You built this company from nothing. Now it can't survive without you. I help founder-led businesses build the systems, KPIs, and team structures that let them scale — and finally step back.
One question: If you got hit by a bus tomorrow — would your business survive the week?
Founder-trapped businesses all look different on the outside. Inside, they're running the exact same pattern — and hitting the exact same ceiling.
Revenue stalls the moment your calendar is full. Every new client means more of you — and there's only so much of you to go around.
Your team escalates everything. Customers only trust the owner. No one acts without your approval — because there's no system that lets them.
Without KPI tracking and workflow discipline, overhead creeps quietly while you work longer hours for a smaller return year over year.
The business isn't sellable. It can't run without you. There's no documentation, no transferable value — you're trapped by what you built.
Staff don't develop accountability because you always rescue the situation. The team operates at the ceiling of whoever leads them — and they know it.
You didn't build this to work 60-hour weeks forever. You just never got the infrastructure to hand it off. That's exactly what I build.
I'm not a consultant who learned this from a course. I lived it — 20+ years building and running the operational infrastructure of a professional services firm, growing it from a single-provider practice into a full multi-team organization.
I've built the KPI dashboards. Written the SOPs. Designed the staffing models. Built the accountability systems that let a founder finally work on the business instead of in it. Every recommendation I make has been pressure-tested in the real world.
As a CFP®, I bring a financial discipline most operations consultants don't have. Every system I build protects your margins — not just your workflow.
Every engagement starts with understanding your business. Then we build — systematically, practically, and with your team's buy-in from day one.
A focused 2-hour diagnostic to identify your three biggest operational bottlenecks — with a written findings report and prioritized roadmap.
The full transformation. We build the complete operational infrastructure your business needs to run without you holding everything together.
Your outsourced DOO on retainer. I act as your ongoing operational partner — weekly check-ins, metric reviews, and strategic guidance as you grow.
A four-step process with no fluff and no endless discovery phases. We move fast — from diagnosis to working systems in 90 days.
30 minutes. No pitch. Just an honest diagnosis of where your business is stuck and whether we're the right fit.
We map every bottleneck, broken handoff, and missing system. You see exactly where you're bleeding time and margin.
We build your KPI system, SOPs, and delegation framework — with your team, not just for them. Adoption is built in from day one.
You graduate from operator to owner. The business runs, grows, and performs — with or without you in the room.
Founder-trapped businesses have identical operational problems regardless of what they do. If you have a team and a founder doing everything — I can help.

WHAT FOUNDERS
SAY AFTER.
Real results from real founder-led businesses. Add your testimonials here as they come in.
I was working 70-hour weeks and couldn't see a way out. Within 60 days of working with Sherry, my team was running the operation and I finally had time to think about growth.
The KPI dashboard alone changed everything. For the first time I could see what was actually happening in my business instead of guessing. My team knew exactly what was expected.
