SOPs that get the business out of your head.

I map each process step by step and write clear procedures your team can follow, so work is consistent and new hires get up to speed faster.

What is an SOP?

A standard operating procedure (SOP) is a written, step-by-step guide to how a recurring task is done in your business: who owns it, when it runs, and what done looks like. Good SOPs mean the team follows the same steps every time and the business runs without the founder explaining each task.

SOPs

SOPs, process documentation and employee handbooks

A growing business relied on verbal handoffs and founder-led training, so recurring work varied and onboarding took too much explanation.

I mapped each routine, clarified owners and exceptions, then organized SOPs, process flows, checklists and handbook guidance in one reference library.

Project docs

Project documents for a cloud migration: charter, WBS, budget and RAID log

A cloud migration crossed teams, budgets and dependencies without one shared view of scope, progress, decisions and delivery risks.

I prepared the charter, scope, WBS, budget and communications plan, then maintained a RAID log with owners and next actions through delivery.

Process Mapping + SOP Library

Field-service operations manual and SOP library

A field-service company had informal handoffs from first enquiry through installation, dispatch and payment.

I mapped each stage and documented owner-specific steps, customer updates, on-site checklists, payment follow-up and exception handling.

Process Mapping + Dashboard

Enquiry-to-dispatch process map and operations dashboard

Enquiries, fulfilment and collections ran through disconnected routines, leaving work status difficult to track.

I mapped stages and ownership, then outlined a dashboard for open requests, dispatch status, overdue actions and payment follow-through.

Visio + Business Analysis

Workshop findings turned into process maps and requirements

Workshop notes and recordings contained key steps, but teams lacked agreed process diagrams and system requirements.

I consolidated the source material, validated steps with stakeholders, and created swimlane maps and a requirements register with owners and decision points.

Knowledge Base + User Guides

SaaS help center refresh and customer user guides

Customers struggled to find accurate instructions across an inconsistent help center and outdated guides.

I reorganized content around customer tasks, revised and added step-by-step guides, and flagged gaps for product review.

JobTread + SOPs

JobTread implementation and build-process SOPs for a home builder

A custom home builder needed JobTread and team procedures aligned from pre-construction through handover.

I mapped project stages, clarified handoffs, and documented repeatable steps for updates, approvals, change tracking and closeout.

Questions

SOPs & Process Documentation: common questions.

★★★★★
“She is very detailed and easy to work with. Her attention to detail and commitment made the entire process easy. I appreciated her clear communication and proactive approach to addressing every task.”
Client, Business Support Specialist contractVerified review on Upwork
How do you write SOPs for a business you are new to?

I interview the person who does the task, watch a recording or screen share of it being done, draft the procedure, then test it with someone who has never done the task. If they can follow it without questions, it is ready.

Which processes should be documented first?

Start with what happens most often and what breaks most often: client onboarding, lead follow-up, invoicing, content publishing and new-hire onboarding are the usual first five.

Do I keep the documents if we stop working together?

Yes. You keep every SOP, system and full access. Everything I build is documented and handed over.
