Business owners take charge of their businesses.
You didn’t become a business owner to live in constant crisis mode—but growth brings pressure, and pressure reveals cracks. From sleepless nights to late invoices, running a company means confronting hard truths and acting fast. The good news?
You’re not alone—and you’re not without options. As a business owner, you juggle a thousand tasks—but that doesn’t mean you should do them all. By identifying the root issues and putting systems behind your solutions, you can stop reacting and start leading with intention.
We help business owners eliminate sleepless nights by providing fractional executive leadership that delivers clarity, structure, and results
A Fractional COO builds operational systems and improves AR collections. The COO brings structure to the chaos. They assess your internal processes, identify inefficiencies, and implement systems that keep your business running smoothly. From team accountability to vendor management to accounts receivable workflows, your fractional COO ensures every moving part supports profitability. The result? More predictable operations, faster payments, and fewer sleepless nights.
A Fractional PM clarity, coordination, and accountability across your projects. A Project Manager (PM) steps in to organize timelines, streamline workflows, and ensure your team is aligned on deliverables. They bridge the gap between strategy and execution—so nothing gets lost, delayed, or dropped. Whether you’re launching a new product, managing client work, or scaling internal systems, a fractional PM ensures your business moves forward—on time and on budget.
You don’t need to do it all. You need the right people doing the right things.

Challenge #1: Cash Flow Uncertainty
The Problem:
Cash flow isn’t just about profit—it’s about timing. Even profitable companies can run into trouble when revenue doesn’t align with expenses.
48% of U.S. small businesses experienced cash flow issues in the last year, with many owners delaying their own pay to keep the business afloat.

Example:
Melissa runs a boutique event planning firm. Her biggest contracts don’t pay until 60 days post-event—but her vendors, staff, and office rent demand payment now. A single late client derailed her ability to make payroll.
The Solution:
-
We introduce a rolling 13-week cash forecast using a simple Google Sheet.
-
Shifted to milestone-based invoicing (50/50 structure).
-
Negotiated longer terms with key vendors.
Today, Melissa knows her cash position three months out—and has contingency levers in place when client delays hit.
Challenge #2: Accounts Receivable Problems
The Problem:
You’ve done the work. Sent the invoice. Now what? Late payments choke your cash flow and force you into constant chasing.
55% of B2B invoices are overdue, and nearly half of SMBs report lacking payment transparency from clients.

Example:
Andre, owner of a growing commercial HVAC business, had over $120K in outstanding receivables—some over 90 days late. His office manager was manually tracking payments in spreadsheets with no reminder system in place.
The Solution:
-
Implement automated invoice reminders through QuickBooks and Stripe.
-
Introduce clear payment terms on all contracts (NET 15 + late fees).
-
Designate an internal “AR champion” to monitor weekly collections.
Within 60 days, his average days-to-payment dropped from 58 to 31—and he has the confidence to take on larger contracts.
Challenge #3: Inconsistent Lead Generation
The Problem:
Feast or famine cycles are the #1 growth killer for service-based businesses. Marketing happens when there’s time—not when it’s needed most.
50% of marketers say lead generation is their top priority, and 37.1% report their biggest challenge is attracting quality leads.

Example:
Tracy owns a small accounting firm. She relied almost entirely on referrals. Great when it worked—disastrous when it didn’t. One dry quarter nearly forced her to lay off staff.
The Solution:
-
Create a simple lead magnet tied to tax season (downloadable checklist + email capture).
-
Used targeted Google Ads and LinkedIn outreach to drive steady traffic.
-
Implemented a weekly follow-up cadence for all cold leads in her pipeline.
Result? Within 90 days, her pipeline is booked out 6 weeks in advance—and her stress drops with every new qualified lead.
