Hey there, I'm

My story

From corporate Systems Advisor to Head Empress.

Marie Robertson-King, Perth Virtual Assistant and founder of Empress of Order
MailerLite Expert Asana Ambassador Mailchimp Certified

Empress of Order was born in 2018 when I made the decision to leave my senior corporate role in search of more balance. You know the drill: long hours, high pressure, and not much left in the tank at the end of the day.

Something had to change.

Now, I'm an award-winning Virtual Assistant helping women in business bring order, calm and structure to their days.

I spent 20 years in mining, aviation and oil and gas, building and running the systems, reporting and processes that keep big, complex operations on track. That world taught me how to bring order to genuine chaos: how to document a process so anyone can follow it, keep the important things from slipping through the cracks, and stay calm and clear when everything's moving at once.

Now I bring that same level of structure and attention to detail into the small business world, helping my clients get organised, stay on track, and feel supported.

I'm also co-owner of the Digital Mums Directory, which connects business owners with brilliant virtual assistants and digital experts.

How I work

Taking care of all the things.

If you're an ambitious business owner, chances are you've got all the things going on. You're great at the big picture, the ideas, the strategy, knowing what needs to be done.
But finishing? That's often where things get stuck.
That's where I come in.
Belbin testing

Completer Finisher

Orderly, detail-oriented, and focused on getting things across the line. In other words, if it's started, I'll make sure it gets finished.
VA Institute

Certified Quality VA

An Australian-based certification focused on industry excellence, reliability and high standards.
I'm obsessed with detail. I love organisation, order, and making life easier for my clients. I get a real kick out of a well-executed spreadsheet or a beautifully set-up system, and I'm known for delivering work to a high standard, even under pressure.
I'm also a confident communicator. I know you're busy, so I'm not in your inbox every five minutes, but I am someone who takes initiative, makes decisions, and keeps things moving.
If you're looking for someone who can step in and take things off your plate, we'll get along just fine.
The team

When you work with me, you get me (and my trusted team).

When you engage Empress of Order, you're working directly with me. As my business grows, I've brought in a small, carefully chosen team to support the work behind the scenes, but nothing goes out without my eye on it. You'll always get the same care, attention to detail, and consistency you signed up for.
My goal is simple: to help you feel supported, organised, and a whole lot calmer in your business.
Simon, part of the Empress of Order team

Meet Simon.

Simon helps out across all the behind-the-scenes work that keeps a business running.
He's spent more than 20 years in IT and runs his own distillery, so he's good with the tricky stuff and careful with the details. He's patient, precise, and happy to get stuck into whatever needs doing.
Whatever he takes on, you'll get the same care and consistency you'd expect from me. Having Simon on board simply means more hands to support you and your business.

Why work with me?

The right kind of support.

Because you don't just need help, you need the right kind of support. Here's what that looks like when you work with me.

I bring order to the chaos

When things feel messy or all over the place, I step in and create structure, systems, and a clear way forward.

I take things off your plate

Not just ticking boxes. I take ownership of tasks so you don't have to keep checking or chasing them.

I'm proactive, not reactive

I don't wait to be told what to do next. I look ahead, spot what needs attention, and keep things moving.

I value your time

You won't find me in your inbox every five minutes. I communicate clearly, efficiently, and with purpose.

I care about the details

From systems to spreadsheets, I make sure everything is done to a high standard. Even the things nobody sees.

Consistent, reliable support

When you work with me, you get me and a small, trusted team, so there's always someone you can rely on.
