Practical automation for small business

Less admin.
More business.

QuickBooks, Gmail and the other software you already pay for can now handle a lot of your admin automatically. But someone has to set it up, connect it and keep it working. That’s us. You approve anything that matters.

01 — What we automate

The work between the real work.

Four everyday workflows, each shown in a real kind of business. Tap one to watch it run, start to finish.

Not in one of these industries? The same workflows run for any business that emails, invoices, orders and reports.

02 — Use what you have

You may already own most of this.

QuickBooks can now read emailed bills and draft payment reminders. Google Workspace can turn emails into spreadsheet rows. Shopify can automate order steps. Most businesses never switch these on, or find they stop at the edge of one app.

We start with what you already pay for, then connect the gaps between your tools. Less new software, lower cost, nothing exotic to maintain.

03 — How it works

A smaller first step. A better working day.

STEP 01

Find the friction

On a free 20-minute video call, walk us through the task, the tools and the handoffs. We pick one workflow worth improving.

STEP 02

Build the connection

We set up the automation around your existing process, with review points and clear rules for anything unusual.

STEP 03

Test. Refine. Repeat.

We test together, check the output, and document how it works. Expand only when the first workflow earns its place.

04 — After launch

We don’t build it and disappear.

Most automations fail quietly: a password changes, a vendor sends a new invoice format, and nobody notices for weeks. Every Silver Lining workflow comes with:

Monitoring and alerts

We know when something fails, usually before you do.

Fixes within 1 business day

At no extra charge on any care plan.

A one-page monthly report

What ran, what was caught for your review, and the hours it saved.

Plain-English documentation

Everything is written down, so you’re never locked in.

Automation with a human in the loop.

We agree on data access, approval rules, and what happens when something looks unusual. No mystery decisions. No need to hand over the keys to everything.

05 — Pricing

Start with one. Keep it running.

Fixed prices. No hourly billing. No surprises.

5 hours a week of admin work costs roughly $500/mo in wages.

A few good questions

Straight answers.

Partly, and only inside QuickBooks. We switch on the features you already pay for, set them up properly, and connect them to your email, spreadsheets and other tools.
