Work With Me

 i've spent my whole life refusing to do things the hard way.

then i made it a job.

i'm meridith โ€” founder of the back office, mom of three under five, and the person 350+ business owners have trusted with the part of their business they'd rather not look at. for 8 years i've built backend systems for people who hate backend systems: the onboarding, the follow-up, the processes that live in your head and nowhere else.

Hey, I'm Meridith

The whole story:

Here's the moment that built this business. a few years ago i was running an agency โ€” 20 clients, 5 team members, constant slack pings โ€” on the schedule of a mom with almost no uninterrupted time. and my hands broke out in painful eczema. i was pregnant, so i assumed allergies. dermatologist, allergy tests, new soaps, new detergents. nothing.

finally my doctor looked at me and said: "this is stress. your body is trying to get your attention."

so i did the thing that felt like failure and turned out to be the whole point: i rebuilt the entire business around the life i actually had, not the life i used to have. 20 clients became 4. the willpower got replaced with structure. and i learned the thing i now say constantly: you were never disorganized. nobody ever built the part of your business that's supposed to remember things FOR you.

building backends full-time

these days, the systems i build run on AI. not the scary kind, not the hype kind โ€” the kind that drafts your client emails in your voice, plans your monday before you sit down, and holds your boundaries when a client asks for something you don't do. i set it up. you just live with the results. and because i know you're wondering: no, you don't have to be techie. being not-techie is basically my target demographic.

SEND ME A MESSAGE

2018

 founded the business. backend systems for service providers, one client at a time.

2019-2021

the agency era: 20 clients, 5 team members, and a to-do list that never once ended.

2022

my body filed a formal complaint (ask me about the eczema). rebuilt the entire business around the life i actually had. 20 clients became 4.

2025

350+ businesses served, and the same lesson from every single one: it was never a discipline problem. it was a systems problem.

2026

the AI era: i stopped just building systems and started building AI back offices โ€” staff members that draft, plan, and follow up in your voice. and i ungatekept the whole thing: the starter kit is free.

(and why that matters for you)

How I Went From Drowning In My Own Business To Building Backends That Run Themselves

what i
actually believe:

  • you were never disorganized. nobody ever built the part of your business that's supposed to remember things for you.
  • if everything depends on you remembering it, it's not a system yet.
  • AI should reduce your decisions, not multiply them. anyone selling you 300 prompts is selling you 300 new decisions.
  • you don't need another app. you need fewer things to think about.
  • every offer i build has one test: does it survive a sick kid?
  • working less isn't a reward you earn after the business grows. it's a design decision you make first.
  • you don't have to love your backend to have one that works.

here's where to start:

Questions You're Probably Wondering

(but didn't want to ask yet)

i set up AI to run the boring parts of your business. client emails, onboarding, follow-up, the processes that currently live in your head. i build the system in claude, trained on your voice and your offers, and hand it to you working.

i'm not techie at all. is this for me?

yes. everything i build assumes zero tech skills โ€” if you can copy and paste, you can run every system i make. the free starter kit exists so you can prove that to yourself in about an hour.

is this a chatgpt thing?

i build on claude. but what you're actually paying for is the setup and the thinking โ€” the tool is the current parts list. if a better one comes along, the system transfers.

i've tried AI and got generic garbage back.

that's a setup problem, not an AI problem. it doesn't know your offers, your clients, or how you talk, so it guesses. everything i build starts with a document that teaches it your actual business. that's the difference.

do i have to get on calls with you?

the build has one 60-minute call. everything else is async โ€” recorded walkthroughs, one slack thread. i built this business around three kids under five, so nothing i sell depends on either of us being available at the same time.
