Let’s help you work smarter, not just harder.
How I Can Help
AI Integration & Training
What is it? Learn how to use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) to transform how you work. Not just automating tasks, but using AI for research, strategic planning, problem-solving, and better decision-making.

Business Reporting & Dashboards
What is it? Set up simple, practical reporting so you actually know what’s happening in your business. Monthly, quarterly, and annual reports that help you make decisions, not just satisfy accountants.
Who is this for?
- Businesses flying blind without real visibility

- Monthly dashboard – revenue, expenses, key metrics at a glance
- Quarterly review – trends, comparisons, what’s changing
- Annual planning – year-over-year performance and goal setting
- Custom reports designed for your business (not generic accounting reports)
- Training on how to read and use the information
- Optional: Ongoing monthly report generation
The result: You know what’s working and what’s not. You make decisions based on real data. You can see problems before they become crises. You understand what’s actually profitable.
Ongoing Fractional COO Support
What is it? Think of me as your part-time COO. Consistent operational leadership without hiring someone full-time. I work with you 10-30 hours per month on strategy, implementation, problem-solving, and building your business.
Who is this for?
- Growing businesses that need COO-level expertise
- Companies with too much for the owner to handle alone
- Businesses that can’t justify (or afford) a full-time COO
- Leaders who want a strategic partner, not just a consultant
What you get:
- Regular strategic sessions and planning
- Ongoing operational support and problem-solving
- Implementation help – not just recommendations
- Access to me for questions and guidance
- Monthly reporting and progress tracking
- Flexibility to adjust based on what you need
How it works: We agree on a monthly retainer based on your needs and my availability. I become part of your team – attending key meetings, working on priorities, helping you build and execute. Think of it as having a COO without the full-time commitment or cost.
The result: You have consistent operational leadership. Someone who knows your business, helps you solve problems, and keeps things moving forward. You’re not alone in running operations anymore.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m not technical – can I really use AI? Absolutely. If you can type a question, you can use these tools. I focus on practical usage for business owners, not technical implementation.
How much time does AI really save? It varies, but most businesses I work with save 5-10 hours per week once they’re set up. Some save much more, especially on content creation and customer service.
Do I need fancy data systems for reporting? Usually no. Most small businesses already have the data they need – it’s just scattered. We pull it together into something useful. If you have QuickBooks and basic sales records, we can work with that.
How does fractional COO support work logistically? However works best for you. Some clients want weekly meetings and async work. Others prefer a few days per month on-site. We figure out what fits your business and my availability.
Is fractional support cheaper than hiring a full-time COO? Much cheaper. A full-time COO salary in Vermont is typically $100K-150K+ plus benefits. Fractional support runs $2K-6K per month depending on time commitment – and you get flexibility.
