Owners & small teams

You started this to do the work. Not everything around it.

Somewhere along the way the business started running you. Invoices, scheduling, follow-ups, chasing information across five tools. None of it is hard on its own, but together it's your whole week. I find those small, repeating time sinks and solve them for good.

Working in the business
  • The same small tasks every day, by hand.
  • Copying information between tools that don't talk.
  • Evenings on admin instead of the work, or your life.
Working on the business
  • The repeat work handled by systems, not by you.
  • Your tools connected, so information moves on its own.
  • Time back for the work you're actually good at.

What that looks like

A few of the usual suspects. Every business has its own list.

Inquiries

New leads land in one place and get a reply, even on the days you're heads down.

Billing

Quotes, invoices, and reminders that go out without you assembling them by hand.

Scheduling and handoffs

Booking, onboarding, and handoffs that don't take a dozen emails.

Knowing your numbers

A simple weekly view of how the business is doing, without pulling it together yourself.

Why me

Business sense and technical depth

Plenty of people can automate a task. The hard part is knowing which tasks are worth it and building them so they hold up. I've spent my career on both sides: running teams and setting direction, and designing and building the systems underneath.

Law firm · ongoing

Building intake software for a small law firm, inside the tools they already use. It works directly in their Outlook and their files, so there's no new app to adopt and nothing pulling them out of how they like to work. The tech fits their workflow, not the other way around.

Nonprofit · ongoing

Technical architect for a national workforce-training nonprofit. Moving them off a legacy system into Salesforce, which saves multiple six figures a year in licensing, many times over the one-time build. Along the way, getting far more out of the platform and finding new parts of the business it can take on.
