More Time to Craft — Back-office help for people who build, craft, and create

What we take off your plate

We answer and log your inquiries, book your visits and jobs, follow up with your customers and collectors, and keep your books straight — and nothing goes out without your OK.

Bookkeeping

Simple income and expense records, sales tracking across studio, shows, galleries and online, and sales-tax reminders for your accountant.

Scheduling

Studio visits, commissions, classes and jobs booked for you, plus a calendar of shows, markets and call-for-entry deadlines.

Follow-ups

Inquiries answered and logged, a customer and collector list kept up, thank-yous and newsletters drafted.

Marketing

Social post drafts made from your own photos, ready for you to approve.

River Arts District artists: we're starting right here, with an Artist Essentials package built for studio artists. Ask us about it.

How it works

Talk it through

A friendly conversation about what admin eats your time and what tools you use now.

Set up in your name

Accounts, calendar, customer list and books are set up in your own accounts — you own everything.

Test, then go live

We test every task together, then switch on your office helpers and watch the first week daily.

You approve, we keep it running

We show you how to approve drafts, then check in monthly and fix anything that breaks.

Setup typically takes about three weeks of calendar time.

About Rob

I'm Rob Schwartz, and I live here in Asheville. I have a degree in accounting and more than 15 years as an IT systems engineer. Most recently I've been building secure systems, keeping their documentation in order, and setting up access controls for a large company, including the systems its finance team runs on. Now I bring that same care to small businesses. I set up the tools that keep your books, calendar and follow-ups running, I keep your information safe, and I write everything down so you're never left guessing. You get more time for the work you love.
