Scale Operations.
Not Headcount.
Every business scaling past $20M hits a moment where growth starts feeling heavier than it should. Not a leadership problem. A growth problem. I design the operational architecture your next stage requires.
The Problem
Growth Creates Complexity.
Complexity Creates Revenue Drag.
Most businesses past $20M are losing margin they can't see or measure — not from lack of sales, but from operational friction that compounds as you scale.
Reporting Takes Weeks
Month-end close drags into the third week. Decisions wait on numbers that should be available in real time.
Systems That Don't Talk
CRM, ops, finance, and billing run independently. Your team bridges the gaps manually — every day, every month.
Hiring to Absorb Friction
Every growth milestone triggers a new hire. Not because you need more people — because the system creates more work than it should.
Margin Compressing
Revenue grows but margins don't follow. The gap lives in operational overhead that compounds with every new client.
The systems that got you to $20M were never designed to carry you to $60M.
This is not a failure of leadership. It is the natural consequence of growth outpacing architecture. And it is fixable.
The Solution
Operational Architecture.
Built for Your Next Stage.
Not more tools. Not automation for its own sake. A complete redesign of how your business runs — so it scales without adding weight.
What Changes When Architecture Is Right
When your systems are designed as one integrated whole — not a collection of disconnected tools — everything downstream gets easier. Leadership gets time back. Decisions get faster. Margin becomes visible.

IT Staffing & Recruiting
$28M
Scaled from $15M without adding back-office headcount
Was hiring a new ops person for every $3M in revenue. 6 disconnected systems. 14 hours/week in manual reconciliation. After the Sprint — integrated architecture, automated data flows, back-office headcount frozen through $28M.

I've spent 20+ years in software architecture and systems design. I've seen what happens when businesses scale revenue without scaling systems maturity — and what becomes possible when they do.
I work with COOs, CFOs, and founders at $20M–$60M B2B service businesses who are ready to stop hiring around broken processes and start designing operations that scale without adding weight.
Vendor-agnostic. Architecture-first. Business outcomes always. I don't sell software. I don't have preferred vendors. I design the structure your business needs — then tools follow.
