Back Office Operation
Managed Back Office Operations
Four Ways to Get This Done
A Freelancer, a VA, a New Hire, or a Managed Assistant.
All four can do the tasks. The difference is who carries the risk when work stops — and back-office work stopping is exactly what you are trying to prevent.

IN-HOUSE HIRE

Who selects and vets
You do — from a profile and a rating
You interview whoever is presented
You run the whole search
We do, against a defined role with background and ID verification
Who trains them
You, every time you engage a new one
You, usually over calls
You and your team
We do, from documentation built with you and reused for every later hire
If they disappear
The work stops. You start again from scratch
Replacement offered; context is gone
You re-recruit and re-onboard
Cover and backfill are ours. The documentation stays; the work continues
Who checks the work
Nobody, unless you do
Nobody, unless you do
A manager on your payroll
A HeyBuddy manager, against a standard you approved
Where the process lives
In their head, and it leaves with them
In their head
In your systems, if someone insists
Documented in your systems, and yours to keep
Your time each month
Briefing, chasing, checking
Daily direction and review
Ongoing management
One review with your manager, plus reporting
Best used for
One-off projects with a clear finish line
Simple tasks you enjoy directing yourself
Work needing constant physical or legal presence
Recurring work that must not stop
A freelancer can be the right answer for a one-off project. This comparison matters for recurring work that must not stop.
