How it works

518 Ink combines AI-powered workflows with human oversight. Day-to-day tasks run through AI-assisted systems, and a real person reviews, course-corrects, and steps in whenever something needs a human touch. You're not handing off to a bot. You're working with a system that has a person behind it.

About bookkeeping support: We handle transaction categorization and expense tracking in your own software — QuickBooks, Wave, or whatever you use — for review by your accountant. We deliberately don't do reconciliation sign-off or anything tax-related; that stays with your CPA, and you want it that way.

Need something not on the menu? We talk about it before we do it — it either fits your plan, gets quoted as a small project, or means you've outgrown your tier. Nothing is ever done-and-billed as a surprise. The written scope protects both of us.

Virtual Assistant

Automation with a person behind it.

518 Ink combines AI-powered tools with human oversight—so you get the efficiency of automation without losing the judgment and accountability of a real person in your corner.

Day-to-day tasks run through AI-assisted workflows, and I'm actively involved to review, course-correct, and step in when something needs a human touch. You're not handing off to a bot. You're working with a system that has a person behind it.

50-60%

less than the cost of an in-house administrative assistant

No payroll. No benefits. No fixed overhead through the slow months.

How it flexes

Support can scale up during busy season and pull back when things are quieter—so you're not carrying a fixed cost through the slower months.
