I’m Tara Elder, Chief Stress Reliever and owner of Simply Helpful. 

In my professional past I have worked in environments where the resources were shrinking, but the work load kept growing.  My colleagues and I were being asked to work magic with fewer resources. There were many times when we needed a bit of help to get us through a difficult project or to help us get back on track, although we didn’t have the budget for a full time staff member.  I have talked to countless other professionals that were in my shoes and a light bulb went off.  I want to be a part of the solution for these problems and from that desire, Simply Helpful was born.

I have a diverse background in event planning, sales, management, and consulting and have been told I am a “Jackie of All Trades”.  I love to dive into a chaotic situation and lend a helping hand to smooth out the wrinkles that often develop in the everyday life of business.  Though I have had longevity in some very different career fields, one thing all of my career paths have had in common is that I have specialized in refining systems and finding a more direct route to where clients want to be.  I love to jump in and help out in stressful situations and make a clear path out of the madness.  I come in when a person or group is not sure where to start with a project or clutter and help create a working solution to save time and money.

Let me help you break the cycle of stress and regain some control of your time in the office.  Perhaps you’re working without the full support staff you need. Like your competitors, you’re streamlining and figuring out how to get the work done with fewer resources. I get it, it’s the new normal. But it means that companies like yours could use help staying organized and avoiding potential pitfalls. This is where I come in. I’m Simply Helpful and I can help. With every project and client, I promise full confidentiality and discretion.
