When is it better to hire an office manager instead?

When there is a full-time role's worth of work that needs someone physically present every day. Until then, an hour bank that flexes month to month costs less than salary, benefits and management time, and does not disappear when someone goes on vacation.

Who approves spending?

The company. Your Operations Manager prepares the comparison and the recommendation, and financial decisions always go through a person on the company's side.

How many people in the company can make requests?

As many as you need. Every request reaches the same Operations Manager, and all of them appear in the same report.

How do we see what the hours were spent on?

Every task is tracked to the minute and documented with a description of what was done. Nothing is rounded up.

Managed Business Operations for Growing Companies

This is Ankora's Personal Operations Management in practice, an alternative to hiring a personal assistant for executives, the self-employed, growing companies and small offices.

In short

In a company that grows fast, operations scatter between the founders, the office manager and whoever has a free moment. Ankora gives small and growing companies in Israel a dedicated Operations Manager, backed by AI orchestration, who takes ownership of vendors, procurement, office needs and business travel. It is a layer that joins your existing team, not another role to recruit and manage. The company pays only for hours actually worked, and can see at any moment what is in progress and what is done.

What it looks like in practice

An office move or expansion

Contractors, furniture, connectivity, cleaning and movers. Your Operations Manager coordinates every vendor on one timeline, checks the work and updates management only when a decision is needed.

Procurement nobody owns

Equipment for new hires, subscriptions, service contracts and recurring orders. Your Operations Manager compares quotes, orders after approval and tracks renewal dates, so no commitment renews without someone deciding it should.

A business trip for several people

Flights, accommodation, ground transport and meetings, coordinated together and monitored for changes. If something moves, your Operations Manager handles it in real time.

The tasks between the roles

A repair at the office, a team event, holiday gifts. Things everyone knows need doing and nobody owns. Now someone does.

What Ankora takes on

Ongoing operational support

For small teams that need more, without hiring more.

Vendor & procurement management

Comparison, coordination and quality control in one place, across a vetted vendor network.

Reporting & clarity

See what is in progress, what is done, what needs attention, and how much time went into each task.

What changes after a month

One address for everything without an owner, instead of a thread in the team chat.
Founders and team members go back to the job they were hired for.
Vendors, contracts and preferences are documented in one place, and do not leave with an employee who does.

Operational infrastructure that scales with you, not against you.
