Who is Adminovate?

The name "Adminovate" was inspired by Geri's 9-year-old daughter, who was helping to find one word that would communicate an innovative, fresh and flexible approach to administration. Although the name Adminovate was only born in 2017, the business has been around since 2005. 

We've grown a lot over the years and Adminovate is now a fantastic team of incredibly talented Business Support Specialists who love what they do. 

With services from phone answering to full business admin management and bookkeeping, Adminovate is proud to tailor their services to suit your business. 

 Meet Your Team

Geri

business owner

"I get to be a cheerleader to small businesses, meet a lot of lovely people, and work with a great team. I even get to be a mum and have the perfect work/life balance. I love what I do!"

​With a background in legal services, and experience in the Allied Health sector, building and pest inspection, financial institutions and even a couple of amazing, published authors, Geri has been working in administration for almost 2 decades. Geri is passionate about community and believes that the success of our country depends on the success of Australian small businesses. She makes it her mission to create affordable, professional and friendly admin solutions to suit any business size.

OFFICE MANAGER

"Why, somtimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." - Alice Through The Looking Glass.

Kez has a background that includes real estate and medical supply administration. She's worked as a property manager for a number of years and she loves to make things work and get things right. Kez's greatest strengths are her attention to detail and her sunny, positive attitude to any challenge. Kez loves meeting new people and is committed to finding solutions to every problem.

office manager

"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."
- Maya Angelou 

Lisa has a background of over 14 years of administrative experience, both in the public and private sectors. She's worked as a medical receptionist in some of the most stressful departments, as well as working as a PA. Lisa's got a super-friendly disposition and has a passion for helping people.

JEREMY

Business Support Specialist

"Whenever I see something that challenges me, I take it on."
- Niki Lauda

Jeremy has a wide breadth of experience: After working at Ansett, he moved to the banking and finance fields, becoming known as a problem-solver employing a holistic (if sometimes unconventional) approach, and a master at getting the best business/client outcome.

Jeremy's side adventures are just as impressive; he is deeply involved in training, leading and helping out on the front lines in a number of organisations. His work within the SES has been reflected with a couple of citations and a National Emergency Medal. His wealth of experience and client skills are a true asset and we are privileged to share him with all our clients!

Bree

bookkeeper

"It may be conceded to the mathematician that four is twice two. But two is not twice one; two is two thousand times one."
- G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday

Bree likes the things that drive everyone else crazy. Spreadsheets, data entry, figures, making sense of the mess of someone else's books. Bree has been working as a bookkeeper for approximately 15 years, and has worked with allied health clients for a good part of that time. She understands the nature of small businesses, where we're all trying to cram too much into one day and would rather not spend hours in an evening catching up on the books. Bree is adept at wrangling QuickBooks, Xero, MYOB and various lesser-known accounting packages. She's also confident with HealthKt and has a working knowledge of the intricacies of Allied Health Bookkeeping. 

LIS

Business support specialist

"I love working with and adding value to people, and I love my family. I'm blessed that I get to do both."

Lis enjoyed a few decades of administrative roles in the corporate and church sectors prior to home-educating her four children. 

Her work life started in Guernsey, a small island in the English Channel where she had employment opportunities with accountants, an underwriting agency and merchant/clearing banks. She gained further experience and skills working in London, England while engaged in one of her passions - overseas travel! It was on a backpacking working trip to Australia that Lis found her future home and eventually emigrated. 

Lis's background in counselling and life experiences has assisted her in relating to people with a depth of compassion and understanding for their needs. She is trustworthy, conscientious and loves to help.

LIsa B

BUSINESS SUPPORT SPECIALIST

"If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend the first four hours sharpening the axe."
- Abraham Lincoln

Lisa has a number of favourite foods she likes to cook – and like her food choices, Lisa has an eclectic approach to work. Knowing that one approach does not fit all for something to turn out right, you need to be on the ball and try something different - the end product might just turn out to be better than the original.  Lisa is an experienced Manager who is skilled in Web Accessibility and Auditing, Media Production Management, Customer Service, and Strategic Planning, backed by her tertiary education with an Honours in Economics, Diploma of Video Production and a Professional Certificate in Website Accessibility. Lisa has worked in the Australian Army Psychology Corps and Logistics, Department of Defence Payroll Section, Office of Hearing Services, Department of Health and Ageing and, most recently, as a Studio Manager of a Video Production Agency. Lisa loves a challenge, whether in the kitchen or solving work problems!
