Get off the truck. Keep the margin.
Fractional COO and operations consulting for contractors and trades businesses. We install job costing, scheduling, crew accountability, and cash flow systems so the work gets done right without you running every job and every quote. Built on 15 years of C-suite operating experience, including trades and field service clients.
Built for owner-operators ready to become owners.
Good fit
You run a construction, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, or field service business doing $300k to $5M+ a year. The crews are busy, but quotes, scheduling, collections, and hiring still live in your head and your phone. You want the business to run on systems, not on you being everywhere.
Not the right fit yet
You’re pre-revenue, a solo operator who wants to stay solo, or you’re looking for lead generation services. Our work starts once there is real revenue and a team to systemize.
Start with The Small Business MBA.
The same operating playbook we install for clients, taught operator to operator for you to apply yourself. Foundation, market and revenue, operations, and scale. Free. No card required.

Fractional COO, CMO and CFO engagements from $5,000 a month, scoped on a free Build Call.
Every engagement is shaped around the business, so there is no menu to pick from. Take the assessment, then book a free 30 minute Build Call. If it is a fit, a written proposal follows: the scope, the price range and the timeline.
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.
Take the assessment
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.
