Company Profile

 

 

Office Solutions ME was officially founded by Kathrine Farris in June of 2009. Kathrine had a vision of using and sharing her skills and experience to help Maine businesses be more efficient, productive, and successful by outsourcing their administrative functions. Kathrine envisioned partnering with companies and becoming an integral part of their business strategy and planning by providing professional administrative support that they could rely on and trust.

 

Upon researching the use of outsourced administrative support, Kathrine discovered the term Virtual Assistant and with it a wealth of information. It was this research that lead to the official beginnings of the company.

 

Since its inception, Office Solutions ME has been extremely successful in reaching and assisting Maine companies. The success and development of this company has been rewarding and exciting for all involved.
