FAQs
Why hire a Fractional COO?
A Fractional COO gives you the expertise of a full-time operations leader without the overhead. You’ll get structure, systems, and accountability to help your business scale, while you stay focused on vision and growth.
Think of it as the strategic sounding board and implementer you’ve been needing.
How much time do you need from me?
It depends. Most of our frameworks require 1–2 hours per week from you, with heavier input up front and less as systems take hold. The goal is always to give you time back, not add to your plate. We tailor our approach to your capacity and focus on the actions that move the needle most.
Can you work with my current team?
Absolutely. We integrate with your existing team to streamline responsibilities, improve communication, and remove bottlenecks. Most teams actually feel more supported and less overwhelmed as a result.
If you’ve never had operations support in your business, we can help you design the right role from the ground up and provide recurring support to make it stick.
What’s the difference between hiring an internal ops leader and a Fractional COO?
Hiring internally can be great if you’re ready for the cost of a full-time employee or executive (often $150k–$250k+). A Fractional COO gives you senior-level expertise at a fraction of the cost, with the flexibility to scale up or down as your business evolves. Many clients start with a Fractional COO, then transition to an internal hire once the systems and playbooks are in place.
What industries do you serve?
We work best with service-based and product-friendly businesses between $500k and $5M in revenue. That includes agencies, studios, professional services, and hybrid service + product businesses. The real requirement isn’t industry, it’s a founder who’s ready to get out of the weeds and grow.
