The Struggle is Real Real

Your Business Called Me
and Said You Need Help.

You're growing faster than you can say "systems" and a lot of important activities are being neglected. You've got leads that haven't been contacted; invoices that haven't been paid; and files all over the place. I understand you're busy, and there's no judgment. I'm here, cardigan sleeves rolled up, comfy slacks on, ready to organize and manage all the details so you can focus on being

the CEO.

I'm your sleeves-rolled-up; elbow-deep; operations-minded support system.  

I make practical, informed decisions and keep a keen eye on all of the moving parts to ensure things don't slip through the cracks. You need me on your team if...

You're a hard-working small business owner who excels in doing what you love, but you're too busy to keep up with all of the details of keeping your business operations aligned 

You wish you had some help communicating with clients, contractors, and vendors because you feel like you spend more time in meetings than growing your business

You have a hard time staying organized 

You know you need to have better systems in place, but again, who has time to work on that?

What is an
Operations Manager?

An operations manager is the vital force behind a company's efficient functionality, orchestrating daily activities to maximize productivity. They meticulously plan and direct business processes, ensuring seamless coordination within a team. Their focus on resource management encompasses personnel, materials, and equipment. Ultimately, they are problem-solvers, adept at resolving operational issues. They are deeply involved in the day-to-day activities of the business, acting as a buffer between the executive officers and the team. A fractional Operations Manager is a contract worker. This makes them a cost-effective alternative to a full-time managerial employee.

Can I Be Upfront for a Minute?

Really Quickly

My approach might work for you if...

You're a solopreneur, or a small startup with 2-20 team members who is growing rapidly

You're burnt out from doing it all and you are convinced

that you need an operations-minded professional on your team in order to scale your business 

You're not afraid of using technology (because I  leverage affordable software as much as possible in order to improve workflows)

You prefer to avoid drama, you're friendly and respectful to all human beings, and you just want to work hard and get things done 

My approach won't work for
you if... 

You're a medium-large sized company who has been in business for awhile and doesn't like change 

You aren't truly ready to hand off some of your responsibilities or you're a micro-manager

You aren't willing to try technology or test new methods

You struggle with treating people in a kind and respectful manner
