Case Study
Giving a Founder 15 Hours of Their Time Back Every Week
When this founder came to me, they were buried in operations — managing freelancers, invoices, holding every thread. Within 30 days, I gave them back 15 hours a week and built the systems to keep it that way.
WHAT THE FOUNDER CAN NOW DO
BEFORE:
• Spending 3+ hours daily on admin and follow-ups
• Personally onboarding every freelancer
• No SOPs — everything lived in the founder's head
• Reactive mode: solving fires
• Work bleeding into personal time
WHAT'S NOW IN PLACE AFTER:
• 15 hours/week freed for strategy and growth
• Freelancer onboarding runs on autopilot
• Documented SOPs for all recurring workflows
• Deadlines met consistently with async systems
• Ability to actually disconnect
✓ Payroll SOPs & scheduling automation ✓ Freelancer onboarding workflow ✓ Tech Stack Evaluation & RevOps
✓ CRM ownership & pipeline management ✓ Weekly async reporting system ✓ Newsletter strategy & content calendar
30 days of true fractional Chief of Staff work looks like this: the business finally runs without the founder holding every thread.
