4. Business Operations
   · Maintain basic website updates (service info, staff/provider updates, contact pathways, and operational content changes).
   · Support marketing administration: coordinating content/assets, updating service descriptions, tracking inquiries/leads, and ensuring information stays current.

What Success Looks Like (First 60–90 Days)
· Intake pathway is organized, responsive, and consistently followed.
· Provider payments run on a predictable schedule with clean documentation.
· Reconciliations and tax tracking are up to date.
· Privacy-sensitive workflows are followed consistently.

· Software confidence: QuickBooks, Xero, or similar accounting software; strong Excel/Google Sheets; Monday.com, Outlook and Outlook Calendars, able to learn Owl Practice or similar systems.
