Fractional COO Services Notebook of a COO

Run the firm. Not just the matters.

Fractional COO and law firm operations consulting for small and mid-size firms. We install intake systems, matter workflows, billing and realization reporting, and staff accountability so partners can bill instead of managing operations after hours. Built on 15 years of C-suite operating experience, including legal industry clients.

Who this is for, who it isn't

Built for firm owners, not BigLaw committees.

Good fit

You own or manage a firm doing $300k to $5M+ in annual revenue. The book of business is healthy, but intake, collections, staffing, and reporting all land on a partner’s desk after hours. You want a firm that runs like a business.

Not the right fit yet

You’re looking for practice-of-law guidance, marketing-only help, or you’re a solo just getting started. Our lane is the business side of the firm: people, process, cash flow, and reporting.

The honest "no" cases

Some operators reach out and the right answer is "not us, not yet, or not at all." Saying it upfront saves everyone time.

If you're under $300k in revenue: the operating layer isn't your binding constraint yet. Get to product-market fit on one customer first. Use the Foundation Builder Field Guide.

If you want a coach who hands you frameworks: we're builders, not coaches. We install systems. We don't sit in calls and ask Socratic questions. There are good coaches out there. We're not one of them.

If you want a one-month engagement: the operating layer takes 3 to 6 months to install honestly. Less than that is theater. We won't take the money for it.

If you want the install for $1,500/mo: embedded executive support has a real floor. Below $5,000 a month the work shape changes from "we install this" to "we suggest you install this." That's coaching, not fractional.

Free. Your score, where the business leaks, and the one next step we would take in your place. If it is a fractional engagement, the Build Call is next.
