My personality type is equal parts Mulder/Scully- a relentless dreamer with a strong bent towards pragmatism. I thrive on bootstrapping ambitious projects and crafting the (digital) written word in support of visionary leaders who know all they have to offer- but just need a little help articulating it to the people they serve.

Sara’s most recent position as Grants Manager for a non-profit health clinic allowed her to accelerate her fundraising, grant writing, CRM/database management, and content marketing experience. In 18 months, she stewarded over $900,000 in funds and related projects while pursuing an additional $400,000 in state, federal, corporate, and private funding.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE TRUSTY OAK

18B5639E-20C9-4E49-80EF-3AEB2658DFC4

Working with Trusty Oak is seamless. Camey and Damaris are true members of our team, allowing my partner and I to focus on strategic priorities and revenue-generating activities. They quickly learned what we need and how we work and consistently deliver high-quality, timely work. We get to have an entire team of professionals at our fingertips, yet we only pay for what we need!

Sarah Elliott
Co-founder & Principal of Intend2Lead LLC
 

The Trusty Oak team has been instrumental in helping me build my career. From administrative support and social media management to business planning, Amber and the Trusty Oak team have all the resources and people strength that I need to be successful. When a business need arises, I can trust that Trusty Oak will have a number of options and solutions that will work within my budget and time frame.

Brandi R. Muñoz
Principal Workforce Development Consultant, People Culture Consulting
 

Working with the people at Trusty Oak has opened new doors for our non-profit. It has been a huge help to have their professional insight and knowledge. Amber, Katie and Camey are all very responsive and are quick to offer their insights. We are especially thankful for their ability to present updates to our donor base and keep them informed.

Todd Merry
Home of Hope Ministries
 

My experience with TRUSTY OAK was wonderful…getting my website more organized and cohesive. Having someone else take a deeper look at my website was really helpful and inspiring — we literally gave it a whole new look and feel. This freed up my time to focus on other things that I don’t usually have time for. Hannah was always available when I needed her and had a lot of great ideas and brought a fresh new perspective to my marketing. I felt like I was in really good hands and can highly recommend TRUSTY OAK.

Pascal Simon
Owner and Founder of Bake Austin
 

TRUSTY OAK rocks! I couldn’t be more pleased about the quality of work and their personal touch. With Amber as CEO, I can count on her to understand our needs, to be a great communicator, and a wonderful resource for us. I am continually impressed with how professional and capable TRUSTY OAK’s virtual assistants are. I highly recommend TRUSTY OAK to provide outstanding administrative assistance to organizations like ours.

Donna Raskin
Founder of Austin Kids Can!
 

Working with TRUSTY OAK has been an absolute pleasure. After several failed attempts with other VA firms, I have finally found a responsive, trustworthy, dependable assistant…adding much more value than the bare bones inbox and calendar management I was looking for. If you’re looking for a fractional assistant you can trust from day one, I highly recommend you work with TRUSTY OAK.

Tim Hamilton
Founder & CEO of Praxent, Austin, TX
 

My VA has done more for me in 20 hours of work than I’ve done in probably a year of just making things up on my own. That’s not a sales pitch, infomercial, or me being paid to say what I’m saying. It’s true. I’ve gotten a business card designed, a logo designed, website updated, streamlined for SEO, content written, colors and fonts changed, things I would have never thought about if I was doing this on my own.

Dave Bahr
Founder and CEO, In-Sightful Living
 

Adulting is hard. Entrepreneuring is harder. I don’t know where I would be on either if Trusty Oak hadn’t come into my life when they did. Partnering with them has allowed me to scale my business, organize my life, and accomplish goals that would have been out of my reach without their support. Their team is diverse in skillset and background—over the years I have been able to lean on them for everything from scheduling and travel booking to bookkeeping and invoicing to process engineering and implementation. They are proactive, trustworthy, and receive an enthusiastic recommendation from me!

Ilana Zivkovich
CEO, Werq
 

As an entrepreneur with several projects going in different directions, it’s hard to prevent some things from falling through the cracks. I’ve asked for a diverse list of tasks and they have done them all in stride, quickly, and way too politely. You can count on TRUSTY OAK to get things done fast and correctly, freeing you up to focus on building your business.

Clint Greenleaf
Board Director, CEO, Entrepreneur, Content Expert, CPA
 

It took a while to open to the idea of a VA – as a new business owner, I thought I could do everything. Well, I was wrong! Letting go of the things I don’t know how to do, or don’t do well at all and handing them to TRUSTY OAK helped me immensely. They take care of my website and social media and much more, and leave me time as the business owner to do the stuff I’m good at.

Eyal Gallico
Founder & IT Professional at TopMac, Austin, TX
 

I have worked with Amber on several website projects and her work is top notch. I am amazed by her attention to detail and her ability to drive a schedule. If you want something done well, and fast, TRUSTY OAK is what you are looking for!

Erika Heilman
 

Trusty Oak’s virtual assistant services have plugged a gap in our administrative needs and made my life easier during a year of hectic travel. Genny got up to speed quickly in understanding the nature of my work, and she’s efficient and professional in helping to manage complex calendaring and travel arrangements. This virtual arrangement has worked seamlessly for us!

Juila Freeland Fisher
Director of Education Research, Clayton Christensen Institute
 

Working with the VAs at Trusty Oak, I am better equipped to scale and grow my business. Their varied skill sets help open up the Cabéza Advertising portfolio of services, allowing us to better serve our clients and improve our value proposition.

Jose Garcia
CEO and Founder, Cabeza Advertising
 

Trusty Oak is a huge part of ATX Web Designs business and day to day operations. What I love most is the quality people we work with. We’ve used 5 VAs through Trusty Oak and every single one of them does an extremely great job. It eliminates so much stress on us because we don’t have to go through the vetting process to see if an individual may or may not be the right fit. With Trusty Oak, we can choose anyone and expect the same high level of quality work and communication. They help us regularly with projects, social media, online marketing, sales, lead gen, internal organization, and more! As a CEO and founder, there’s so much relief to have access to great talent. Because of Trusty Oak our business continues to grow.

Daniel Griggs
CEO, ATX Web Designs
