Jump Start.

Jump Start. Sometimes founders don’t need a fractional executive yet — they need clarity, structure, and momentum now.

The Jump Start Workshop is a focused, hands-on engagement designed to help founders establish (or reset) the core operating foundations of their business — quickly, correctly, and without unnecessary complexity.

This is not a webinar or a generic startup checklist. It’s real operator support, tailored to your business, delivered in a short, intensive format. #letsgetstarted

Jump Start: Operating Foundations Workshop

What the Jump Start Covers

The workshop is customized based on stage, but typically includes:

Business Identity & Structure

  • Clarifying the purpose, values, and operating principles of the business

  • Entity setup and compliance considerations

  • Naming, positioning, and foundational brand decisions

Core Systems Setup

  • Banking, accounting, and financial tracking

  • Payroll, contractor management, and compliance

  • File organization, access controls, and security basics

  • Email, calendar, and internal communication structure

Financial & Operational Basics

  • Chart of accounts and bookkeeping setup

  • Invoicing, expense tracking, and cash visibility

  • CPA and tax readiness

  • Payroll, insurance, and benefits foundations

People & Hiring Readiness

  • Employee vs contractor frameworks

  • Required documentation and agreements

  • Handbook and policy foundations

  • Early hiring and onboarding considerations

Tools & Execution

  • Project management setup

  • Key operational deadlines and compliance cadence

  • Practical systems that support execution, not overhead

The outcome of the Jump Start is a business that is legitimate, organized, compliant, and ready to operate — without founders having to figure it out alone.

Format

  • 1–2 structured working sessions

  • Pre-work to understand your business and priorities

  • Real-time decisions, setup guidance, and clear next steps

  • A practical operating roadmap you can actually follow

Ideal for:

  • New founders who want to start correctly

  • Early-stage teams feeling disorganized

  • Founders transitioning from side project to real company

  • Leaders who want an experienced operator’s perspective early

Jump Start → Ongoing Support

For some founders, Jump Start is enough to get moving confidently.

For others, it becomes the foundation for an ongoing operational partnership.

After the workshop, clients can continue with:

  • Monthly operational check-ins

  • Ongoing finance and people systems support

  • Execution accountability

  • Transition into Fractional COO support as the company grows

This creates continuity — the systems we put in place don’t just exist, they evolve as the business evolves.

Why Jump Start Works

Founders often delay operational decisions because they feel overwhelming or unfamiliar. Jump Start removes that friction.

  • You don’t get theory.

  • You don’t get templates without context.

  • You get experienced operator guidance, applied directly to your business.

Not ready for a Fractional COO, but need things to feel solid?

The Jump Start Workshop is often the right place to begin.
