How it works
Write down your questions or upload letters – whatever you need help with. The more info you give us, the better.
After booking, you’ll receive an invoice. Bank transfer, credit card, or PayPal are all fine. Remember, this is a business expense if you’re a freelancer.
At your scheduled date and time, we’ll hop on the call together and work through your admin tasks. You’ll need to use at least 30 minutes of your phone time in your call. If we accomplish your tasks with time left over, you’ll receive a credit to put towards your next call.
Our team is dedicated to helping you solve your German Admin problems alongside you, during your call. This ensures that the job is done to your satisfaction and you gain experience dealing with German tasks in a non-stressful, easy way.
One working day’s notice is required for cancellation or to reschedule your call. If you cancel within that time frame, you’ll receive a credit towards your next call.
