Strategic operations support designed to fit your business.

Benefits of Hiring a Fractional COO

Growing companies need operational expertise, but hiring a full-time executive isn't always the right move. Hiring an operations specialist gives your small business strategic operations leadership tailored to your actual needs - flexible, focused, and without long-term overhead.

You get:

  • Senior-level expertise on your terms - Strategic guidance and hands-on execution without committing to a full-time salary and benefits

  • Immediate impact - Jump straight into solving problems with someone who's done this before

  • Objective perspective - Fresh eyes on your systems and workflows, free from internal politics

  • Scalable support - Adjust the level of involvement as your business evolves

Ideal for companies ready to build real operational infrastructure but want the flexibility to grow strategically.

Two Ways to Partner

Project Based Consulting

What It Is

Sometimes you don't need a long-term partner- sometimes you just need someone to come in, fix the thing, and get out of your way. I offer project-based engagements with clear scope, deliverables, and timeline.

This works well when you have a defined need: implement a CRM, create SOPs, build a website, design a client onboarding system, or conduct an operational audit.

Types of Projects

Digital Infrastructure:

  • Website design and development

  • Platform setup and implementation

  • Digital systems integration

Operational Systems:

  • CRM implementation and training

  • Workflow design and process mapping

  • SOP creation and documentation

Infrastructure Building:

  • Employee handbooks and policy development

  • Client onboarding/offboarding systems

  • Operational audits and recommendations

Program Development:

  • Training program design

  • Team onboarding systems

  • Volunteer or program coordination frameworks

How Pricing Works

Projects are quoted based on scope and deliverables. After our initial conversation, I'll send you a detailed proposal with clear pricing, timeline, and what's included. No surprises.

DISCOVERY

We start with conversations - understanding your business, your challenges, and where you want to go. This might include interviews with your team, reviewing workflows, and analyzing your current operations.

IMPLEMENTATION & SUPPORT

I work alongside you to execute the plan - whether that's a focused project or ongoing partnership. You get hands-on support, not just a binder of recommendations.

Let's Talk

Ongoing Support

What It Is

I step in as your part-time Chief Operating Officer on a monthly retainer basis. Think of me as your strategic operations partner—someone who understands your business, knows where you're headed, and builds the systems to get you there.

We work together continuously to optimize workflows, implement tools, coordinate projects, and make operational decisions that support sustainable growth. You get COO-level expertise without the full-time commitment or six-figure salary.

Who It's For

This is for businesses that need ongoing strategic operations support:

  • You're growing but your backend can't keep up

  • You have operational challenges that aren't one-and-done fixes

  • You need someone who knows your business and can think strategically about what's next

  • You want consistent operations leadership but don't need (or want) a full-time executive

What’s Included

Strategic Operations Leadership:
Ongoing counsel on operational decisions, resource allocation, and structural planning that supports your growth.

Systems & Process Design:
Building and refining workflows, SOPs, and operational frameworks that bring clarity and consistency to your business.

Tool Implementation & Optimization:
Setting up and managing CRMs, project management systems, and operational tools that fit how you actually work.

Project & Vendor Coordination:
Managing cross-functional initiatives, external partnerships, and ensuring projects move forward smoothly.

Documentation & Training:
Creating clear operational documentation so your team stops reinventing the wheel every time something comes up.

Monthly Strategic Sessions:
Regular check-ins to assess what's working, what's not, and where we need to focus next.

Pricing is based on a monthly retainer that reflects the scope of work and hours needed. Every business is different, so we'll discuss your specific needs and create a custom engagement that fits your budget and goals. Typical retainer engagements start around 10-15 hours per month.
