Scale the business.
Not the bottlenecks.
I'm the finance and operations right-hand you bring on before you can justify a full-time hire. Sometimes that means stepping in on the operation itself. Sometimes it means building custom software that turns hours of manual work into minutes.
A finance and operations leader who can build the fix, not just name it.
Not a tech consultant guessing at how you operate.
Your business is growing.
Your operations aren't keeping up.
You've outgrown what got you here. The spreadsheets held together with duct tape, the processes that live in your head, the workarounds that were supposed to be temporary. They worked when the business was smaller.
Now growth just means bigger headaches. You can't get a clear read on the numbers. Every decision still routes through you. And the manual work, the re-entry, the handwritten forms, eats hours nobody has.
It doesn't have to work that way.
Grant Yoder
I spent my career as a Director of Finance and Accounting in pharmaceutical manufacturing, the right-hand to site General Managers running 300+ person operations. The numbers were mine, but I used them to run the business, not just report on it: where to invest, what was working, what had to change.
I do that same job now for growing businesses, part-time. I'm the finance and operations leadership you need in the room but can't yet hire full-time, the partner who helps you see the whole business clearly and decide where it goes next. And when a problem is eating your team's hours, I build the custom software to take it off the table for good.
You get a partner who comes from the operational trenches, not a technology background, and someone built around a long-term relationship, not a vendor who ships a tool and disappears.
A seat on your team,
not a report from the sidelines.
For a handful of businesses at a time, I step in as a fractional finance and operations partner. The same right-hand role I held in manufacturing, sized to what you need and priced below a full-time hire.
I get into the finances and tell you what they're actually saying, so you're deciding on facts instead of gut feel.
I show you where the structure needs to change and help you get there, so the business runs without routing everything through you.
Not a one-time engagement and a handshake. A standing seat on your team for as long as it's useful.
When the fix is a tool,
I build it.
The same read on how your business actually runs, built into custom software that takes hours of manual work off your plate.
Your problem first.
Then we build the fix.
No templates, no off-the-shelf, just custom software shaped around how your team actually works. Here's how a build goes:
A working session to understand your operations and pinpoint where a custom tool can save measurable time. No pitch. No predetermined solution.
You see a working prototype within days. You give feedback. We adjust until the tool fits how your team actually works.
The finished tool is deployed to your team in weeks. I provide hands-on support through launch and beyond. Not a helpdesk. Me, directly.
Tools built for your workflow.
New hires stop waiting on managers. Experienced staff stop answering the same questions. Every answer cites the source document so people trust it.
No forms. No typing in the truck. Dictate the details, and AI extracts names, addresses, items, dates, and special instructions into a clean, shareable format.
Shift reports written by hand. Log books typed twice. Recurring tasks that grow with the business and never get easier. The kind of work no off-the-shelf tool fits, because every business runs differently.
The build is the start.
Not the finish.
A tool that ships and then drifts isn't worth building. Every engagement includes ongoing support and a regular working rhythm, so the tools keep delivering value and we keep finding the next constraint to take off your plate.
When something breaks or needs an immediate update, you have a direct line. The person on the other end already knows your business.
A regular check-in focused on what's next for your business. Sometimes that's a tweak to a tool we built. Sometimes it's working through an AI question on something you're trying yourself. Sometimes it's a new bottleneck worth tackling together. The agenda is whatever moves you forward.
Your tools keep running. Maintenance, small fixes, and routine updates are part of the relationship, not a separate invoice every time something needs attention.
Businesses that run
on operations.
If you're growing faster than your systems can keep up, losing hours to manual work, or making big calls without a clear read on the numbers, we should talk.
Let's talk about what's eating your time.
Five minutes to share what's slowing you down. If there's a fit, we move quickly. If there isn't, you'll know that too.
Practical AI, every other week.
One specific thing you can actually use, written the way I'd explain it to you over coffee.
