Who we are

Strategy meets execution.

Most consultants hand you a deck. Most developers hand you a tool. We do something different: we design complete operational solutions — the strategy, the systems, and the adoption plan — tailored to how your business actually runs.

100%

Certified & Proven

Jake is Airtable Builder certified and builds the platforms your operations run on.

Nick has led enterprise change management for AI, ERP, and process automation initiatives serving 85,000+ employees.

Together, we cover the full stack — from system design to organizational adoption.

18+

Combined Years

We're operations consultants who happen to be very good at building systems. Not the other way around. Between us, we've spent nearly two decades solving the kinds of operational problems that don't have a product you can just buy — from building automated platforms for growing businesses to driving $500M transformation programs at Fortune 500 companies. The best system is the one people actually use. That's why we deliver both.

6+

Industries

Consulting, defense, manufacturing, construction, investment, and enterprise HR — six industries that share operational complexity and demand systems that work. This range lets us spot what's universal and what's unique to your business.

What we do

How we help

From evaluation to implementation to adoption — we handle the full lifecycle.

Full Platform Build

Full Platform Build

For businesses ready to replace the patchwork. Complete operational systems that connect your finances, projects, clients, and teams in one platform. I design and build the infrastructure your business runs on—not a database, not a tool, but the system that replaces the five you're currently fighting with.

Targeted Automation

Targeted Automation

For teams drowning in manual work. Specific workflows that eliminate the repetitive tasks eating your week. Data entry, reporting, approvals, handoffs—automated and connected to the systems you already use. Solve the problem without rebuilding everything.

Advisory & Strategy

Advisory & Strategy

For leaders who need clarity before application. Sometimes you need to understand what you actually need before anyone starts building. I help you map your operations, identify the real bottlenecks, and design a system strategy—whether I build it or someone else does.

Real problems we've solved. Real systems we've built.

Consulting Operations

A small consulting firm running on spreadsheets, email threads, and QuickBooks — with month-end close that meant days of reconciliation and a lot of crossed fingers. We built the system that replaced all of it.
Financial Operations
Resource Planning

Investment Management

A real estate investment business tracking bookings, revenue, and taxes across multiple rental properties — all in spreadsheets. We built a system that automated the booking process and turned scattered financial data into a single source of truth.

ERP Implementation Support

A large enterprise implementing a major ERP system — with a project tracking base that had grown to over 150 tables and become nearly unusable. We redesigned the entire structure to support the implementation the way it should have been built from the start.

Enterprise AI & HR Transformation

A global enterprise with 85,000+ employees needed to modernize HR operations with AI-driven solutions. We led the technical discovery, implementation, and adoption strategy for a conversational AI assistant integrated with ServiceNow, Workday, and Microsoft Teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tools do you use?

It depends on what you need. We're platform-agnostic — Airtable, Power Platform, ServiceNow, Oracle, Zapier, Make, and custom solutions all have their place. Jake is an Airtable Builder certified specialist, and Nick has deep experience with enterprise systems like ServiceNow, Power Apps, and Oracle. We pick the tools that fit your business, not the other way around.

Do you work with businesses our size?

We've built systems for teams of 3 and driven adoption programs for organizations of 85,000+. Size matters less than complexity. If your operations have outgrown your tools — whether that's spreadsheets or enterprise software that doesn't fit — we should talk.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes. Systems need maintenance, and businesses change. We offer retainer arrangements for clients who want ongoing optimization, support, and continuous improvement.

How much does this cost?

It varies by scope and complexity. We're not the cheapest option, but we're the ones who build systems that actually work and last — and make sure your team uses them. We'll give you a clear proposal after we talk through what you need.

What to expect: $100-$200/hour or a Flat-Fee option

What's the process for getting started?

1. Initial call — We talk through what's broken and what you need
2. Proposal — We send scope, timeline, and pricing
3. Discovery — We map your operations and design the solution
4. Build & Implement — We build it, you test it, we refine until it works
5. Adoption & Handoff — Training, documentation, change management, and support

Let's figure out what you actually need.

Not a sales call. A conversation about what's broken, what's working, and whether we're the right team to help.
