CASE STUDIES

What The ROOM’s assistants are already doing for companies

Education Company, San Diego

Client:

We need someone to support our bookkeeper during our busy season.

Assistant:

I helped the client match receipts to credit card statements, follow up on unpaid invoices, and input simple transactions.

Results:

Sped up collection time by 40%, freed up the finance team to focus on high value tasks, and provided a flexible labor solution during peak season.

“Pacifique was amazing. She jumped in and provided immediate relief to our finance team. We were able to collect payment faster and improve our cash flow. She was meticulous and professional. We plan to hire another assistant soon.”

FTSE 250 Company, London

Client:

We needed someone to develop a social media schedule and do first level research for thought leadership articles.

Assistant:

I worked with their team to develop a social media calendar and pulled together research for review and discussion. I also developed the first draft of documents that their team ran with.

Results:

The assistant brought more discipline to our social media content, and gave the company confidence that information published in the articles was factual and verified.
