Department

Administration

Exists when the daily paperwork — invoicing, data entry, filing, scheduling coordination, permit tracking — requires dedicated staff. Administration is the operational glue that keeps the business organized. Before this department exists, everyone is doing their own admin work between their real job. It becomes real when the owner realizes that paying someone to handle paperwork is cheaper than having technicians or managers do it.
