Our Story
Hello!
My name is Savanna Smith, and I am the owner of Busy Bees. I started this company back in 2025 with only two clients and perseverance. I left my W2 job managing a branch for a moving company at the end of 2024 and went out on my own doing administrative work, similar to a virtual assistant. What started as me doing part-time virtual work for two small companies grew into something larger and much more amazing.
I realized that there are SO many small companies that don't know what they necessarily need, but they're struggling with taking inbound calls, scheduling appointments, reaching out to clients, and more. I've had clients who aren't familiar in how to set up W2 employees in payroll and they're afraid of owing the IRS for a bunch of unpaid taxes. This begs the question of how can they find an office administrator who they can pay as a contractor? What happens if things get slow and they can't afford to keep working them full time?
This is how we ultimately ended up specializing in small and growing companies. We work with owner operators and small companies across the United States and across a variety of industries. Our clients aren't required to pay employee taxes or unemployment insurance for us. We bill only for the hours we're working and if it gets slow, that's okay! We don't have a minimum set of hours for those who use us regularly.
Busy Bees was created with the idea of being a single stop for small business owners to find the help they need without all the extra hassle.

Owner
My name is Savanna Smith and I own Busy Bees LLC.
I grew up in New Plymouth, graduated and moved out at 18 years old. I got my associates in Criminal Justice at 19 years old and then my husband and I bought our first house when I was 20.
My husband, Patrick, and I love to travel the world. We've been to Ireland, Scotland, England, Germany, Austria, Lichtenstein (all 10 seconds of it haha!), Switzerland, Peru, Dominican Republic, and of course many states inside of the US.
We have 3 dogs; a Pocket Pitt named Hope who comes with me to the office every day, a Corgi named Gimli, and a black Great Pyrenees named Pepper!
Tyler Reed
Business Manager
I’m Tyler, born and raised right here in Idaho So I was basically grown with the potatoes, dirt and all.
I spent a few years on the Oregon Coast, where I built much of my retail experience while enjoying life in a beautiful coastal community.
Outside of work, I’m a creative person who enjoys hobbies like crochet, drawing, fishing, and camping. I like hobbies that let me make something, get outside, or simply enjoy the moment.
One of my biggest goals is to travel the world, experience new places, and collect a few good stories along the way.
