Fractional Executive Services

The right executive. Only where you actually need one.

Fractional COO, CMO, CHRO, CFO, and specialist support — placed after we've assessed your business, so you're never paying for a role you don't need or a hire that won't fix the real problem.

Why we assess before we place

You need to know what's leaking before you hire anyone.

Most founders bring in help based on how things feel — and end up paying for a marketing hire when the real problem is operations, or a COO when the real gap is cash visibility. The assessment finds the actual constraint first. Then we recommend only the fractional support that closes it.

No wasted money. No wrong hires. No guessing.

01
Assess the business
One document: what to change, how, and who should own it
02
See if your team can hold it
Often they can — with the right structure and support
03
Place fractional support where they can't
Vetted senior partners, matched to the exact gap
The Fractional Bench

Who we can place — and when it makes sense.

Every role below is senior, vetted, and part-time. You get the expertise without the salary, the equity, or the six-month ramp. We only recommend one when the assessment shows your current team can't hold the work.

Operations

Fractional COO

Holds the systems, the team rhythm, and the execution — so decisions get made and things actually get done without you in the middle.

You need one when
  • Everything still routes through you
  • Your team nods in meetings and nothing moves
  • You've outgrown your processes and it shows
Marketing

Fractional CMO

Owns positioning, the marketing plan, and the numbers behind it — so every dollar you spend has a reason and a result.

You need one when
  • You're spending but can't say what's working
  • Leads are inconsistent or the wrong fit
  • Opportunities are sitting there uncaptured
Finance

Fractional CFO

Brings cash visibility, forecasting, and margin discipline — so you know what you can afford before you commit to it.

You need one when
  • Revenue is up but you don't feel it
  • You look at your numbers once a quarter, if that
  • Pricing and margin are a guess
People

Fractional CHRO

Builds the hiring, role clarity, and accountability structure — so the right people own the right things.

You need one when
  • You've made an expensive wrong hire
  • No one is sure who owns what
  • Good people are leaving or coasting
Support

Virtual Assistants

Vetted, managed, and aligned to your workflows — taking the recurring and administrative work off your leadership team's plate.

You need one when
  • Senior people are doing $20/hour work
  • Follow-up, scheduling, and inbox are falling through
  • You need capacity before you need a hire
Digital

Website Specialists

Design, development, and conversion — so your site does the selling it's supposed to do.

You need one when
  • Your site doesn't match the business you've become
  • Traffic comes in and nothing happens
  • The assessment flagged it as a leak

Every partner is vetted by us and matched to what your assessment actually calls for — not to what's easiest to sell.

How Placement Works

From the finding to the right person in the seat.

Step 01
The assessment names the gap
Your document says exactly what's leaking and which seat needs to own the fix.
Step 02
We check your bench first
If someone on your team can hold it, we say so. You don't pay for what you don't need.
Step 03
We match a fractional partner
Senior, vetted, and briefed on your findings — so they start on day one, not month three.
Step 04
They own it. You lead.
Clear scope, clear accountability. The work moves without landing back on you.
After the Assessment

Your team can hold it — or we bring someone who can.

The document tells you which. Both paths are built so the work stops depending on you.

If your team can hold it

Mentorship & Leadership Development

Your people are capable — they need the structure and the support to step up. We give your leaders the frameworks to own their piece without escalating everything to you.

  • Decision-making frameworks so your team can act without you
  • Delegation structure — who owns what, and why
  • Accountability systems: scorecards, check-ins, follow-through
  • Leading from above, not from the weeds

If they can't

Fractional Placement

The gap is real and no one on your team can close it. We place a vetted fractional executive or specialist — scoped to the finding, briefed on your business, and accountable for the result.

  • COO · CMO · CFO · CHRO · Virtual Assistants · Website Specialists
  • Part-time and senior — no salary, no equity, no long ramp
  • Matched to your assessment, not to a sales quota
  • Scoped and accountable from day one
