Professional Services

Without the Full-Time Commitment

Running a business is a constant balancing act.

As companies grow, managing daily operations while keeping everything running smoothly becomes increasingly challenging.

There are always great ideas for growth, but the time, energy, and consistency required to implement them often feel out of reach—leading to organizational chaos.

The demands of the business seem never-ending, stretching resources thin.

Strategies that once worked may no longer keep up with the complexity of a growing business.

What started as a way to gain control over time, money, and freedom can unexpectedly lead to less control, with little room to take on anything more.

This is the point where evaluating the current operations and planning for the next stage becomes essential.

Imagine..

How much your business would grow if you weren’t the bottleneck and holding up projects and day to day decisions.

How much your revenue would increase if your operations ran with less of your involvement so you could focus on other areas for growth.

How much stronger your team would be with clear processes, accountability, and alignment to drive results and tackle challenges proactively.

That’s where our Fractional COO Services come in.

We offer the operational leadership you need, without the commitment of a full-time hire, so you can focus on what you do best ➡ growing your business and celebrating your successes.

TESTIMONIALS

What our clients say

“Denise joined me when I had a one million dollar company and helped me to grow it to a two million dollar company. She is great at setting goals, creating strategic plans and timelines, identifying the team resources that are needed, and then executing the plan. She helped me to plan and then managed the team and milestones, freeing me up to focus on my zone of genius which is marketing, program development, and coaching."

Ryan Eliason

Entrepreneur & Founder, Social Entrepreneur Empowerment Network

“One of the best decisions I made in my business was to hire Denise! I was overwhelmed, overloaded, and unable to handle everything that needed to get done. Denise literally came to the rescue, simplified and streamlined everything, and freed up my time tremendously so I could focus on the things only I could do.”

Christine Kloser

Author & CEO, Get Your Book Done LLC

“Andrea is a thoughtful, strategic, and savvy leader. Most impressive is her ability to take on challenges and develop a game plan and execute the plan with success. Many can create a “plan,” Andrea can create a plan and execute like a seasoned leader.”
