Running a business shouldn't mean everything depends on you.
Whether you need help resolving a specific operational challenge or someone to take responsibility for keeping things running smoothly, I provide practical, experienced support that makes a difference.
Your Business Operations Partner
Practical business operations and executive support for founders and business owners.
I help you organise day-to-day operations, improve processes and keep work moving—so you can spend more time leading your business.
Your business has grown, but the way it runs hasn't quite caught up. You’re keeping things moving, answering questions and chasing progress—while improvements keep slipping down the list.
Too much information lives in your head.
Follow-ups and handovers depend on someone remembering.
Your systems don't work well together.
You know things could run better, but you haven't had time to fix them.
I work alongside you to bring structure, make practical improvements and help your team work with greater clarity.

Someone who follows through
I'm the founder of Thorough Solutions, bringing extensive experience in business operations, executive support and helping business owners turn plans into progress.
My experience includes eight years working closely with the owner of an established business, taking responsibility for operational activities, client relationships, events, projects and the many moving parts that keep a business running.
I understand what it means to be the person a business owner relies on — someone who takes ownership, anticipates what needs attention and follows things through.
Whether you need help resolving a specific operational challenge or someone to work alongside you on an ongoing basis, I bring practical experience, clear communication and a genuine commitment to getting things done.
“Too much of the day-to-day running of the business depended on me remembering, chasing and answering questions. Maria took ownership of the follow-ups and coordination, brought structure to our priorities and kept things moving. I now have more time to focus on clients and growing the business, with confidence that agreed actions are being followed through.”

“Our client onboarding was inconsistent, with information spread across emails and steps easily missed. Maria helped us create a clear process, practical templates and defined responsibilities. The team now knows what needs to happen next, and I spend less time stepping in to sort things out.”
