Diagnose
We start inside your actual operations: the budget, the org chart, the board deck, the compliance calendar. Not a survey. The real thing.
Fractional C.O.O. Services
Operational leadership,
Operational leadership,
without the
full-time hire.
Most growing organizations need a chief operating officer years before they can afford one. A fractional C.O.O. closes that gap: senior operations leadership, on a part-time schedule, building the systems your team runs on long after the engagement ends.

Ways to Engage
How it works
We build systems
your team keeps.
A fractional C.O.O. who makes themselves permanent has failed. Every engagement is built to leave you with systems, rhythms, and people who can run them without us.
Prioritize
You get a short, honest list of what's costing you the most, ordered by impact. We fix in that order, not in the order that's most comfortable.
Operate alongside you
We sit in the leadership seat part-time: running meetings that end in decisions, holding deadlines, and modeling how an operations function should feel.
Hand off
Every system gets documented and every rhythm gets an internal owner, so the structure outlasts the engagement.
What we take off your plate
The operations work
that eats your week.
If you're the executive director and also the operations department, this is the work we take: the same domains we ran as directors of operations at organizations with 100+ staff.
Systems & Daily Operations
Workflows, tools, and written procedures for the work your team redoes from scratch every time, so the organization runs the same on your best and worst weeks.
Staffing & Accountability
Org structure, role clarity, hiring support, and a management rhythm where expectations are written down and check-ins actually happen.
Financial Rhythm
Budget development, monthly financial reviews, and reporting your board and funders can read without a translator.
Board & Funder Reporting
Board decks, dashboards, and county and funder reports built from experience reporting to boards and government partners, not from templates.
Compliance & Risk
HR policies, insurance, contract compliance, and the deadline calendar that keeps renewals and filings from becoming emergencies.
Grant & Program Operations
The operational side of funded programs: tracking deliverables, documenting outcomes, and keeping spending aligned with what the grant promised.
Who this is for
Too big to wing it,
too small for a full-time C.O.O.
Our fractional clients are nonprofits and purpose-driven businesses, mostly in Los Angeles and Southern California, at the stage where growth has outrun structure: new grants, new staff, new board expectations, and a leader doing operations at night.
If a full-time C.O.O. salary isn't realistic and winging it has stopped working, a fractional engagement is the bridge. And if what you need is coaching rather than an operator, we'll tell you, and point you to our capacity coaching instead.
Three ways to engage
Annual Support: a 12-month fractional C.O.O. program, limited to 5 organizations per year so each one gets real attention.
Quarterly Support: a 3-month intensive focused on your highest-impact operational gaps.
One-Time Fix: a single deep consultation that ends with 5 concrete action items you can execute yourself.
Add-on grant writing: many fractional clients add grant writing once operations can support new funding.
