Working with Michelle has changed the way Clark does work. We are thrilled to be working with her.” -Megan O’Connor, Co-Founder & CEO, Clark

“As an entrepreneur juggling two companies, I was extremely overwhelmed; often feeling disorganized and stuck. I knew I needed someone to help me and learned about Squared Away through my working mom community. I quickly got in touch with Michelle who said she had just the woman to help. When I hired Christine, I was truly blown away after just the first day. Almost immediately I knew that I had made a great decision for my company (and also my own sanity!) Wow. Her learning curve is straight up and it is such a relief to have someone that I can rely on for just about anything. I only wish I had found Squared Away sooner. For those looking for a trusted virtual assistant who can lighten your load significantly and pretty much change your life — look no further than Squared Away — a company comprised of talented and driven military spouses that specialize in high growth and scaling businesses.” -Monica Banks, CEO of Gugu Guru
