Administrative Assistance

"I wasn't sure if I was ready to outsource the things that 'only I could do.' When I contacted Abigail, the first thing that stood out was her incredibly honest approach. She answered all of my questions with real answers; no embellishment, no fluff. I remember thinking that I'd like to do business with a person like that. Talk to her; you'll know what I'm talking about.

When my assistant was assigned to me, there were only two things I could think of to put on her 'to-do' list and wasn't really sure if I was ready for outsourcing. By the end of the week, the list had grown to 13 items . . . and that's just because I didn't want to overwhelm her. The service has been amazing. I put things on the to-do list and they just get done. I'm now outsourcing things that simply would never had gotten completed (because of a lack of time on my end) and my assistant is coming up with ideas I had never contemplated.

Thank you, Abigail, for being you and for having such an awesome staff. Now, I can't imagine life without The Outsource Resource . . . I know I would have been far too buried to even think of taking the time to write a testimonial. :)

Best Administrative Services in Austin!"

Administrative & Bookkeeping

"The Outsource Resource staffed us with a top notch employee who has proved capable of taking on almost any project and getting it done quickly and with superb quality. We asked the temp she placed with us to do everything from bookkeeping in Quickbooks to sketching an office space we were planning to sub-lease (the temp did it in Illustrator and it looked like a professional CAD/CAM worker!).

We have been thrilled at the support and it has allowed me to actually do the work that grows the business."

~Douglas, Managing Director of a Title Office

QuickBooks Setup

“I'm not an accounting guy. For two decades I've been in online marketing. But now I have my own business, and I needed to get my finances in order so I can keep the Tax Man happy. The team at The Outsource Resource set up my account with QuickBooks online, and trained me on how to use it. Their patience with my endless questions was amazing, and very much appreciated. Now I'm able to quickly and easily maintain my books, and I know my company's financial situation at all times.‎”

Brochure Design

“A few months ago, my company, Cambridge Computer, was in a bind. We had decided last minute to invest in a trade show and did not have any supporting signage or literature. I initially reached out to Abigail to see if she could help us with the brochure and website layouts. To my delight, she took over the reigns, laid out the timeline for getting the project done on schedule, assisted in copyediting, and took responsibility for conveying the materials to the printers. Sure, I could have gone to a desktop publishing service provider, but Abigail was able to do the layouts, plus a whole lot more. Most importantly, I felt that I could trust her to get it all done despite the incredibly tight timetable.”

Administrative Help for a Graphic Designer

"I'm a graphic designer running my own business, and I find I spend a lot of time working on tedious production or administrative tasks when I'd rather be doing the fun stuff—designing! I turned to Abigail at The Outsource Resource for a rush job on a big deadline. She was able to quickly assess my needs and pair me with someone who hit the ground running and quickly finished my project.

Abigail and her staff are professional, polite and thorough. I would highly recommend The Outsource Resource for your business needs. It's like having an extra employee around only when you need one."

~ Ilene H., Graphic Designer

Office Relocation

“Abigail did an outstanding job during our office move. She handled this project from A to Z on her own: looked for space, presented well selected alternatives, skillfully negotiated the contract with the landlord, coordinated renovations, and oversaw the move. She managed suppliers and processes, with attention to details, as if she was the business owner. It freed me to focus on core business."

~ Jonathan G., Software Entrepreneur

Wrote Thank-You Cards

“Today, the guilt is gone and that’s a great feeling. I can breathe again, thanks to Abigail. I can’t wait for everybody to receive the thank-you cards she wrote. Not only can she write, but she has a great talent for listening, too. Working with her was such a delight. I left thinking, ‘What else can I hire Abigail to do?’”

~ Melissa M.

Sales & Marketing

“I've been working with Abigail Mahnke of The Outsource Resource since the fall of 2008, and the experience has exceeded my expectations. I'm the owner of a toy company and I needed some help with a variety of tasks. Not only is she willing to take on just about anything, but she does a great job and works very hard. She has made hundreds of sales calls for me, tended my booth at Toy Fair (a grueling event), set up my Facebook presence, and successfully implemented some online marketing strategies. She has been flexible and easy to work with, which I really appreciate. Thank you for all your help.”

~ David L, Toy Designer

~ Anna C. Bell, M.D.

Newsletter Proofreading

“How do you put a price on the value of an outsource provider that meets deadlines, requires no oversight, is trustworthy and awesomely detail-oriented? I am not sure of the answer to this question, but when managing an employee requires about as much effort as completing a task yourself, Abigail Mahnke of The Outsource Resource gets the job done for a bargain. For my business, The Outsource Resource is a perfectly efficient asset that only costs me when I need something done and is a perfect solution to variable workflow, especially in today’s cost conscious economy.”

~ Colin B., Financial Planner

Project Proposal Proof/Edit

“Abigail provides the hands and expertise for those projects and tasks when you need them. She has always responded quickly and accurately to my requests. When I needed a project proposal organized and edited on short notice, she responded rapidly and got the job done. A great and valued outsource resource that is readily available when you need it and skilled for the tasks required.”

~ Roger M., Technology Consultant

Resume Writing

“I have sent my resume to friends and let them know what an outstanding job Abigail did for me and with me. I respect her professional handling of my panic and her prodding me to get the best resume.”
