Professional organizers help their clients organize homes and offices.

Professional organizers provide a variety of services for clients, including:

• Setting up filing systems
• Removing clutter
• Teaching clients how to maintain organization systems

Organizers create an action plan for clients and help them implement the plan. They provide both information and products for clients. For example, organizers may sell planners that help clients track information or manage schedules.

Professional organizers may focus on particular types of clients. Some help small business owners. Others work in households and may help plan weekly menus, set up a pantry, or organize the house.

Because most are self-employed, professional organizers must also be good businesspeople. They market their services, attract clients, and track expenses.
