Fractional COO Services

Fractional Chief Operating Officer services for small businesses that have outgrown DIY operations but aren't ready to hire a full-time executive.

This is for you if...

  • Your business has momentum, but every decision still runs through you

  • You've hit a ceiling you can't break through by just working harder

  • You know you need operational leadership, but you can't justify a $150K+ salary yet

  • You have team members, contractors, or clients and nothing is documented

  • You're tired of reinventing the wheel every month

You didn't start a business to manage inboxes and put out fires.

You started it because you had a vision, a skill, a calling, a problem worth solving. Somewhere along the way, the work of running the business started eating the vision alive.

You're making decisions in the car between meetings. You're answering questions from team members at 9pm. You're the only one who knows how anything actually works, which means you're the only one who can do anything. That's not leadership. That's hostage negotiation with your own calendar.

A fractional COO changes that.

What You Get

I embed in your business as a part-time executive. That means I'm not an outside consultant sending reports. I'm in your operations, building and running the machine alongside you.

Deliverable 1 - Systems & SOPs

I document how your business actually works so it can run without you holding it all in your head. Onboarding, client delivery, project management, hiring, finance rhythms — all mapped, documented, and handoff-ready.

Deliverable 2 - Team & project leadership

I manage projects, lead your team through execution, and run the operational meetings you don't have time to run. You stay in visionary mode. I translate vision into tasks.

Deliverable 3 - Strategic planning & accountability

Quarterly planning, goal-setting, and the weekly or biweekly rhythm that keeps you accountable to the business you said you wanted to build.

Deliverable 4 - Hiring & team structure

When it's time to add a team member, I help you define the role, write the job description, run the process, and build the onboarding so your new hire actually sticks.

How to Get Started

Step 1 - Discovery Call (free, 30 minutes)

We talk through where you are, what's breaking, and what you need. If we're a fit, we move to a deeper intake.

Step 2 - Operational Audit

A paid deep dive into your current operations. I assess what's working, what's not, and what the next 90 days should prioritize. You get a written report either way — even if we don't work together beyond this.

Step 3 - Engagement

We scope a fractional engagement based on what the audit reveals. Most fractional COO engagements run 3 to 12 months at a set monthly retainer.

Investment

Fractional COO engagements are customized based on scope, team size, and time commitment. Monthly retainers typically start at a level comparable to a mid-level salary but at a fraction of the full-time cost.

Exact investment is scoped after the discovery call and audit.
