Assistance looks different for everyone
Most small business owners don't need more tools — they need someone who actually knows how to use them. At Pain in the Assistant, we work alongside founders, solopreneurs, and small teams who are great at what they do and stretched thin doing everything else. Whether you need reliable day-to-day support, a smarter set of systems, or a sharper strategy, we bring the structure, the follow-through, and the expertise to make it real.
Flexible Support. Lasting Impact.
Find what fits — then let's get to work.
Administrative Support
For the business owner who's great at what they do and buried in everything else. We handle the behind-the-scenes work — systems, scheduling, communications, and operations — so you can stop managing the noise and get back to the work that actually moves the needle.
Digital Organization Consultation
For the business owner who knows something isn't working but isn't sure what — or who has a vision and needs a real strategic partner to help get there. We bring fresh eyes, honest perspective, and actionable steps to every session. Less venting into the void, more forward momentum.
Workshops & Keynotes
For the event organizer who wants their audience to leave with something they'll actually use. Alexander brings humor, hard-won experience, and a knack for making complex topics feel genuinely doable — whether it's a conference keynote, a half-day workshop, or anything in between.
Administrative Support
For those building big things — and buried in tiny tasks. We'll work behind the scenes so you can get back to all that you do best.
"Pain in the Assistant will modernize your systems, resulting in more automated and efficient systems for communication, finance and membership tracking. And they're a real pleasure to work with!"

Digital Organization Consultation
It's like therapy for your business. Whether you need a fresh perspective, a strategic game plan, or just someone to help you untangle your thoughts — we bring honest insight and actionable steps to every session. We turn frustrations into forward momentum, and we don't let you leave empty-handed.
"Hiring Pain in the Assistant is by far the best thing I've ever done to get rid of my tech debt and to develop systems that run smoothly and easily. Their support has made my business a dream to run." — Jeff Jacobson, Professional Life Coach
"It was so much fun working with Alexander, and I am so pleased with the outcome. He immediately identified some redundancy and inefficiency in my processes, and he helped me realize I had a few things to clean up. I will continue to work with him in the future!" — Bridges Conner
Workshops & Keynotes
From conference keynotes to skill-building workshops, Alexander brings humor, heart, and hard-won experience to every room he's in. Each talk is built around real-world case studies and practical next steps — because the goal isn't just to inspire, it's to send people home with something they can actually use.
"Alexander is a wonderful presenter…he really understands our members and how to meet us where we are. His process makes me feel I can do this without getting too overwhelmed." — NAPO Summit Organizer
"Alexander is really sharp and brimming with enthusiasm about tech tools and how they can help run our business. He educated, inspired, and entertained. Easily the best presenter at any conference I've ever attended!" — NAPO Summit Attendee
