About the Founder  Natalie Foley has worked in the administrative field for over 20 years. She began her career in the Dallas, Texas area working as Office Manager for a married entrepreneurial couple who were self-made millionaires. From 1989 to 1991 she traveled extensively throughout the U.S. with the couple, helping them to manage and promote the daily operations of their business.
After staying in many luxury hotels, she became interested in the high-end hospitality industry and began working for the Omni Mandalay Hotel in Irving, Texas. She started as a receptionist but was quickly promoted to Executive Assistant and then Network Manager. As a part of her many responsibilities, she maintained operations of the Novell computer network for the entire hotel. From 1992 to 1998, Natalie created proposals, negotiated contracts, managed group meetings upwards of 60 people, acted as major liason between assistants and upper management, and drafted weekly, monthly, and yearly reports for both corporate and in-house offices. Ultimately promoted to Sales Manager, she continually surpassed her booking goals, typically hitting 120 percent of her monthly target sales at the 421 room property. In 1999, Natalie had her first child, and the demanding hours of working in a luxury hotel conflicted with the many needs of her newborn. Natalie opted to stay home for a year with her daughter while continuing to work for the hotel on a contract basis. It was also during this time that she began to assist small business owners with operations, planting the seeds for the future Office Assistant Solutions. In 2000, Natalie was offered a position in television programming at Showtime Networks in Addison, Texas. She decided to rejoin the corporate world and began working as Executive Assistant to the Vice President of Telemarketing. She was quickly promoted to Coordinator and made responsible for directing communication between many vice presidents and directors in multiple remote cities. This demanding position required her to wear many administrative hats at many different times and to redefine the parameters of the phrase 'multi-task.' While working at Showtime Networks from 2000 to 2006, Natalie also managed departmental payroll, maintained the department calendar, designed and wrote the layout for monthly programming, and monitored extensive marketing campaign data, creating spreadsheets for executive distribution. By 2006, Natalie's talents were in such demand as a virtual assistant that she incorporated Office Assistant Solutions and began working with small business owners on a full time basis. Natalie's diverse background includes IT support, marketing, bookkeeping, and extensive customer relations. She currently holds the title of Office Manager for various small businesses, all of which are handled remotely. Natalie custom tailors her services to meet the specific needs of each of her clients and offers a wide range of skills to draw upon - accounts payable and receivable, communications, phone operations, payroll, tax preparation for CPA use, marketing and direct mail, all sorts of IT work, property management, and much, much more. She specializes in bookkeeping, and can help small business owners from virtually anywhere. Natalie is also a Licensed Realtor®. Her clients range from a real estate broker to a home inspector to a therapist to a travel agent to a massage therapist. Natalie resides in McKinney, Texas with her husband Michael and her two daughters, Alex and Kristen. In her spare time, she enjoys watching her children's activities, reading and exercising. Her passion is helping small business owners succeed and flourish. |
