Build a Business that Runs Without You.

The Founder Trap is Real

You built this firm on your back. You sold the work, you did the work, and you fixed the problems. But what got you to $5M is now stopping you from getting to $20M.

• You are the Chief Everything Officer. Every decision, from hiring to payroll, routes through your inbox.

• Your team waits for you. Projects stall because you haven't had time to review them.

• You can't sell. You know you need to focus on strategy and business development, but you're too busy fighting fires in operations.

• Your business has no transfer value. If you aren't in the room, the business stops. That means you own a job, not an asset.

We don't just "advise" you on this. We fix it.

We Don't Just Consult. We Embed.

Most fractional COOs sit on the sidelines and give advice. We are Embedded Leadership Partners. We join your leadership team, own the operations, and execute the "Freeing the Founder" Framework.

Listening Tour

We don't guess. We spend 6 to 10 weeks interviewing your team, auditing your financials, and finding the friction. You get a raw, unfiltered roadmap of exactly what is holding your business back.

Empower

We build the team that owns the result. We evolve from daily Operator to Strategic Governor, staying engaged to mentor your leaders and ensure your firm is a transferrable asset powered by an empowered team.

Run

We don’t just hand you a playbook and wish you luck. We take the seat. We run the meetings. We hold the team accountable. You step out of the weeds and back into the Visionary seat. This is not an overnight fix, and that's why we do this together.

Build

We design the Org Chart of the future. We install the operating rhythm (1on1s, team meetings, leadership meetings, strategic offsites) and the KPIs that matter for a professional services firm: utilization, delivery margin, CSAT, etc.

What our Clients are Saying

★★★★★

What I didn’t expect and was so happy for was his knowledge. He’s done this before, as a #2. But what has made the most impact is that for the first time since I’ve started this founder journey, I feel like I have a real partner in this. I’m a solo founder: no partners, no investors. I’ve tried partners before, and it never worked. Randell’s demeanor, positive attitude and can-do spirit has really energized me. He’s been the yin to my yang.

Rob Ripp

★★★★★

What stood out most was Brian’s ability to truly understand my vision as CEO and ensure that every piece of the business was aligned with it. He has a gift for translating big-picture strategy into actionable systems and accountability, freeing me up to focus where I add the most value. If you're a visionary CEO looking to scale without drowning in the day-to-day, Brian is the partner you want by your side.
