Management Consulting for Owner-Led Businesses
More Revenue.
Leaner Operations.
A Business That Runs on Systems.
We work with owners of small and mid-sized businesses to diagnose what's holding you back, build a clear execution plan, and help you implement it. No generalist advice — operator-led, results-focused consulting.

What We Deliver
Three outcomes. Every engagement.
Increase Revenue
We identify the specific levers in your sales process, pricing, and service delivery that are leaving money on the table — and build a plan to capture it.
Increase Efficiency
We map your operations, find the bottlenecks costing you time and margin, and implement systems that let your team do more with what you have.
Clarify Leadership
We give you the KPIs, reporting cadence, and decision frameworks to run your business on data — not gut feel and firefighting.
Who We Help
Built for owners, not enterprise teams.
Our clients are owner-operators and CEOs running businesses between $500K and $15M in revenue. They're typically past early survival mode, but not yet running on consistent systems. They're working too hard for the margin they're seeing.
Revenue has plateaued or growth has stalled
Margins are shrinking despite growing sales
Too much depends on the owner personally
The team is reactive — not proactive
You don't have reliable numbers to make decisions
Industries We Serve
The Engagement Model
Two-phase approach. No guesswork.
Discovery Engagement
A structured 2–3 week assessment of your business. We interview your team, analyze your financials and operations, and deliver a prioritized 90-day execution plan.
- Current state assessment
- KPI baseline + bottleneck map
- Priority matrix
- 90-day execution plan
Post-Discovery Engagement
Qualified clients move into an ongoing engagement — advisory, fractional ops leadership, or implementation sprints — built around the priorities we identified in Discovery.
- Sales process + pipeline build
- Service delivery operations
- Finance KPI cadence
- SOPs + staffing structure

FAQ
Common questions.
What size companies do you typically work with?
We work with owner-led businesses between $500K and $15M in annual revenue. Most of our clients have 5–75 employees and are at an inflection point — growing fast, hitting a ceiling, or preparing for a transition.
What does Discovery actually cost?
Discovery is a fixed-fee engagement. Pricing ranges from $5,000 to $12,000 depending on the size and scope of the engagement, and covers the full assessment and 90-day plan. We'll confirm pricing on our initial call.
Do you implement, or just advise?
Both. Post-Discovery engagements can be advisory-only, fractional operations leadership, or hands-on implementation sprints. We match the engagement model to what you actually need.
How long before we see results?
Most clients have measurable wins within the first 90 days post-Discovery. Revenue impact and operational gains compound over a 6–12 month engagement.
What do you need from us during Discovery?
Access to your financials, key team members for interviews (2–3 hours total per person), and your honest assessment of where things stand. We do the analytical heavy lifting.
