What if running your firm wasn't exhausting? What if it was fun? What if you tossed out the rule book and starting doing things your way? We make doing business simpler and more sustainable. Because let's face it - life's too short for business not to be fun and sustainable.
let's be real -
Running a profitable AEC firm doesn't have to consume you.
We've worked at at the firms, taken the classes, read the books, done the trial and error, worked for the jerks (to learn how not to do business), watched the videos, tested the theories, attended the conferences, gotten the certifications, experimented and learned the tech, and studied "the gurus" (again to learn 100 ways not to do things) - so you don't have to.
It's time to get off the hamster wheel.
You need someone on your side who understands both your industry and efficient business operations.
Our Fractional COO service is about partnering with you to enhance your operations, streamline your processes, and guide your strategic planning. If you want to free up more of your time to focus on your passions, your clients, and your unique vision, then this service is a perfect fit for you.
Comprehensive business management, strategy and support for women-led AEC firms. Operations, metrics, team management and project management are all included in this service. This is an exclusive, high level, high touch service designed to help firms level up in a smart, sustainable way.

“Catherine is the absolute definition of Southern generosity and kindness. She truly cares about designers and helping us customize the BOD process to the tone of voice and values of our business. She has such great verbiage for working through disagreements or misunderstandings with trades. And so generous in sharing resources and examples to guide you through a tough situation. She put me at ease knowing exactly how to deal with a prickly situation with a tradesperson and the best way to handle it in the future. You can tell she has a ton of experience and knows how processes should work together. She was born to be a business coach and you get that sense within 5 minutes of talking with her. Her kindness and warm heart really shine through. You can tell why she has a successful design firm because she practices what she preaches and does it in a kind, caring and honest way.”
