Assistant Services

I offer specialized assistant services for both single entrepreneurs and small and mid-sized companies. I focus on projects around accounting, communications and marketing as well as organizing company events.

I have worked in versatile assistant positions for over 10 years, which has been natural for my kind of an organizer. Constant prioritizing, problem solving attitude and efficient working habits support my entrepreneurship – without forgetting the positive state of mind!

She was running her own business simultaneously, and was responsible for our keynote program on Main Stage. Contacting international keynote speakers, interviewing, coaching and hosting them before and during the event, scheduling the keynote program – all this Milla accomplished with the greatest precision under extreme time pressure and uncertainty. In any position where initiative, precision and project management are needed, I recommend having Milla!”

”Milla worked as my assistant colleague four years and she graduated during that period. She entailed new, fresh ideas and working methods to our office. Milla is very self-imposed and preactive colleague. She is able to take care of the web development cases and she independently arranged events. She is very social and always in a good mood.”

About Me

Born in 1988, BBA in 2012, founded my company in 2016

I get excited easily and love trying out new things and developing myself. I respect and my work is guided by humane values, well-being and sustainable development.

I’m naturally efficient, which was one of the main reasons I started as an entrepreneur in first place: I got frustrated in my day jobs when I had to create something to do if there wasn’t anything else on task list. I don’t want to wait or waste my time with useless tasks, I want to work efficiently and when I’m ready, I’m ready to either end the day or move on to other important tasks (I love prioritizing).

Moving on to other tasks is related to versatility. Instead of staying in just one role, I constantly desire new experiences, new things to learn. As an entrepreneur I don’t have to tie me down to one role, as I can do whatever I want! Now I feel like I know well enough the accounting role and event world, so next I’m expanding my marketing communications knowledge especially in visual sense.

The strong working experience I’ve gathered gives me a solid base. I’ve seen a lot, been in surprising and stressful situations and survived through them all with great reviews. In addition to the strength these experiences has given me, they have also taught me about the surroundings: I’ve seen many different ways to work, different working tools, cultures… On the other hand this gives me many different solutions to develop my clients’ ways, but it also teaches me to adapt to different habits.

In future I hope to find a balance between working life and home life. To keep myself enthusiastic and constantly developing with versatile tasks, but to prevent stress by balancing out with routines, close working communities and taking care of my well-being.
