FRACTIONAL COO

Your right hand partner,
Without the full time price tag.

I embed into your business as a part-time COO — setting strategic direction, aligning your team, and driving execution. You get executive-level operations expertise at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

THE PROBLEM

You’ve outgrown what one person can hold.

You're making every decision, managing every problem, and holding every system in your head. Growth is happening — but it's starting to feel more like a liability than a win. A full-time COO costs $180k+ per year. You need the expertise without that overhead.

Fractional COO is probably the best option for you if:

  • You can’t step away without things falling apart - growth feels risky.

  • Your team is capable, but lacks clear direction and accountability.

  • You have a growth target, but no operational plan to reach it.

  • You’re drowning in the day-to-day and losing sight of the big picture.

  • You’re unsure what needs to change first - everything feels like a priority.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A consultant advises. I embed. I work alongside you and your team, take ownership of outcomes, and stay through execution - not just the report.

    Think of me more like a part-time employee, but without the commitment and costs of an employee.

  • Retainers start at ~16 hours/month (or 2 days) and scale based on what you need. We agree on the scope upfront and adjust as the engagement evolves.

  • Typically businesses with 5–50 people, operating between $1M–$20M revenue, past the startup phase but not yet at the scale where a full-time COO or Head of Operations makes sense.

  • Most engagements run 6–12 months. Some clients continue beyond that. There's no lock-in beyond your initial commitment period.

  • Yes - I work with businesses across Australia. Most engagement work is remote with regular video calls, plus in-person sessions as needed.

    I have some international clients, but we find that the best outcomes are in either the Strategic Advisory or Project-Based model.

  • Fractional engagements are limited based on capacity. This is to ensure the best outcomes for our clients. Start with a Discovery Call (free, no obligation), and we can discuss what the best approach is for you.
