Welcome to Creative Clerical!
Creative Clerical is a Canadian-based Administrative Service targeted to assist artists, crafters, and creators with their administrative needs!
About
Creative Clerical launched in 2022 after E (that's me!) discovered a gap in professional assistance for artists, creators, and small business owners.
Oftentimes, there is hesitation in hiring assistance because there is not enough work to fill a part or full-time position. That said, there are still a variety of routine or project-specific tasks that need to get done! That's where Creative Clerical comes in. We can do as little or as much as you need us to, and you'll only be charged for the work we complete.
I, myself, have worked professionally in a variety of administrative roles for 10+ years, am formally educated in Business Administration, and hold certificates for Medical Office Assistance (2016) and Bookkeeping (2024).
Some examples of folks we've worked with are tattoo artists, fibre artists, digital media artists, musicians, small shop owners, filmmakers, and more! There are no limitations to the type of "craft" we consider for our work.
Testimonials

""One of the hardest things for me working as an artist is having to pause my creative process to do administrative work. It can be so jarring to pull myself out of my artwork to answer emails, update my shop, track invoices, etc. And When I DO manage to do it, I end up getting sucked in, and I struggle to get back into the creative mindset. This is why I’m so SO grateful for E! Not only does she do those tasks for me, but as a fellow artist and creative, she understands the struggles of both sides of the job, and is able to be accommodating, compassionate, patient, and professional, even when dealing with a frazzled, unorganized, whimsical creative such as myself.
Before I met E, I knew that I needed administrative help, but I didn’t feel like I was “legit enough” to have professional assistance. But working with E has actually elevated my business and made it bigger, better, more efficient, professional, and fun! I can put all my energy into creating knowing that E is on top of the admin tasks. Working with E has been such a dream and I absolutely could not do it without her."
