Become a Fractional COO in 4 Months.

Transform Businesses, Flex Your Leadership Skills, and Build a Dynamic Career.

After working with thousands of CEOs, we’ve learned what does and does not help a business run smoothly and efficiently (without the owner’s involvement).

And the most important?

A solid right hand.

Someone who can take the lead operationally, make key decisions, activate the team, and develop systems.

But these are hard to find… right?

Well, they used to be.

INTRODUCING…

A certification program that will train assistants, VA’s, project managers, operations managers, and anyone looking for a career uplevel to become a highly skilled right-hand to any CEO, anywhere.

CEO’s Need Leaders Like You.

Here’s Why:

Small business owners have a lot on their plates.

They’re constantly switching between visionary and operational roles, and it’s overwhelming.

The most important hire they will ever make, the one that will help them take their business to the next level, is their right-hand person.

Every CEO needs a COO.

Someone who can shoulder the operational load, make strategic decisions, and bring stability to their day-to-day work.

Since the day we started Run Like Clockwork the #1 question we always get asked is….

"Can I hire someone to come in and handle my operations for me?!"

We had to turn those CEOs away for too long, but now, with our Fractional Clockwork Operating Officers, the answer is…

“Yes, I have the perfect person!”.

(Pssst… that’s you!)

You may be a VA, OBM, Ops Manager, Project Manager, or even looking for a lucrative career change that allows you to have more flexibility and increase your income.

You’re passionate about helping businesses thrive sustainably. 

Yet, you’ve seen the struggle: small businesses drained by inefficient systems and overwhelmed CEOs. They need guidance and are looking for an expert—someone just like you

What You’ll Achieve as a Fractional COO

  • Work with any business, pinpointing bottlenecks and improving efficiency immediately.

  • Partner with CEOs who respect your insights and depend on you as a strategic leader.

  • Grow your career on your terms with a proven system that drives meaningful results.

The small businesses we’ve worked with over the years sit right in the $500k - $5M annual revenue range.

At this level, they needed a highly trained and skilled operations person, but they weren’t quite ready to afford a full-time COO.

How much can you earn as a Fractional COO™?

The sky’s the limit!

The salary for a Fractional COO can vary depending on factors like industry, experience, and scope of work.

The average salary for a Fractional COO is $100,000 - $300,000 per year.

We recommend charging no less than $100 per hour, but you are welcome to structure and sell your services in any way that suits your goals.
