Hire the Best Fractional Executives

If your HR operation is running on scattered spreadsheets, outdated documents, inconsistent practices, or pure survival instinct, I can help you turn it into a practical, scalable system. I bring 15+ years of combined HR, talent acquisition, workforce development, and candidate assessment experience. I combine senior-level HR leadership with Lean Six Sigma process improvement to diagnose what is not working, identify the root cause, and build solutions your organization can actually sustain. I do more than provide recommendations. I create the policies, workflows, documentation, tools, and implementation plans needed to put those recommendations into practice. Selected results include: • Reduced first-30-day employee turnover from over 60% to under 20% by redesigning onboarding operations and concentrating activity around the highest-volume start days • Reduced recruiting cycle times from 60–90 days to approximately 30–45 days by standardizing intake and screening criteria, redesigning recruiter workflows, and introducing pipeline and aging metrics • Increased recruiter productivity by 15% by designing and implementing the organization’s first performance-based incentive program • Developed the business case, financial analysis, KPI framework, and pilot for a workforce-model conversion that saved more than $175K per provider • Led a $20M+ operation and a 150-person multidisciplinary organization spanning recruiting, credentialing, analytics, project management, and provider payment I can help your organization with: • Fractional HR leadership and HR operational assessments • Employee handbooks, workplace policies, SOPs, and training materials • HR compliance reviews and process audits • Recruiting strategy, job descriptions, screening tools, and hiring-process improvement • Onboarding and offboarding workflows, forms, checklists, and manager guidance • Performance management, employee relations, and manager coaching • Organizational design, workforce planning, compensation, and accountability systems • HRIS implementation, workflow redesign, system documentation, and optimization Systems experience includes Workday, SAP HCM, Dayforce, UKG/UltiPro, iCIMS, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, SharePoint, Tableau, Power BI, MS Project, and MondayDOTcom. Industry experience includes healthcare, government contracting, nonprofit, manufacturing, staffing, professional services, consulting, and small business. I am especially effective in organizations where HR has grown reactively and leaders know something is not working, but have not had the time or internal expertise to fix it. Send me a message describing the problem, and I will help you determine what needs to happen next.

Most business owners can read last month's numbers. Far fewer can see what their cash looks like ninety days out. That forward view is what I build. I work as a fractional CFO and financial controller for small and mid-sized businesses that have outgrown basic bookkeeping but do not need a full-time finance hire. That means clean month-end close, financial statements you can trust, cash flow forecasting, budgeting and variance analysis, and KPI dashboards that show ownership what is actually happening. What I handle: Month-end and year-end close, QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Xero, bank and balance sheet reconciliations, financial statement preparation (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow), cash flow forecasting, budgeting and variance analysis, accounts payable and receivable, payroll compliance, KPI dashboards, and multi-entity accounting. I have built financial infrastructure from the ground up for businesses across e-commerce, automotive, distribution, professional services, and SaaS, including a car dealership with no accounting system, a Shopify brand with no forecast, and a multi-team operation that could not tell which parts of the business were profitable. I work with US businesses and keep US hours. If your books are being kept but you still cannot answer where the cash is going next quarter, that is the problem I solve.

For the last four years, I’ve been building automated marketing and sales funnels that do two things exceptionally well...save you time and add serious commas to your bottom line. Here are a few of my favorite wins: 👉 Worked with a 9-figure industry leader to write the sales page for his $36,000 mastermind, generating approximately $3.6 million a year from that single offer. 👉 Helped a self-mastery coach with a tiny following (just 1,412 people) add over $113,750 in revenue within six weeks. I also built the funnels and content that booked 50+ qualified sales calls in that exact window. 👉 Revived a dead 113k+ email list for an 8-figure entrepreneur. I pulled his campaigns out of the spam folder (where they were sitting at a dismal 5–10% open rate) and pushed them as high as 70% open rates and 3–5% click rates, directly driving dozens of high-ticket sales. 👉 Rescued a business coach’s company from the brink by building a complete sales funnel from scratch. In just eight weeks, we turned dormant social media engagement into a predictable stream of regular buyers. 👉 Rewrote the sales page for a $699 course, bumping the conversion rate from 0.81% to over 3%. That’s nearly a 4x jump in sales, all without spending an extra dime on traffic or changing the lead quality. But enough about my wins. Let's talk about yours. ;) Whether you want to launch a brand-new marketing strategy or squeeze every last drop of profit out of your current one, you're in the right place. Shoot me a message, and let's get to work. 😉 Keep making your customers happy, Octavian P.S. Someone told me only cool people look here, and you just proved it! ;) P.P.S.
