Hi, I’m Alli Smith. The “Smith” in Smith & Sorted.
I started Smith & Sorted after building a business of my own from scratch and realizing that the work wasn't what was taking up most of my time. It was learning, designing, and running the business itself.
My background is in healthcare, and I hold a Master's in Healthcare Administration, which means business planning, systems thinking, and operations aren't a side skill for me, they're my education and training. I've also spent years as a photographer, which turned out to be more useful to this work than I expected: a business isn't just its systems, it's also how it looks and feels to the people discovering it for the first time.
The part it took me a while to admit is that I often find that I enjoy the admin and operations more than the service it supports. There's something deeply satisfying about turning chaos into a system that just works.
I built Smith & Sorted so I can take what I love and use it for people who are exactly where I’ve been before. Whether you need someone to take scheduling, your inbox, your CRM, and your social presence off your plate for good, or you're just getting started and need the basics in place first, I help you get the business behind the business actually handled, so you can focus on your craft.
I work with solo and small-team service businesses, including cleaners, tattoo artists, therapists, coaches, contractors, photographers, and everyone in between. If you sell your time, skill, or expertise rather than a physical product, this is probably the right fit.
I'm not a big agency, and I don't try to be. I'm one person who's done this before, doing it again for you, with the same care I put into building my own business.
