For owner-operator tradies
You don't have a leadership team. You are the team.
Office Hours is a virtual leadership team for trades. Ask one messy business question - cash flow, quoting, hiring, slow payers - and a virtual CFO, COO and CMO weigh it up, then your CEO hands you one clear next step. So you stop carrying every call on your own, and your nights are your own again.
One team, one plan, one next step, your call.
Built in Australia, for Australian trades.
The problem
You're good at the job. The business is the hardest part.
The tools, the trade, the actual work - you've got that. It's the questions that don't switch off:
Big calls. Real money. And no one in the room to talk them through.
The reality
Going it alone is the risky part.
The businesses that last have a team behind the big calls. Office Hours puts that team in your pocket - on call, day or night.

How it works
Three steps. No spreadsheet required to start.
Tell your new executive team what's on your plate.
A decision you're stuck on, a worry that's been nagging, or just "what should I be focusing on?" Plain English, no spreadsheet to fill in first.
Your executive team weighs it up.
Your finance, operations and marketing specialists look at it from their corner and work through the trade-offs, not just an easy answer.
You get one plan.
Your CEO pulls it together into one plan: what to do, who owns it, and the next step. One way forward, not five browser tabs.
What you get
One messy question in. One plan out.
A real example: your CFO, COO and CMO each weigh in, then your CEO settles it on one plan - with the next step. The call stays yours.
An example - one plan
"Should I take on an apprentice this financial year?"
The money: hire now - the cash buffer is strong, and an apprentice wage stacks up at sub-tradie rates.
Operations: start them in February - it's quiet enough to bed in training before the season peaks.
The work: demand looks real and the timing is the risk - wait for the Q3 pipeline to confirm before committing.
Meet your team
Four executives, on call.
Each one looks after a part of the business that usually keeps you up at night.
I take everyone's input and land on one plan, lined up with where you want the business to go, so you're not left juggling opinions on your own.
My job is to keep an eye on the money - cash flow, pricing, whether you can afford that next hire. Tell me your numbers, or connect Xero when you're ready.
Operational headaches is where I step in - staffing, plant/equipment, apprentices versus qualified tradies, getting more out of your days. I can work from what you tell me, or tools like ServiceM8.
I'm your marketing guru, I help you win the right work - where your leads come from, what to charge, and how to stand out in your patch.
Why it works
Less noise. One plan.
Office Hours gives small business owners the strategic thinking only large companies can afford.
A whole team. One answer.
Four executives look at your problem from every angle - finance, operations, marketing - then your CEO settles it into a single clear call. The depth of a boardroom, the simplicity of one decision.
Built for owner-operator tradies.
Not generic tips scraped off the internet. It knows how a trade business runs - the quoting, the cash flow, the slow payers - and the executive thinking big firms pay six figures for.
Not just another AI chatbot.
A chatbot fires back one quick, confident-sounding reply with nothing behind it. Office Hours weighs the decision up from every angle and shows you the assumptions and trade-offs behind the call, so you can trust the answer.
Your data, your decisions.
It works off your real numbers, the call is always yours, and your business data is never used to train AI models. For tax, law or your specific finances it tells you to see a professional - it helps you think, it doesn't replace your accountant.
Before you start
