Who Works with a Fractional COO?
Seed & Series A Founders
Early stage founders require a relentless focus on finding product market fit, and look to a fractional COO to provide the operations leadership to manage the rest. Once PMF is achieved, the fractional COO transitions into supporting growth and scale, eventually hiring on a full time COO as a successor.
Agencies
There are 3 main use cases for a fractional COO in an Agency; (1) A referral partner for your clientsā operational needs. (2) An outsourced project manager for your agency work. (3) Operations support for your agency itself.
Small Business Owners
A small business requires constant daily decision-making that keeps the owner working in the business rather than on the business. A fractional COO serves as a triaging partner to give the owner breathing room, while systematically addressing the underlying processes needed to enable the business to operate more efficiently.
VC & PE Firms
As a Venture Capital or Private Equity firm, you place bets with calculated risk. A fractional COO is a strategic investment to further de-risk your investments. Whether by providing experienced management to young leaders, or strategic planning and disciplined execution for turnaround projects.
Solopreneurs
Working on your own can be a lonely endeavor. Partnering with a fractional COO provides a sounding board, a business therapist, and an experienced operator to support your business infrastructure so you can maximize the time you spend delivering value to your clients, instead of worrying about invoicing or project management.
Law & Accounting Firms
Similar to agencies, Law & Accounting Firms can leverage a fractional COO as a referral partner as operations are intimately linked with finance and legal matters.
Fractional COO Use Cases
A Fractional COO is like a Swiss army knife for your business. Imagine all the things piling up on your to-do list as a founder or business owner. You canāt just delegate them to your team because (a) theyāre already swamped, and (b) theyād still need lots of your time to get the job done.
A Fractional COO has the bandwidth and experience to tackle the growing list of to-doās with minimal oversight and proactive reporting, resulting in things getting done.

At 2Forks, we would have been lost without Parhamās ability to wrangle all our data from disparate sources, interpret what was important, and create accurate, insightful dashboards. Parhamās work didnāt just bring us operational excellence; it brought us confidence in our decisions and a stronger, more collaborative team.
David W, CEO at 2Forks

Parham was very patient and took a methodical approach to business. He made sure to really understand the business and do the research before providing recommendations. The fees were reasonable and he seemed like he truly cared to see us succeed versus just trying to bill by hour like other consultants.

āļø About Me
Thanks for visiting my site. Iām a strategy & operations integrator and entrepreneur with 20 years of experience.
My differentiator and competitive advantage is my authentic curiosity. I love asking questions and I wonāt stop until I fully understand the concept. This enables me to get to the core of any business and immerse myself in its intricacies.
I thrive wearing multiple hats and excel in (1) setting clear strategies, (2) crafting structured action plans, (3) fostering focus & execution in teams, (4) harnessing data for informed decision-making, and (5) nurturing high performing teams.
The only thing I love more than a great team is a great spreadsheet.
