Fractional C-Suite

You built a great business.
Now you need a leadership team.

Fractional CFO, CMO, and COO leadership for $5M–$20M owner-operated service businesses. C-level direction — not more vendors.

Why you're here

You've got something real. But you're still the one holding it together.

Revenue is strong. The team is in place. And yet every meaningful decision still runs through you.

  • You're still the one making every major decision.
  • Financial planning happens in spreadsheets you don't fully trust.
  • Marketing is whatever worked last quarter.
  • Operations only run smoothly when you're in the building.
  • You have a team — but you're still the bottleneck.
What real leadership looks like

CFO, CMO, and COO expertise working together on your business.

Three disciplines. One integrated leadership team. Every engagement is scoped to what your business actually needs today.

Finance (CFO)

Numbers you can trust. Decisions you can defend.

  • Monthly financials you can actually read.
  • Cash flow you can forecast, not guess.
  • Tax strategy that saves real money.
  • Financial decisions based on data, not gut.

Marketing (CMO)

Spend tied to revenue. Growth that scales.

  • Marketing spend tied directly to revenue.
  • Lead generation systems engineered to scale.
  • Brand strategy that compounds growth.
  • Content and campaigns that convert.

Operations (COO)

Processes that work without you in the room.

  • Processes built to run without micromanagement.
  • Team structure designed for the next stage.
  • Systems that scale without breaking.
  • You stop being the single point of failure.

Integrated Team

One leadership group. One direction.

  • CFO, CMO, and COO working from the same plan.
  • No disconnected vendors pulling in different directions.
  • Finance, marketing, and operations aligned on the same goals.
  • Decisions made together, executed coherently.
What you gain

Stop juggling vendors. Start leading.

Fractional leadership is measured in what the business feels like after it's in place. Four specific shifts.

Clarity

You stop guessing what the numbers mean or what the next move should be.

Capacity

You get your time back. Strategic decisions live with the leadership team.

Coherence

Finance, marketing, and operations stop contradicting each other.

Leverage

Every dollar of marketing and every ops hire is planned against a forecast, not a hunch.

Fractional leadership services

Start with what you need most. Add the rest as you scale.

Most clients begin with the CFO engagement — financial clarity is the foundation everything else is built on. Then layer in marketing or operations leadership when the business is ready. Or bring in the full integrated team from day one.

CFO — Financial Clarity & Control

Bookkeeping, reporting, forecasting, and tax strategy. The financial clarity you need to make confident decisions and the strategic partnership that makes the numbers actually shape the business.

Foundation
from $600/mo

Clean books and monthly reporting.

C-Suite
from $2,200/mo

Strategic partnership with tax prep, forecasting, and ongoing advisory.

CMO — Marketing Leadership

Brand strategy, lead generation, content systems, and growth planning. Marketing that actually drives revenue — managed by an operator who has scaled marketing organizations before.

Is this you?

We're direct about fit.

Fractional C-suite is a premium engagement. Two quick lists — who it works for, and who it doesn't. If either list surprises you, we can discuss it on the discovery call.

You're a fit if

  • $5M–$20M in annual revenue.
  • You have a team, but you're still making every strategic decision.
  • Financial planning is reactive, not proactive.
  • Marketing works but you can't explain why or scale it consistently.
  • Operations depend on you being in the building.
  • You're ready to lead like a CEO, not just work like an operator.

Not a fit if

  • Under $5M — you need execution more than leadership right now.
  • Over $20M — you likely need full-time C-suite with equity.
  • Not willing to look at your numbers honestly.
  • Looking for task execution, not strategic direction.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Most clients start with the CFO engagement — financial clarity has to come first — and layer in CMO or COO as the business is ready. Or bring in the full integrated team from day one if that's what the business needs. It's scoped to you.
Vendors execute assignments. A fractional leadership team strategizes, makes decisions, and connects the dots across every function. You don't need more people doing tasks — you need C-level thinking guiding the business.
Most $5M–$20M operators already have a team. The gap isn't doers — it's senior leadership translating strategy into execution. Fractional C-suite fills that gap without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
Start with one function. CFO Foundation at $600/mo is a low-friction entry point. Add CMO and COO leadership as the business grows into it.
Under $5M — you need execution, not leadership. Over $20M — you likely need full-time C-suite with equity. Not willing to look honestly at the numbers — this engagement won't work. Looking for task execution — hire a vendor instead.
