If she can bring in more clients, increase your profit margin and help the business operation, maybe.
The problem is, how can you really increase your bottom line. There's only so much work one man can do. You can outsource some work but that reduces the profit margin, not to mention you still have to manage and oversee creatively. Would she protect your creative integrity and not just become 'oh, the clients want to change...'. Can you form a boutique agency and start charging higher fee? Would that defeat your clients hiring a freelancer to reduce their bottom line?
I personally feel doing that admin work is relatively easy. Invoice, SOW, and proposal can just follow a standard template I set up. Dealing with clients directly is part of freelancer's role.

- Because there isn't as much overhead without physical space and benefits, the client can get a lower rate with the same services.Jugarelly
- same services. It's also based on a talent pool where the right people are matched up with the right jobs.Jugarelly
- So she gets to decide who she's gonna use as a designer depending on type of work?tkmeister
