Fractional COO for founder-led businesses that have outgrown the way they operate.
You've done the hard part. I help you build what comes next.
Who This
Is For
You have substantial revenue. The business is real, the clients are there, and you're working hard. But margins are thinner than they should be, cash flow is unpredictable, and every decision still runs through you.You know something needs to give. You just don't have the bandwidth, the tools, or the roadmap to figure out what. That's not a failure. That's what growth actually looks like.
How I Help
The Work
I work at the intersection of financials, operations, and leadership. I don't just identify what's broken, I build the systems, pricing, and processes that fix it. The goal is simple: get margin back, get your time back, and build a business that runs with you at the helm, not through you by default.
The Relationship
Most founders make their biggest decisions alone. No one in the building who knows the full picture, challenges the thinking, or has skin in the game. That changes when you have a real operator in your corner. Not a vendor you check in with monthly. A partner who knows your business, tells you the truth, and is invested in what you're building.
The Model
Fractional means you get a senior operator in your corner without the cost or commitment of a full-time executive hire. It's a defined engagement with clear objectives, and I'm here to execute, not advise from the sidelines.
Ways We Can Work Together
The Diagnostic
A good starting point if you're not sure what's wrong, just that something is.I look at your financials and how your business actually runs day to day. I find where money is leaking, where your time is going, and what's getting in the way of growth. Then I tell you exactly what I found and what to do about it, in plain language.
Right for you if:
You're making sales but something feels off and you can't put your finger on it
You've never had anyone look at the full picture of your business honestly
You want clarity before you make your next big move
You’ll leave with:
A jargon-free breakdown of where your money is actually going
A clear answer on why margins are thin and what's driving it
A prioritized action plan, the three to five things that will move the needle most, in the order to tackle them
Fractional COO
Ongoing support for founders who are ready to stop figuring it out alone.I work with you part-time, inside your business. As an operator who helps you build the things that make the business run better, without you having to be in the middle of everything.
Right for you if:
You know things need to change but don't have the time or bandwidth to drive it
You're ready for a real partner, not another outside opinion
You want someone embedded in the business who is accountable to outcomes
After a successful engagement:
You know your numbers and what they mean
Your systems support the business today and can scale with it tomorrow
You're back in a leadership seat, driving the vision instead of managing the noise
My Point
of View
You don't need to work harder or try another approach that doesn't fit how your business actually runs. You need someone who will look at what's really happening, tell you the truth about it, and help you figure out what to do next. Just honest work with someone who's been inside businesses like yours, knows what to look for, and how to fix it.
Background
I spent 15 years as the COO and CFO inside a founder-led business, present through every stage of its growth. I wasn't advising from the outside. I was inside it every day, making it work, so the founder could actually lead. That's what I bring to the businesses I work with now.
"Sometimes, as tiny business owners, making a decision can feel a bit lonely and overwhelming. That is especially true, when you have a couple of flops under your belt. It’s hard to see the picture clearly, and honestly, trust your gut. Working with Jesseca took that pressure away as we just looked at clear, clean numbers, and the evaluation was actually FUN! I left after tossing and turning for a couple of weeks trying to decide what to do, with a clear plan and an easy decision. Jess is the, outside of the company, voice I needed to settle my soul, and help me see the path clearly. And damn, now this project is gonna make me some money!!"
