A Timely Solution was established by Mary Ann Pate in 2002 to help busy clients become more productive by organizing their homes, their offices, and their lives. Previously, Mary Ann spent over 25 years helping large corporations and startups achieve their objectives. She hired, coached and trained hundreds of people.

A Timely Solution serves corporate executives, small business owners, individual homeowners, retired persons, and people who are simply overwhelmed. As productivity consultants, we focus on assessing clients' issues, analyzing the systems and procedures being used, recommending appropriate modifications, assisting with the implementation, and providing training to ensure self-sufficiency after we leave. We are expert at creating new environments that meet clients' needs. We believe that clients are most successful at maintaining new systems if they are tailored to their specific requirements.

A Timely Solution works with clients one-on-one, remotely over the phone, or in a workshop environment. We provide organizing assistance to businesses and individuals throughout the United States.

A Timely Solution is a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers, the National Association of Women Business Owners, the Council of Business Advisors, and Women in Consulting. Mary Ann Pate is past President of the Bay Area Chapter of the National Association of Professional Organizers.
