Andy JacksonAndy Jackson
Fractional COO for professional services firms

Turn the plan
into a business that runs.

When delivery, sales, people and cash all compete for the founder’s attention, another strategy deck will not help. You need senior operating leadership in the engine room every week.

The constraint

The business has outgrown informal coordination.

  • Priorities change faster than the team can execute them
  • Meetings produce updates rather than decisions
  • Roles overlap and important work falls between people
  • The founder becomes the escalation route for everything
The work

A fractional COO installs the operating system while the business keeps moving.

  • Turn strategy into weekly priorities, owners and measures
  • Clarify decision rights and escalation routes
  • Improve delivery, cash, capacity and management information
  • Build management capability so the answer is not permanent dependency

Why Andy

An operator who understands professional services

Andy has built and operated businesses across accountancy, law, technology and investment. That matters when the problem sits across client delivery, commercial decisions, regulated work and a founder who is still too central to the machine.

Straight answers

Common questions

Is this consultancy?

No. The role sits inside the operating rhythm, makes decisions with the team and helps build the systems rather than only recommending them.

When is a fractional COO the right fit?

When the direction is broadly clear but execution, coordination or management capacity is preventing the business from delivering it.

Is this meant to be permanent?

Usually not. The aim is to make the business and its leaders more capable, then reduce dependence on external operating support.
