Executive judgement at the size you actually are.
Front Range businesses are often built by one person and a good team: contractors, distributors, craft producers, practices and professional firms. The next stage needs seniority that the payroll cannot yet justify.
Why a permanent executive team is not the answer yet
A full-time CFO or COO feels like the grown-up move. For most companies this size it is early:
The package is out of proportion
Base, bonus, equity and a search fee, committed to a role whose shape you are still discovering.
The problem changes before the hire lands
A permanent hire at this level can take months, and the issue in front of you will have changed shape by then.
A wrong fit is slow to undo
A senior hire who does not suit the business is costly to unwind, and the team sees all of it.
You need a few days, not a full week
The real requirement is part-time seniority. Buying it full-time is an expensive way to solve a smaller problem.
A fractional executive is a proven operator who joins your company part-time, on defined terms. They join the team, own the decisions in their domain and answer for the outcome. For a company of your size, it is often the only practical way to reach someone of that calibre.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Best for
- Founders carrying a C-suite function themselves with no time left to lead
- Businesses that need senior capability two or three days a week, not five
- A specific gap in finance, operations, marketing, technology or people that is holding growth back
- Teams that cannot yet justify, or afford, a full-time executive salary
- Owners who want an operator accountable for outcomes, not a consultant with a deck
Not for
- A junior or purely execution role a full-time manager should own
- A one-off project an agency could deliver and hand back
- Businesses wanting a figurehead rather than someone who does the work
- A pre-revenue idea with no function yet to lead
