Problem-Solving Call

Building a business is a series of decisions—some big, some small, all important. But when you're the only one making those decisions, it's easy to get stuck.

Whether you're unsure which accounting software to choose, how to run your first payroll, or how to set up a repeatable onboarding process, these small-seeming roadblocks can take up outsized space in your head (and your calendar).

You don’t always need a full-time operations hire—or even a full consulting engagement.

Sometimes, you just need to talk to someone who’s been there, can quickly understand the problem, and knows what levers to pull to get you unstuck.

That’s exactly what the Problem Solving Call is for.

It’s a one-hour working session with a seasoned operations executive, designed to address a single, well-scoped challenge in your business. You bring the problem; we dig into it live. Then I follow up with a tailored report outlining your best options, vetted tools or vendor suggestions, and specific action steps you can take right away.

It’s high-leverage clarity—for founders who need help now, without the commitment of a long-term engagement.

What’s Included:

  • A 60-minute Zoom call focused on a single operational challenge

  • Real-time strategy + brainstorming to surface options, tools, workflows, and best practices

  • A post-call report summarizing recommendations, decision frameworks, tool/vendor recs, and concrete next steps

  • Optional follow-up support (available separately if needed)

This isn’t just a generic one-size-fits-all coaching session. It’s a working session, grounded in experience and tailored to your business. You'll leave with a decision made—or at least a clear, confident way to make it.

This service is ideal for:

  • Solopreneurs and bootstrapping founders who are doing it all and need occasional operational guidance

  • Early-stage entrepreneurs who are exploring or launching a business and want to set things up the right way from the beginning

  • Business owners on a budget who want strategic input but can’t justify a consultant or fractional COO (yet)

  • Founders with no ops team who need quick support on a specific problem, process, or tool

  • People who don’t have time to “figure it out” alone anymore and want to make a smart, fast decision

Maybe you’ve Googled around for hours. Maybe you’ve built three different spreadsheets. Maybe you just need someone to talk to who knows what they’re doing. This is for you.

Delivering Actionable Insights and Measurable Value

You already know what happens when you stay stuck:

→ You procrastinate.

→ You lose time.

→ You make a rushed decision.

→ You try to “just get through it” and then end up doing twice as much work to clean it up later.

The Problem Solving Call is designed to short-circuit that spiral.

Instead of spinning your wheels or putting off a decision, you’ll spend one focused hour with someone who’s solved these problems before. You’ll get the context and clarity you need to take confident action—whether that means implementing something yourself, delegating it, or shelving it with intention.

You don’t need to do everything alone.

Sometimes, you just need one really good conversation with the right person.

What We Can Cover

Here are just a few of the problems we can tackle in a Problem Solving Call:

  • “I need to set up payroll for the first time and have no idea where to start.”

  • “How should I structure my invoicing and accounting workflows?”

  • “I know I need a CRM or project management tool—but which one, and how should I use it?”

  • “I’m tracking expenses and income in a messy spreadsheet and need a better way.”

  • “What financial KPIs should I actually be monitoring at this stage?”

  • “My team is growing—how do I make onboarding consistent without reinventing the wheel every time?”

  • “We’re drowning in Slack and email and don’t know how to get our workflow under control.”

  • Or, something else!

These are the kinds of challenges that don’t require months of consulting, but do require expert perspective.

In a Problem Solving Call, we’ll unpack the problem, talk through your options, and design a solution that’s tailored to your business, your team, and your priorities.
