Five ways
I can help.
Five engagements, each with a fixed scope and a clear deliverable. The work produces something you own — not access to a retainer. If you're not sure which fits, the audit exists for exactly that.
Business Technology Audit
One hour on a call, then a written plan. A clear read of where your tech is leaking money, where it is quietly risky, and what three things I would fix first. Yours to keep whether you hire me or not.
Full Tech Stack Setup
I pick and configure your technology foundation from scratch: email, storage, CRM, calendars, security, backups. You end the engagement with a system that runs without an IT department, documented clearly enough that your next hire can use it on day one.
Subscription Cleanup
I read every software invoice you have paid in the last 12 months, find the duplication and the dormant seats, and write you a keep / cancel / switch memo with real numbers attached.
AI, Used Carefully
Real AI implementation for small teams — not demos, not chatbots. We identify the two or three workflows where it actually saves time, configure it properly, and train the people who will use it. No hype. No new tools abandoned in six months.
Fractional CTO
A few hours a month of senior technology judgment, on retainer. For owners who need someone to call when a vendor says something suspicious, or when they are making a decision they cannot un-make.
Also. Sometimes —
A few other things, usually for clients I'm already helping.
These aren't on the main menu because I don't want to overpromise them. If you already work with me, or you're close to, just ask.
- i.A website, built properly. From a domain and blank slate to a working site — design, copy structure, SEO, and deployment. Fast, clean, something you can update yourself. No monthly retainer to keep the lights on, no template that looks like everyone else.
- ii.A website audit. Folded into the Business Technology Audit if you ask. I look at what it is doing for your business, not what a Google PageSpeed score says.
- iii.Data migrations. Moving records between systems without losing the thing you meant to keep. Tedious, important, easy to get wrong in a hurry.
- iv.Custom integrations. Zapier, Make, small scripts. When two pieces of software need to talk and neither of them wants to.
- v.Training a team on new software. Short, real sessions, not a recorded Loom nobody watches. Until everyone is actually using it.
Aside. ON PRICING
I'd rather quote you than list prices.
The audit and subscription cleanup are fixed fees — listed above. Everything else is quoted flat after a short conversation about what you're starting from. Most project engagements land between $2,500 and $12,000. The fractional retainer starts at $1,200 a month.
Every engagement is scoped in writing before any work begins. No hourly billing, no invoices that surprise you, no emails asking to extend scope.

N. iv. Next step
Start with the thing that makes the rest easier.
The audit is the fastest path through any of this — one hour, a written plan you keep regardless of what happens next. If you already know what you need, skip it and book a call directly.
