Hi, I’m Philippa, Owner and Founder of Balanced Flow Professional Services.
For nearly two decades, I’ve immersed myself in the worlds of finance and administration. I began as an Accounts Assistant and climbed the ladder to Assistant Management Accountant, mastering everything from budgeting and reconciliations to process improvements. But I soon realised I wanted to be where the action happens: tackling the day-to-day operations that keep a business moving.
In 2017, I pivoted into research grant administration and management, applying my financial expertise to new challenges: drafting proposal budgets, ensuring compliance, and reporting on outcomes. My most recent role managing a PhD programme broadened my remit even further. I’ve tackled everything from travel logistics and event planning to customer service to website updates and strategic reporting. Each task sharpened my ability to learn new systems quickly and deliver results under pressure.
I’ve worked across public, private, and third-sector organisations, stepping in when capacity was stretched and nobody knew where to begin. I love to hit the ground running and make a positive impact as soon as possible. That blend of adaptability and precision led me to launch Balanced Flow Professional Services, where I carry forward everything I’ve learned into my own business.
When I was brainstorming names for my business, I scribbled down dozens of options. But nothing felt both professional and true to my belief that business doesn’t have to be a burnout slog. After years of seeing founders burn out under the weight of ‘hustle culture’, the idea of Balanced Flow came to mind, and I couldn’t put it down.
Balance speaks to the harmony between work, life, and growth.
Flow captures the smooth momentum and efficient systems every entrepreneur deserves.
Together, they became more than a name – they’re a promise of sustainable, steady progress.
That promise guides everything I do. By shouldering your back-office load (be it inbox management, data management or business development) I create the space you need to see the wood for the trees. With those administrative burdens lifted, my clients uncover fresh insights, implement positive changes and drive their businesses forward with newfound clarity and confidence.
Small and medium business owners are my ideal partners: you’ve built momentum, spotted growth opportunities, and simply need someone to help you seize them. I’ll scope out exactly what you need, introduce the right tools and processes, then embed them to business as usual so you feel the impact in days, not months. If you’re ready to experience the true meaning of Balanced Flow – a business moving forward without wearing you down – let’s talk.
