• Additional expenses can be incurred for couriers, postage, specialty supplies, outside printing services, etc. and will be charged at cost.

Depending on the size of the job, The Ultimate Secretary tries to provide all clients with a 24 hour turnaround time.

About Us

The Ultimate Secretary was founded in 1988 by Julie Anne Kershner. While working as an Assistant Executive Director of non-profit trade associations, she decided to open the company to provide her skills and expertise to entrepreneurs and small businesses.  She posses over 30 years of “real world” experience in the administrative field.  The Ultimate Secretary is an independently contracted business owner, not an employee.  We have been in business since 1988 in the historical downtown district of Longwood, Florida.

The Ultimate Secretary prides itself on the ability to listen to each client’s concerns, and then develop and implement a plan for every situation.

The Ultimate Secretary assists small businesses and is cost effective because you only pay for time worked for you. As an independent contractor, services provided by The Ultimate Secretary are tax deductible!
