Our story
Toyah founded Shadow Administration in 2020 after seeing a need for virtual support for tradies in New Zealand. As a working mum, she and her husband run a residential building company in the mighty Waikato. They understand the everyday challenges tradies face.
"Shadow Administration is my brainchild & my passion."
Toyah realised how much work trade business owners did after a day on the tools. Late nights filled with paperwork, bookings, and chasing payments were common. Toyah knew there had to be a better way to manage these tasks and allow tradies to focus on their work.
That’s why she started Shadow Administration—to provide reliable virtual assistant services that handle admin tasks so tradies can get back to doing what they do best.
From bookkeeping to managing emails and social media, Shadow Administration offers a range of services to help NZ tradies.
Our mission is to support tradies by taking care of the admin work so they can focus on their trade and grow their businesses. We’re committed to providing excellent services and making every client feel valued and supported.
Join us and see how our virtual assistants can make a difference in your business.
