Welcome to Saturnian Systems

This is the place where purpose-driven business owners get support designing adaptable business systems that spark serenity.

Why

Saturn?

The name “Saturnian Systems” was an inspired moment for our founder, Mckinley, as she sat in a bustling coffee shop, envisioning the future of her business and brainstorming names that encapsulated its essence. Amidst the hum of espresso machines and the aroma of freshly ground coffee, the name “Saturnian Systems” came to her, and an instant connection was made. Saturn, with its celestial significance, embodies qualities such as structure, responsibility, accountability, sustainable growth, integrity, productivity, purpose, and discipline. The very essence of Saturn encapsulated the values that our company aspires to embody when supporting clients and organizing our team.

OUR VALUES

Adaptability

Adaptability is crucial for transformative business systems. We ensure our clients are equipped with systems that not only support their current needs but also have the flexibility to grow and change seamlessly with confidence and ease in the ever-changing business landscape.
Serenity

Serenity is the result of a smoothly running business with high productivity and sustainable growth. We integrate this commitment into our system designs, leading with intuition and leveraging technology for streamlined processes. The outcome is not just increased productivity but also a serene environment fostering rest, stillness, and freedom for our clients and their teams.
Structure

At Saturnian Systems, we understand that businesses need well-defined and robust structures that support us in navigating challenges. Our commitment to this value is reflected in the systems we create—ones that not only support business boundaries but also make organizational sense, tailored to the specific needs and learning styles of the humans they serve.
Purpose

A system without purpose is akin to chaos; therefore, we delve into understanding the ‘whys’ of our clients’ businesses to inform the ‘hows’ of our systems. Aligning systems with the values of the businesses we serve is not just a goal but a guiding principle.
Integrity

Our commitment to integrity extends to respecting client boundaries, delivering on time, and transparently communicating any issues. Saturnian Systems is not merely a service provider; it’s a partner on a journey of integrity, embodying values that shape every interaction, system, and structure we create.

We are so grateful to be able to donate 10% of our net income to the Transgender Law Center, Native American Youth and Family Center PDX, and Sisters of the Road. Thank you for supporting our business and the causes we care about!

About Our Founder

Hi, I’m Mckinley Ropers, the Founder of Saturnian Systems!

I’m a Saturn-ruled, Moon-obsessed queer femme here to gift you sustainable systems & automation. As your systems strategist, I aim to give you the time to start new projects, spend time with your loved ones, scale your business, and take care of yourself.

After starting my entrepreneurial journey in 2021 as a freelance virtual assistant, I was able to see behind the scenes of different types of businesses and learn what methods created real results. I noticed that my clients excel in their expertise but struggle to scale efficiently due to a lack of organized business systems. They spent so much time extinguishing fires that they couldn’t hire additional support or work on new offers. To address this challenge, I delved into learning about systems, automation, and the backend intricacies that keep businesses running. In October 2022, I began my new role as an online business manager & systems strategist and haven’t looked back. In establishing Saturnian Systems, my vision is to expand our team and assist clients in creating the holistic business systems and processes of their dreams.

When I’m not working, you can find me cuddled up on the couch with my girlfriend and our adorable pup, watching reality TV, cooking something delicious, crocheting, baking bread, or enjoying time in nature with friends and family.
