For solo founders & business owners

A fractional operations manager for solopreneurs who've outgrown doing it all themselves.

Part-time operations leadership for solo founders — the strategy, systems, and SOPs of an ops manager, at a fraction of the cost and without adding headcount you don't want. Whether you're building a new business from scratch or keeping an established practice running solo.

01 — Where solopreneurs usually are

Running a business by yourself shouldn't mean running yourself ragged.

If you're starting out: there's no operational layer yet, because nothing's had time to exist. You're picking tools on the fly — and half of them you'll outgrow or regret in six months. The contract template lives somewhere on your laptop, the proposal gets rebuilt from scratch every single time, and onboarding one client takes three emails, two Calendly links, and a Google Doc you can never find again. No SOPs, no system, no handoffs — just you, building the plane while flying it, watching it shed parts.

If you're established and staying solo: the business works — that's the good news. The bad news is that every process, decision, and follow-up still routes through you. There are no SOPs because, so far, nobody else has needed them. Clients love working with you, so you get more clients, so you have less time for the work you actually love. Your weekends quietly absorb the overflow. And the only paths forward seem to be burning out or hiring a team you never wanted.

Either way, the problem isn't that you're not working hard enough — you clearly are. It's that the operational layer behind the work never caught up to the work itself. And the usual fixes don't fit a solo business: doing it all yourself just deepens the bottleneck, and a full-time operations hire is more salary, management, and capacity than you need. Fractional operations is the missing middle. You get a senior operator who builds the systems and SOPs, owns the backend week to week, and runs the business as a business — for the handful of hours a week a solo company actually needs, not a full-time seat you have to keep busy. That's the gap I close.

02 — How I help

Built for solo founders. Sized for what you actually need.

For new businesses

A Sprint that stands up your operational foundation in two to six weeks — selecting the right tools for what you're actually building, configuring your CRM, mapping your intake and onboarding workflows, building contract and proposal templates, and documenting the SOPs you'll need before you're swamped.

You leave with a business that runs on systems, not heroics — an operational backbone in place from day one.

For established solopreneurs

Ongoing fractional operations that keep the business running well without scaling you into a team. I own the backend week to week — inbox and calendar systems, client operations, billing and follow-up, light marketing ops — and tighten the SOPs and automations underneath so the load comes off your shoulders instead of onto new headcount.

The goal isn't to grow by adding people. It's to grow by adding systems — and keep your life intact while it does.

04 — Common questions

From solo founders, answered.

  • A virtual assistant executes the tasks you hand over. A fractional operations manager owns the operational layer itself — deciding what should happen, building the systems that make it happen, and running them — for the part-time hours a solo business actually needs. Same senior thinking as a full-time ops hire, without the full-time salary.

  • A Sprint engagement. We spend two to six weeks setting up the operational foundation — picking your tools, building your intake, drafting your contracts and templates, structuring your CRM, and writing the SOPs you'll lean on as you grow. You leave with a business that runs on systems, not improvisation.

  • No. Staying solo is a legitimate — often smarter — decision than building a team. My job isn't to nudge you toward hiring; it's to make sure staying solo never tips into burning out. We build the systems that protect your time, your energy, and your weekends.

  • Yes — this is one of my most-booked Sprint engagements. We audit what you have, choose what to keep and what to retire, migrate your data into proper tools, and document the new systems so they actually stick.

  • Most solo founders start with a discovery call, then either a Sprint (if you're setting up or restructuring) or the Starter tier (if your business is running but you need consistent weekly support). Many move from a Sprint into ongoing support after the foundation is in place.

  • Most land somewhere between 5 and 20 hours a week. New or restructuring businesses tend to open with a focused Sprint, then settle into ongoing support. We'll size it together on the discovery call, based on what's actually breaking.

  • For most solopreneurs, a full-time ops hire is more cost, more management, and more capacity than the business needs — and keeping someone fully busy becomes a job of its own. A fractional engagement gives you the same caliber of leadership, scaled to your actual workload.

  • Directly — always. Every engagement is run by one operator who learns your business as well as you do. No junior staff, no handoffs, no re-explaining your operation every month.
