Signs your business needs a COO

You run sales, operations and finance yourself, and something always waits.
Revenue is growing, but margin and cash aren't keeping up.
Decisions stall until you approve them.
Departments work hard but don't connect: sales, delivery, purchasing and billing.
You need senior operating experience, but not a full-time executive salary yet.

An experienced operator, in the seat

A fractional COO takes ownership of how the business runs, so the owner can lead it.
With NorthGround, that typically means:

Setting a weekly operating rhythm: five key numbers, one meeting, clear owners.
Connecting sales, operations, purchasing and finance into one workflow.
Setting pricing and approval rules that protect margin.
Building the management routines and documentation that let the team run without you.
Leading vendor negotiations and cash discipline when the business is under pressure.

Start with the numbers, then take the seat

Most engagements begin with an X-RAY™ diagnostic (three to five weeks) so we agree on the real starting point. From there, we step in as your fractional or interim COO through OPERATING PARTNER™, for as long as it takes for the improvement to hold. Every engagement is agreed in writing, including the baseline we measure against.

From selling below cost to a 10% gross margin

At a products and services distributor, our founder moved from sales manager to COO within seven months, then led the turnaround across sales, operations, finance and purchasing. Gross margin rose from under 2% to over 10% within five quarters.

Fractional COO questions

A fractional COO works part-time, usually one to two days a week, alongside your team. An interim COO works full-time for a set period, often during a turnaround or while you hire a permanent executive.
Less than a full-time executive. We scope the fee to your company's size and the time needed, and agree it in writing before work begins.
Usually six months or more. The goal is a team and set of routines that keep working after we step back.
We work with companies across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, on site and remotely.
