At Crystal Clara, our ad hoc services are designed for clients who need expert support on a flexible, as-needed basis – without the commitment of a monthly package.

Whether you’re overwhelmed, under pressure, or simply need an extra pair of capable hands, our ad hoc support gives you immediate, professional assistance, billed transparently and only for the time used.

Who are ad hoc services for?

Ad hoc support is ideal if you:

  • Need occasional help, not ongoing retained support
  • Have a specific task or short project to complete
  • Are experiencing a temporary surge in workload
  • Want to trial working with Crystal Clara before committing to a package
  • Require urgent document support with fast turnaround

Our clients include busy professionals, consultants, business owners, legal and medical professionals, and individuals juggling competing demands.

  • Transcription
  • Diary and appointment coordination
  • Research and information gathering

Document support
