Your Questions,
Answered

If you have additional questions, please reach out to our team at ops@catroten.com.

  • Fractional support is best when you want an embedded partner who leads strategy, operations, and team execution over time.

    Consulting is the right fit when you need targeted audits, strategic guidance, or short-term implementation for a specific project or transition.

  • You’re ready when your vision has outgrown your current systems and you want a more sustainable way to lead and operate. Most founders reach this point when they’re juggling too many responsibilities, making decisions without structure, or feeling their foundation can’t support the next stage of growth.

  • SBS supports service-based and tech/software founders with small to mid-size teams. Every engagement is tailored to your specific needs, whether through fractional leadership, project-based consulting, or a focused sprint.

  • Begin by submitting the inquiry form. From there, you’ll schedule a short discovery call so we can understand your goals and determine the best path forward.

  • Most engagements are remote. In-person support or travel is available for leadership work or key milestones depending on scope.

Client Case Study

4x Pricing with Sustainable Growth

A residential architect came to our partnership three years into his business. He had strong demand and a full workload but wanted clearer structure, stronger systems, and a more sustainable path for growth.

Over the past ten months, we’ve built a steady rhythm of strategic planning, weekly vision alignment, and a standardized client process. With the right operational foundation in place, he now works with clarity, consistency, and confidence.

Today, his pricing has increased 4x, significantly raising his annual revenue and relieving month-to-month financial pressure. His workload is more predictable, his systems support the growth he wants, and he now has long-term support to continue expanding without burnout.

Let's See Whats Possible for You

“Before Cat came onboard, I felt overwhelmed by the complexity of my systems. She consistently followed up with clear next steps, kept the project moving forward, and ensured I always knew where we were in the process. I trusted her expertise, and the transformation in my business operations has been significant. I highly recommend Cat to any business owner who wants to optimize their systems and gain clarity in their processes.
