Running a business shouldn't feel harder every month.
But for many founders and business owners, growth brings complexity. Projects start living in people's heads. Processes become inconsistent. Communication gets messy. Things fall through the cracks. And before long, you're spending more time managing chaos than leading the business.
That's where I come in.
I'm Katlyn, an Operations Partner and Fractional COO with 10+ years of experience helping business owners create clarity, structure, and momentum behind the scenes.
I've led operations for healthcare organizations, supported growing service-based businesses, implemented systems and automations, built SOPs and accountability frameworks, managed complex projects, and helped leadership teams create businesses that run more smoothly and predictably.
Some clients hire me because they're growing.
Others hire me because they're tired of putting out fires.
Both are valid.
My role is to help business owners build stronger operations so they can spend less time chasing problems and more time focusing on the work they actually enjoy.
Some of the ways I help:
• Operational audits and process improvement
• SOP creation and workflow design
• Project and team coordination
• CRM implementation and optimization
• AI and automation integration
• KPI dashboards and reporting
• Hiring, onboarding, and team accountability
• Client and patient journey optimization
• Executive support and operational leadership
A few recent examples:
I helped a pelvic floor physical therapy practice grow from a solo provider to a team of three physical therapists while improving scheduling efficiency, standardizing workflows, and increasing margins by 12%.
I partnered with an intervention and transport company to strengthen compliance-driven operations, improve reporting visibility, and create systems that allowed leadership to focus on the business instead of constantly managing operational issues.
I conducted a deep operational review for a service-based business that uncovered missed revenue opportunities, improved billing processes, and increased margins by 10% within six months.
What clients appreciate most is that I don't just identify problems.
I help solve them.
I become a trusted partner behind the scenes, someone who can organize the moving pieces, create structure where it's missing, and help the business run more effectively day after day.
If you're looking for someone who can bring order to the chaos, strengthen your operations, and help your business work better, I'd love to connect.
