge difference to my work/life balance.”
“New enquiries and jobs were flooding in. I was unable to respond in a timely fashion. I was losing potential clients and feeling disappointed I wasn’t able to manage my time effectively. Kellie provided one of her staff (Anna) who now handles all incoming jobs. She liaises with clients in an extremely professional manner, obtains the full details of the job and provides clients with a quote. Once confirmed she schedules the job in my online calendar and updates me. For larger jobs requiring a site visit she organises this and schedules them in.
Her quotes/estimates have been spot on and Kellie keeps my accounting up to date. As a result I have more time to focus on completing the actual work and larger quotes required. This has made a huge difference to my work/life balance.”

“I have been with Released for almost 18 months, working with Bronwyn who is my VA. I have found her to be an asset to my company, she is very methodical, trustworthy and a cog in the overall engine running my business. My business would not have been able to expand without her skills, very easy going personality and exceptional customer service skills. All my clients say she is amazing to deal with. I would have no doubt to recommend Bronwyn or the Released crew to any company.”
