Your ops chaos isn't a hiring problem. It's a systems problem.
For founder-led businesses doing $500K–$2M a year that are growing faster than their systems. As your fractional COO I don't just hand over recommendations: I build the processes, automation and software myself, so the bottleneck is gone within weeks.
Fix how the work runs first. Then pick the tools.
Before you hire a COO, fix the bottleneck.
Most founders think they need a senior operations hire, one of the most expensive salaries in the company. Usually what's missing is a system, not a person. Client onboarding, reporting, billing and team capacity are handled by well-built processes and targeted automation, without adding a salary.
Everything runs through you
Every decision waits for you. When you step away, work stops.
Onboarding & handoffs
Each new client means days of manual work, and tasks get lost between people.
No clear numbers
You can't see team capacity, margin or where time leaks each week.
Too many tools
Twelve apps that don't connect. Data gets copied by hand and nobody knows which version is right.
The $1K Quick Win Audit.
Most engagements like this start with a 90-day contract. I start differently: we fix one process that costs you hours every week, such as client onboarding, invoicing, reporting or client communication. You see the result before committing to anything bigger.
No long contract
One fixed-scope engagement, $1,000, done in 1–2 weeks.
Who it's for
One specific bottleneck you feel every week. We pick it together on the call.
What you get
A working process and automation, handed over to your team with instructions.
If you want ongoing support after that, we continue as your fractional COO on a monthly retainer. Pricing on the call.
