The operator your business
has been missing

The problem

Your business is growing. Your operations haven't kept up.

01

You're the fallback for everything

Every decision, every problem, every bottleneck flows back to you. There's no senior operator driving day-to-day execution with real accountability.

02

Execution is inconsistent

Projects stall, deadlines slip, and no one owns follow-through. Your team is capable but lacks the structure and leadership to execute reliably.

03

Processes and tools don't scale

What worked at 5 people breaks at 20. Workflows are manual, tools are disconnected, and the operational infrastructure hasn't caught up with the business.

04

You want to exit, but you've never prepared for it

Buyers don't just look at revenue. They look at how the business runs without you. Without clean operations, documented processes, and a team that executes independently, you won't get the valuation your business is worth.

What we do

Full operational support, embedded in your business

We work alongside your team, doing the work a senior COO would do, at a fraction of the cost.

01

Process Optimization

We audit and map your workflows end to end, identifying bottlenecks, redundancies, and gaps. Then we redesign the processes so work flows faster, with less manual intervention and fewer errors.

What this includes
  • Workflow audits and current-state mapping
  • Bottleneck identification and root cause analysis
  • SOP documentation and process standardization
  • Automation of repeatable, manual tasks
  • Cross-functional process alignment
02

Technology Implementation

We select, configure, and integrate the right tools across your entire stack, so your technology actually supports the way your business runs.

Across your stack
  • Finance stack
  • Sales and revenue tools
  • CRM and client management
  • Project and operations management
  • HR and people systems
  • Reporting and business intelligence
  • Communication and knowledge management
  • Automation and integrations
  • Stack rationalization
03

Strategic Planning

We translate your growth targets into operational roadmaps with clear priorities, owners, and timelines so strategy doesn't stay in a deck and the business moves in one direction.

What this includes
  • Operational goal-setting aligned to growth targets
  • Quarterly planning and prioritization frameworks
  • KPI definition and performance dashboards
  • Accountability structures and decision-making frameworks
  • Exit readiness for acquisition or transition
04

Team Leadership

We mentor your managers, lead cross-functional meetings, and build the internal leadership capacity so the business stops depending on the founder for every decision.

What this includes
  • Manager coaching and leadership development
  • Hiring process design and organizational structure
  • Team performance cadences and check-ins
  • Company culture and values operationalization
  • Organizational design and role clarity
Working together

From discovery call to operational results

1
Diagnose
Discovery call

A short call to understand your current operations, vendors, and the work slowing you down. We review what's in place, then send a scoped proposal with a fixed price.

2
Kickoff
Align the plan

Walk through your scoped proposal, introduce the team, and align on first-month priorities and the operational baseline.

3
Audit
Map and prioritize

Map current workflows, vendors, and tooling. Identify the highest-leverage fixes and design the operating cadence.

4
Embed
Run and improve

Execute on the roadmap, owning vendor coordination, process improvements, and team rhythm. Monthly reporting, quarterly priorities.

How we work

Project-based or ongoing, your choice

Every engagement starts with understanding where you are. From there, we scope the right model for what you need.

Project-Based

Scoped. Fixed price. Defined outcome.

Best when you have a specific problem to solve: a process that needs redesigning, a tool that needs implementing, or a systems audit that needs doing. We scope it, price it, and deliver it.

Clear scope and fixed price agreed upfront

Defined deliverable and timeline

No ongoing commitment required

Can transition to monthly support after delivery

Typical projects
Process audit and redesign · Tool selection and implementation · SOP documentation · Systems integration · Exit readiness prep
Operations Monthly

Embedded. Ongoing. Active monthly.

Best when you need a senior operator in your corner every month, running initiatives, managing execution, coaching your team, and keeping the business moving forward.

Dedicated ops lead embedded in your business

Fixed monthly fee, no long-term contract

Scale scope up or down as needs change

Covers all four pillars as priorities evolve

What's covered each month
Weekly check-ins · Process and systems work · Team coaching · Strategic planning support · Tool management · Ongoing execution

Not sure which fits? We scope every engagement individually. Tell us where you are and we will recommend the right model.

What you receive

Your operation, documented and running

Case studies

What operational support looks like in practice

Three recent operational engagements: situation, work, and outcome.

SaaS · Series A

From founder-run chaos to a team that executes on its own

Situation

A 28-person SaaS company had just closed their Series A. The founder was still approving every hire, running every client call, and fielding every internal question. No operating rhythm, no clear ownership, nothing documented.

What we did
  • Built a management cadence and accountability structure across three teams
  • Documented core processes and handed ownership to team leads
  • Implemented a project management system the whole company actually uses
  • Coached two senior hires into effective managers within 90 days
Agency · Project-Based

Overhauled a broken delivery process before a major client renewal

Situation

A digital agency with 18 staff was consistently missing delivery milestones. Client satisfaction was declining, the team was burning out, and a key account worth 30% of revenue was up for renewal in 60 days.

What we did
  • Mapped and redesigned the end-to-end client delivery workflow
  • Introduced a capacity planning model to prevent over-commitment
  • Consolidated three disconnected tools into one system
  • Client retained and expanded the contract at renewal
E-Commerce · Exit Prep

Prepared a founder-dependent business for acquisition

Situation

An e-commerce brand doing $8M in revenue had a term sheet on the table. The buyer flagged that the business was entirely founder-dependent, with no documented processes, no management layer, and no operational infrastructure.

What we did
  • Documented all core operational processes across fulfillment, support, and finance
  • Built a management layer that could run the business post-acquisition
  • Cleaned up the tech stack and integrated all reporting into one dashboard
  • Deal closed at the original valuation with no further diligence flags
