Let’s Talk Through What's Stuck

Who I Help

I help solo founders and small service-based teams who care deeply about what they’re building but feel stretched by the weight of operations. If you’re navigating growth, change, or just trying to make space to breathe, I bring structure, insight, and calm to the chaos—so you can focus on the work that matters most.

Solo Founders & Independent Operators

You’re running the show—and doing it well—but the back office is eating your time. I help you streamline operations, manage cash flow, and build systems that support your growth without burning you out.

Small Service-Based Teams

You’ve built a great service, but the internal processes haven’t caught up. I work with small teams to reduce friction, delegate effectively, and create clarity across HR, finance, and day-to-day operations.

Coaches, Consultants & Creatives

You’re the product—but you’re also the bookkeeper, scheduler, and team lead. I help you untangle the operational mess, so you can focus on delivering value while knowing the business side is handled.

Anyone Feeling Stretched Too Thin

If you’re juggling too many roles, stuck in reactive mode, or unsure how to scale without breaking things—I’m here. Whether you need a strategic partner, a systems thinker, or just someone to talk it through, I’ve got you.

Founders Bring Me In To:

  • Untangle operational bottlenecks after growth
  • Improve cash flow visibility and decision‑making
  • Reduce founder overload by building clearer systems and ownership
  • Create calmer, more sustainable day‑to‑day operations

“Josh is a rare blend of detail-oriented and creative. He’s the person who keeps the lights on—and knows how to build the systems so others can, too. He’s managed cash flow masterfully, built a respected operations team, and delegated with intention to reduce risk and scale the business. When we had to do layoffs, Josh was the one I trusted to have every 1:1 conversation. His empathy, honesty, and ability to connect—while still driving results—are what make him indispensable. He’s a Swiss army knife, and every founder should be so lucky.”
