About Office Shed
A Team That Understands What It Takes to Run a Trade Business
Specialist admin, software and operational support for trades and services.
There’s the work your customers see. Then there’s everything behind it: the calls, bookings, quotes, invoices, systems and follow-up.
Office Shed helps you manage that work so you and your team can focus on running the business.
We’ve supported trade businesses since 2013, building practical knowledge of their customers, workflows and the software they rely on.

What we do
More Than an Outsourced Receptionist
Office Shed is best known for Australian-based, human-led call answering and virtual admin support. But our work reaches further into the operation.
We help with bookkeeping, job management software, training, AI solutions, consulting and operational health checks.
That means you can come to us for help with today’s admin workload, a system that needs improving or a clearer view of what to do next.
One team. Practical experience across the work that keeps your business moving.
Calls & Virtual Admin
Help with customer enquiries, bookings and the daily office workload.
Operational Support
Consulting, AI solutions and health checks to help improve how the business runs.

Leadership
Meet Jay
Hands-on experience across thousands of trade businesses.
Jay took over Office Shed in 2016 and has helped shape it into the specialist support business it is today.
Through onboarding and supporting thousands of trade and service businesses, she has worked closely with owners to understand what happens behind the scenes — from the first customer call to the systems used to manage the work.
Plumbers, electricians and air conditioning businesses have made up a large part of that experience, alongside roofers, cleaners, maintenance businesses, builders, flooring contractors, painters, pool businesses and other trades.
She’s seen what works. And she’s seen where things get stuck.
Today, Jay focuses on consulting, software setup, migration and training. Working with the senior team, she also delivers operational health checks and helps owners improve their systems and processes.
Her software partnerships and industry relationships add another practical resource: access to people who can help with the next challenge.
Software
We Know the Systems Behind the Service
Office Shed has built partnerships with ServiceM8, ServiceTitan, Simpro, Fergus, AroFlo, Tradify, Ascora and Xero.
Our experience also extends to other software used by trade businesses. We use that knowledge to help with setup, daily administration, training and practical improvements.
We also work with a broader network of trade industry coaches, marketers and other specialists.

Billie believes that good communication, a positive attitude and a little bit of humour go a long way, both in business and in life.

Brittany Ewald
Client Services Coordinator
Brittany is a highly skilled and experienced customer service professional who joined Office Shed in 2025. She started out working in a local café for 5 years before following her passion for animals and studying to become a vet nurse. She went on to spend over 7 years in the veterinary industry, where she found it incredibly rewarding to help animals get better and to support their owners through some of the tougher decisions that come with having a pet. During that time she also worked in a variety of administrative roles and finished up in a high-volume call centre. That gave her the perfect experience to join our team.
Brittany loves getting to know her clients, building strong relationships with business owners and their customers, and helping keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. Based in Brisbane, she looks after plumbers and electricians across Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne, and has picked up plenty of trade knowledge along the way.
Britt is highly experienced using ServiceM8 (her number one, in her humble opinion!) and Tradify, and has also worked with ServiceTitan and other major job management apps.
Fun fact: Brittany has a fair bit of metal in her back! It’s one of the main reasons she stepped away from working with animals, but it led her down a new path where she’s found something else she really enjoys. When she’s not working, she loves hanging out at home with her cats and dog and relaxing.

Georgia
Client Services Coordinator
Georgia has 9 years’ experience in administration, customer service and project support across maintenance, engineering, construction and the weighing industry. She’s worked alongside almost every trade you can think of giving her a great understanding of the busy world of trades and services.
Georgia has experience working with plumbing and electrical businesses in places like Launceston, Wollongong, Brisbane and Sydney. She is a skilled user of Simpro, ServiceM8, ServiceTitan, MYOB, BEIMS, Microsoft and Google programs.
Outside of work, Georgia enjoys the arts: painting, poetry, drawing, macrame – you name it! She’s also interested in Criminology and Psychology and loves the occasional doco!

Susan
Client Services Coordinator
Susan is one of our most sought-after team members. Prior to joining Office Shed Susan held roles in retail and hospitality where she managed a large operation for 2 years. This experience means she is an exceptional communicator and highly organised.
