Illuminating your vision, igniting your impact.
Great at what you do.
Ready to build a business that matches.
We're a strategy & operations studio for micro and small businesses — and we're on a mission to help founders and business owners who are great at their craft get equally good at running the business behind it.
The goal is simple: get you unstuck, give you some time back, and work through the less glamorous — though entirely rewarding — side of building something sustainable. We take a hands-on approach to every engagement, and we never leave you with a pile of reports to figure out on your own.
Core Services
Every engagement begins with a discovery phase — no recommendations without understanding first.
0-1
For founders and business owners who have an idea worth pursuing and need a partner to help them get it off the ground.
IDEA / PROJECT IGNITION
Partnering as a seamless extension of your team, we are the unbiased external resource that works side-by-side with you to develop concepts or jumpstart new initiatives from 0 to 1. This includes being a critical sounding board, working with you to develop, execute, implement and/or refine your strategy, as well as digging into research or speaking to your target market to validate your ideas.
RIFF / SPITBALL SESSION(S)
Looking to solidify a concept or idea? These sessions are designed to help you brainstorm and refine your thoughts. In this collaborative, high-energy environment, we act as your creative partner, providing fresh perspectives and valuable insights to shape your ideas. Whether you're stuck on a specific challenge or looking to explore new possibilities, we help you clarify your vision and lay the groundwork for your project's success. This service is perfect for getting those initial sparks flying and setting a strong foundation for your next steps.
Optimization
For business owners who need to sharpen what already exists — their identity, their processes, or their people.
BRAND CLARIFICATION
At its core, your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room. We help bring clarity to what that is and align your explicit and implicit messaging, as well as the experiences you create for your target clients / customers. Through workshops, interviews, observations, and document review, we dive into your identity, values, vision, mission, and goals to reveal who you are and the actionable steps to get to where you want to be.
PERFORMANCE ELEVATION
We review your current processes, habits, behaviors, and work flows to identify areas for improvement. Our solutions and recommendations are aimed at enhancing your overall effectiveness, and ensure that you get some time back to do other (more creative / more fun / more important) things.
TEAM EFFECTIVENESS
For business owners and their teams whose biggest operational challenge isn't systems or strategy — it's people. We work with you and your team to surface how you're currently working, where the friction is, and what needs to shift. This includes team working agreements, communication coaching, role clarity and skill gap analysis, and facilitated sessions to align on ways of working. The goal is a team that functions as well as the business around it.
Ongoing Engagements
Some of the best working relationships don't fit neatly into a project. For founders and business owners who want a trusted strategic partner over the long term — without the overhead of a full-time hire — we offer a few ways to stay connected and keep moving.
FRACTIONAL STRATEGY & OPERATIONS
For business owners who need a trusted partner in their corner on an ongoing basis — without the overhead of a full-time hire. We embed as a fractional S&O partner, helping you think through direction, navigate decisions, and keep the operational side of your business running smoothly as you scale.
This is ideal for businesses at an inflection point: past the early chaos, growing faster than your current systems can support, and ready for someone who can hold the strategic thread while you focus on the work you do best.
Structured as a monthly retainer, with scope and hours tailored to your needs.
STRATEGIC ACCESS
An ongoing advisory option for established clients who value continuity and a trusted outside perspective as their business evolves. Rather than scoping a new project every time a challenge comes up, Strategic Access gives you a set number of advisory hours per year — flexible enough to use however you need them.
Ideal for pressure-testing ideas, navigating decisions, or regaining clarity between bigger initiatives.
Think of it as having a trusted guide in your corner — someone who knows your business, can help you navigate challenges, and offers honest perspective when you need it most.
From $2,400/year. Most clients find the best fit at $3,000 annually.
Entry Points
Not sure where to start? These are designed for exactly that.
STRATEGY TUNE-UPS
A lightweight way to stay connected to strategic thinking throughout the year. One 30-minute call per quarter — agenda set by you, focused on whatever is most pressing. High-level direction and perspective, nothing more, nothing less.
Built for business owners who want occasional clarity without the commitment of a larger engagement. Intentionally capped to stay focused and high-quality.
$399/year.
WORKBOOKS
Self-guided strategic tools for business owners who are ready to do some of the thinking themselves — with a little structure to help. Work through them at your own pace, and when you're done, you get a free consultation to talk through what you found and what to do next.
A low-risk, high-value starting point.
