What this is

Fractional Advisor Retainer

An ongoing monthly retainer that gives you a senior advisor on call. We meet on a regular cadence, you bring whatever is in front of you — a hiring decision, a vendor problem, a pricing question, a strategy doubt — and we think through it together. Between meetings, you can reach out for faster takes.

How it works

Monthly retainer; 3-month minimum, then month-to-month.

A standing monthly meeting (typically 60–90 minutes) plus access between meetings for quick takes — messages, short calls, document reviews. Retainer tiers vary by meeting frequency and response depth. Minimum commitment is three months; month-to-month thereafter.

Starts at $2,000/month

Who it's for

  • Solo owners and small-team owners who don't have a peer to think through decisions with
  • Businesses between $500K and $10M where the owner is the bottleneck on big calls
  • Anyone who has outgrown "ask a friend" but isn't ready to hire a senior executive

What you walk away with

  • Standing monthly working session (60–90 minutes)
  • Async access for quick takes (email, short calls, document reviews)
  • Written summary of each meeting — decisions made, next steps
  • Quarterly written check-in on trajectory and priorities

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a business coach? +
Coaches typically focus on accountability, mindset, and self-directed goal-setting. A fractional advisor focuses on the business decision in front of you — sizing, strategy, vendors, hiring — and gives direct recommendations. Different job.
Can I bring my team into sessions? +
Sometimes yes, especially for a specific decision. The default is one-on-one — owners often need a space where they can be honest without their team in the room.
What if I only need a retainer for a few months? +
That's fine. After the 3-month minimum, you can pause or stop with 30 days' notice. We design for owners to outgrow the retainer, not get stuck in it.
Do you only advise on marketing? +
No. Marketing, operations, hiring, pricing, vendor decisions, product, strategy — anything the owner has to decide on. If we hit a topic where you need a specialist (legal, tax, engineering), we'll tell you and help you find the right person.
