Fractional COO

Part-time operator.
Full-time outcomes.

Senior operating leadership on a simple monthly retainer — so your business runs calmer behind the scenes and performs better at the front. Without the cost of a full-time hire.

Andy Jackson working with a leadership team

One operator, in your engine room.

I'm not a deal desk and I'm not a bystander. One experienced operator, in your business every week — building the rhythm, the numbers and the habits that let it run without you.

The aim isn't to make you dependent on me. It's a business that runs itself, with the systems and discipline owned and embedded by your team.

The pattern

  • Lots of meetings, not much movement
  • Margins drifting, cash slow, projects slipping
  • A busy team stuck in constant firefighting
  • Upset customers
  • Stress, hassle, heartache

What changes

  • A weekly routine that sticks
  • Clear numbers and clear owners
  • Delivery that's right first time
  • Pricing and profit discipline
  • Happier team and clients, fewer escalations
  • Simple tools you'll actually use

What this is not

The plan

Your first 90 days

Week 0 — Set-up

Quick calls, scope goals, gather paperwork, data checklist & access, meet the team, timetabling.

Month 1 — Find & Fix

Short interviews, pull the numbers, map the work. Ship the basics: weekly routine, KPI pack, stop/keep/start, pricing & cash rules.

Month 2 — Implement

Plan goes live. SOPs in use for the top 5 jobs. Margin & pricing tweaks. Cash tidied. First client-experience wins.

Month 3 — Scale

Hiring/upsizing plan, monthly board summary, a 2–3 quarter roadmap, and handover so the team runs the systems.

Common questions

How is this different from hiring a full-time COO?

A full-time COO is a senior salary, on-costs, recruitment risk and a long notice period — a big commitment before you know it works. This gives you the same operational thinking on a flexible monthly retainer, starting now, with a 3-month minimum and no long-term lock-in.

Isn't this just consultancy?

No. Consultancy tends to produce a report and leave. I show up every week, work on what's actually stuck, and leave systems, SOPs and habits embedded and owned by your team — so the business runs itself, not depends on me.

What size of business is it for?

Founder-led firms and SMEs that have outgrown informal ways of working — well past running everything from your inbox, but not yet ready for a full-time COO.
