A COO for your business.
Without the
full-time hire.
A chief operating officer,
on a part-time basis.
A fractional COO is a chief operating officer who works with your business part-time — usually a set cadence each month — owning your operations, systems, and execution at the executive level.
This is not advisory work. A fractional COO embeds into your leadership, makes the calls that need making, and builds the operating infrastructure directly. You get the strategy and the implementation in one person.
The model exists for a simple reason: most growing businesses need executive operations leadership long before they can justify a $200k+ full-time COO. A fractional engagement gives you that leadership now — and scales with you until a full-time hire makes sense.
Executive impact.
A fraction of the cost.
A fraction of the cost
A full-time COO runs $150k–$300k+ a year plus benefits and equity. A fractional engagement delivers the same leadership for a fraction of that — on a retainer you control.
Executive impact from week one
No 6-month onboarding. A fractional COO comes in at the leadership level and starts moving things immediately — because the work is operations, not learning your product.
Scale up or down
Your needs change. A fractional engagement flexes with them — more support during a build or transition, less when things are running. No long-term contract lock-in.
The right fit for where you are
Most businesses need executive operations leadership before they can justify a full-time C-suite hire. Fractional closes that gap — and transitions to full-time when the business demands it.
Five areas of ownership.
The way work gets done, defined.
Mapping, streamlining, and documenting your core operations so they run consistently — without you in the middle of every step. SOPs, workflows, and delivery systems that hold under scale.
Infrastructure that runs the business.
Tool stack rationalisation, CRM, project management, reporting dashboards, and the integrations that connect them. Including custom AI tools when that is the right answer.
A team that runs without you.
Role clarity, decision frameworks, operating rhythms, and delegation structure. Your team learns to make good calls independently — so the business stops depending on your presence.
The plan, actually implemented.
Quarterly strategic priorities turned into a 90-day operating plan, then executed against measurable outcomes. The translation between your vision and what ships this month — owned by someone who implements it, not just decks it.
The numbers you run the business on.
Unit economics, gross margin by offer and client, cash flow visibility, and a monthly close that produces decisions rather than a statement nobody reads. The P&L treated as an operating tool — connecting your delivery model to margin so growth compounds instead of just climbing the top line.
You need the leadership.
Not the full-time seat.
A fractional COO fits the business that has outgrown DIY operations but is not ready — or does not yet need — a permanent C-suite hire. If any of these sound like you, the model is built for your stage.
Revenue is growing but margins are not
You are still the bottleneck in most decisions
Operations live in your head, not in systems
Every new client or hire breaks something
You need executive thinking but cannot justify a full-time COO
Revenue is up but you cannot see margin by offer, client, or channel
You have outgrown DIY operations but not a C-suite hire
Finance and strategy.
Where the real leverage is.
Operations keeps the business running. Finance and strategy decide where it goes. A fractional COO owns both — because the numbers and the plan are where the seat is actually earned.
Your P&L, as an operating tool.
A fractional COO connects the delivery model to the numbers: unit economics by offer, gross margin by client and service line, cash flow visibility, and a monthly close that produces decisions instead of a statement nobody reads. The work is not bookkeeping — it is making margin and cash visible enough to run on, so hiring, pricing, and investment decisions stop being guesses.
Strategy that ships, not sits.
Most strategy work produces a document. A fractional COO turns your priorities into a 90-day operating plan with owners, milestones, and the systems to track them — then implements it. The translation between where the business is going and what gets built this quarter, owned by the same person who can actually build it. Strategy is only useful once it ships.
Map it. Build it. Run it.
Map It
A focused session to find the gap — what's breaking down, what it's costing you, and what the right solution actually is. You leave with a clear operating plan and a scope that fits your stage.
Build It
I implement it. The processes, the systems, the team operating structure, the tech — whatever the map says your business needs. Done for you, at the executive level. No spec documents to manage.
Run It
Ongoing fractional COO support on a retainer — keeping the operating system running, new builds, strategic input, and leadership cover as the business evolves.
Engagements run on a retainer scaled to your needs — from focused part-time support to an embedded cadence during a build or transition. The scope flexes as your business changes.
What this looks like.
80%
Drop in client support load
After rebuilding the delivery infrastructure and adding a custom AI tool trained on the client's method, support load dropped by 80% and completion rates improved significantly — the kind of outcome executive operations leadership produces.
