About BOSS

The office support small businesses actually need.

BOSS — Bowes Office Support Services — exists because too many excellent tradespeople and small business owners are spending their evenings doing paperwork instead of living their lives.

Why BOSS Exists

Founded on a simple observation.

Karen Bowes, founder of BOSS
Karen Bowes
Founder, BOSS · 30 Years' Experience

I've spent the last several years working across fast-paced service and operations environments, building a strong track record in keeping teams organised, solving problems quickly, and making sure customers receive the level of service they expect.

In my previous roles, I've coordinated field engineering teams, managed day-to-day operations, service contracts and SLAs, supported customers, and used data and performance information to identify opportunities for improvement.

I'm very hands-on, organised, and comfortable taking ownership. I'm often the link between service, sales, engineering, and management, making sure communication is clear, priorities are understood, and issues are resolved efficiently.

My experience across FMCG, healthcare, HVAC, and manufacturing has taught me how to adapt quickly, manage competing priorities, and keep operations moving without losing structure or attention to detail.

Today, through BOSS Dublin, I'm bringing that same practical, solutions-focused approach into helping businesses with their operational and service needs. I'm passionate about building strong customer relationships, improving processes, and delivering a service that people can genuinely rely on.

For me, it's about keeping things simple: understand the problem, find the right solution, and get the job done properly.

How We Work

The standard we hold ourselves to.

Reliability

Quotes go out, invoices get chased, emails get answered — on schedule, every time, without you having to check.

Discretion

Your customer records, quotes and financial information are handled with the same confidentiality as an in-house employee.

Responsiveness

Your customers get timely, professional responses — because a missed reply is a missed opportunity.

Straightforward Pricing

Three clear tiers, one minimum booking, no hidden extras. You always know what the admin is costing you.

Who We Work With

Built for trades and small businesses of every kind.

If admin is taking time away from the work you're actually qualified — and paid — to do, BOSS is built for you. We work with trades businesses most, but the same admin overload shows up across almost any small business or service.

Electricians Plumbers HVAC & Air Conditioning Heating Contractors Builders Roofers Carpenters & Joiners Painters & Decorators Tilers Landscapers Groundworkers Security Companies Fire Protection Maintenance Contractors Cleaning Companies Property Maintenance Engineering Contractors Handymen

Plus consultants, small professional services firms, start-ups, property businesses and independent contractors who need the same flexible support.

Getting Started

How it works, from first contact to handed-off admin.

1

BOSS Core, BOSS Growth or BOSS Premium — or get in touch first if you're not sure which fits.

2

Quick onboarding

We learn how you currently quote, invoice and schedule, so nothing gets missed in the handover.

3

BOSS gets to work

Admin runs on your package's hours — scheduling, quoting, invoicing, emails and records, handled.

4

You get your time back

Evenings and weekends stop being admin time. We adjust the service as your business changes.

Let's take it off your plate.
