Revenue looks fine. The team is working hard. The margin is still thin and you can't say exactly where it's going. That's where we start.
Let's talk →When revenue isn't converting to profit, when growth feels one crisis away, the instinct is to work harder. That's the wrong lever. We find the system under the symptom and fix the right thing.
You come in with a problem you've been circling. We come in with questions. No deck, no agenda, no pitch. We listen for what's underneath what you're saying, because that's almost always where the real thing is.
You leave with more clarity than you came with.
Free. The foundation for everything else.
← flip backThe Diagnostic gives you clarity on what's actually wrong and a prioritized path to fix it. We talk to everyone from your leadership to the teams doing the work. We look at scopes, margins, and financials to find exactly where you're losing momentum and profit.

← flip backWe work with founders running agencies between $2M and $20M who are generating real work and watching the margins not keep pace with it. If you've tried fixing it piece by piece and the problem keeps coming back, you're in the right place.
What ran on goodwill and late nights is now a liability. The agency is bigger. The infrastructure is the same. The gap shows up in your margins every single month.
Revenue looks fine. The team is working hard. But margins are thinner than they should be and you can't point to exactly why.
You didn't start this to spend your days in resourcing meetings. Operations is costing you the thing you're actually good at.
The opportunity is real. So is the risk. Onboarding a major client into a system that isn't ready can cost more than it makes.
When revenue grows but profit doesn't, the instinct is to look at rates, or headcount, or client mix. Those aren't the problem. The problem is that the operational infrastructure built for a $3M agency is still running a $9M agency. The gap between those two realities is where the margin goes. We find that gap. We close it.
When you find the right thing to fix first, it opens everything downstream. The work isn't about finding every problem. It's about finding the right one.
The right fix is never the obvious one. It's the one two levels below what broke.
The cost is invisible until it isn't. We'd rather find it before it becomes urgent, expensive, and all at once.
The founders who get the most out of this are the ones willing to hear what's actually there. We say what we see, in the spirit of helping you build something that lasts.
The work is better than the system.
Most agencies solve the problem in front of them. Then the next one. Then the next one. They fix the timesheet and find a scoping problem. They fix the scoping problem and find a pricing problem. The pricing problem turns out to be a leadership alignment problem.
The broken thing is never the only thing. Fixing it in isolation leaves everything that generated it untouched.
&also is a reminder to keep asking. And also what? And also who? And also what happens when we change this? We don't fix the most obvious part. We build solutions for the whole picture. Because when the system actually works, your foundation finally runs at the speed of your ambition.
I've held operations leadership roles as a VP of Operations, Managing Director, and Head of Client Services, overseeing $20M+ in agency revenue. I've been the person who had to tell a founder that their margin problem wasn't their clients or their rates. It was the gap between what they scoped and what they actually delivered, compounded over two years into a structural loss.
I've grown agency revenue by 50% by finding where the sale was already won but the process wasn't converting fast enough. Founders losing ground not because the work was wrong, but because scopes and program plans were moving too slowly. I've closed project margin gaps by fixing not just how work gets scoped, but how it gets tracked and delivered throughout the engagement.
I built &also for founders who are ready to stop managing the mess and fix the source. When an agency has real operational momentum, it doesn't just ship work. It can grow without breaking.
