Esther & Jon, the co-founders of WorkFlo, are two industry professionals who met over a coffee after dropping off their kids at their first day of school. We quickly realised we shared similar career paths and values, and with backgrounds in large corporate organisations, we’ve seen how strong operations can transform a business - but also how small businesses often lack access to that level of expertise.
Together, we built our business operations advisory service to bring practical, hands-on support to growing businesses.
