Small business operations consultant. Technology and systems support without the big-business price tag.
As a small business consultant, I bring the same operational thinking I use with larger businesses, adapted for smaller ones. Remote delivery. Fixed prices. No jargon. No vendor agenda.
A small business operations consultant covers what a full-time operations director would: technology decisions, vendor oversight, and process improvement, on a flexible, affordable basis built for owner-led businesses.

Start with a Clarity Check
A fixed-price remote diagnostic, delivered by me as your small business consultant, not a junior team.
Clarity Check
The starting point. A remote operational review: honest, specific, actionable.
- 3-hour structured remote session
- Written findings summary, plain English
- Three priority actions identified
- The systems you use and AI readiness assessed
- Delivered within 5 working days
Beyond the Clarity Check, it's the same services and the same from-prices as everywhere else on this site. See full pricing for details.
