DAY-TO-DAY STUDIO ADMIN
your vision. our follow-through.
Bringing someone into your business shouldn't mean giving up control. It means deciding what needs your attention and what can move forward without you.
You set the vision
Creative decisions, client relationships, and final approvals stay with you. We agree on responsibilities upfront, including what we can handle independently and when to check in.
we keep you informed
You shouldn’t have to chase updates to know what’s happening. We establish a communication rhythm that gives you visibility into progress, outstanding questions, and anything that needs a decision.
we work with what you have
Support starts with understanding your existing tools and habits. Where something needs improving, we recommend practical changes that make your day easier.
the arrangement can evolve.
As we learn your business, we can revisit priorities and adjust the scope together. You don’t need to anticipate every task before we begin.
how we work together

We walk through how your business runs today and pinpoint what's taking up too much of your time.
02 setup sprint
Two weeks to build the systems you need — invoicing, project tracking, templates, scheduling, and more.

same creative business. better infrastructure.
BEHIND FINE TOOTH
Fine Tooth Studio grew out of years spent managing productions, multimillion-dollar budgets, logistics, and all the details that keep creative work moving. I saw how much time freelancers were losing to the business side of their work — and how valuable the right operational support could be.Fine Tooth brings that support to independent creatives, so you can spend less time running the business and more time doing the work.
