Fractional Executive Search

The senior layer a growing Miami business is missing.

You have built something that sells. It lacks the senior judgement that a company of this size has not yet been able to put on the payroll.

The situation

Why a full executive team is out of reach for now

A permanent CFO, COO or CMO is the obvious move. For most small businesses here it is the wrong one:

01

The cost is out of scale

A senior executive costs what a whole team costs, in a city where newcomers keep pushing the price up.

02

The search is slow

A proper search takes months, and the problem in front of you does not wait.

03

Fit is hard to judge

A hire who does not understand the family, the language or the customers costs a year to find out.

04

You need part of a person

Most firms at this size need a few days a week of real senior input, not five.

A fractional executive is a proven operator who gives your business a part of the week. Not a consultant who writes up a report and goes, but a senior colleague who decides in their domain and is accountable for the result.

Is it the right fit?

Who this is for, and who it is not

Best for

  • Founders carrying a C-suite function themselves with no time left to lead
  • Businesses that need senior capability two or three days a week, not five
  • A specific gap in finance, operations, marketing, technology or people that is holding growth back
  • Teams that cannot yet justify, or afford, a full-time executive salary
  • Owners who want an operator accountable for outcomes, not a consultant with a deck

Not for

  • A junior or purely execution role a full-time manager should own
  • A one-off project an agency could deliver and hand back
  • Businesses wanting a figurehead rather than someone who does the work
  • A pre-revenue idea with no function yet to lead

Why owner-run firms choose us

Senior judgement for a growing firm

An owner-run firm needs senior help for part of the week and someone keeping the engagement on track. We provide both.

1 monthNotice, either way
800+Curated and vetted executives
2–3 weeksBrief to deployment
30–60%Less than a full-time hire, on our engagements

Governance as standard

We review the engagement with you at agreed points and revise the brief when the business changes.

A collective to draw on

One executive joins you, with a collective of 800+ in support. A margin question that turns out to be a currency question finds someone who has handled one.

The file stays with us

We keep an up-to-date picture of your business, so if the executive changes, the next one starts informed and we handle the move.

Practical over polished

An owner-run firm needs someone who will work the problem with the owner, not report on it. Temperament decides our short list.

How it works

What an engagement looks like

From first call to an embedded operator in weeks, not months.

01

Discovery

We spend time understanding your business: challenges, goals, team dynamics, and what 'success' looks like in 90 days.

02

Match

We introduce the right fractional executive from our vetted collective. You meet them, ask hard questions, and confirm the fit.

03

Scoped engagement begins

The engagement launches with a defined scope, clear deliverables, and a structured cadence. Your fractional is embedded, not advisory.

04

Adapt and evolve

As your business changes, the engagement changes with it. Add hours, shift focus, introduce a second specialist, all without restructuring.

Where to start

Which executive do you need first?

You do not need to know the answer before you call. Match the problem you feel most to the operator who owns it.

Common questions

The questions buyers ask first

Usually two to three weeks after we first speak. Starting from a curated collective keeps it quick, and we would still rather match well than fast.

Often it is the best fit. A small team feels the lack of senior judgement most and is least able to buy it full time.

We match on language when the brief calls for it, and confirm it before anyone starts.
