Taina Austin is one of the best people I know for computer work. She is reliable, works fast and has a good feeling for what the customer wants. I even brought her to Switzerland to work because it's nice to work with her and she takes her job seriously.

"Taina made my website match exactly the vision I had beforehand. Even though I had lots of small changes to suit my taste, she kept to the schedule and to the original quote. I will certainly come back to her in future and I can recommend Taina to others"

“Tanssikoulu Jari Aaltonen” was founded in 1994 and Taina Austin has been my right hand for over 25 years. During that time, she has lived in Helsinki (Finland), London, Manchester and Israel. Taina has been my assistant almost every day all these years, regardless of where she’s lived. In addition, Taina visits us at our home in Finland 2–3 times a year for about a week at a time, where she handles tasks on site.
Taina's completed/still ongoing tasks include:
- Building and updating websites
- Solving IT and email problems
- Solving problems related to phones, tablets and music equipment
- Building and running an e-commerce store
- Helping with bookkeeping
- Arranging travel and accommodation for us and visiting teachers
- Creating ideas for our events
- Providing emotional support in running the company
During her visits to Finland, Taina is an acting entrepreneur in the company and takes on all kinds of work tasks as well as measures that promote our well-being. She assists with teaching tasks when necessary, organizes company events with us, organizes office filing - practically everything possible that the company needs at that moment.
The long-term employment relationship speaks for itself: We are very satisfied with Taina's work, both remotely and on-site. We are one of the largest dance schools in Finland, and without the slightest doubt we can say that we would not be in this position without Taina's hard work and help. We can warmly recommend her for a wide variety of tasks, because if something is new to Taina, she studies it and soon does it to the fullest.
