A Fractional COO is a part-time Chief Operating Officer hired by a company to provide strategic operational guidance.

These leaders customize their involvement according to the specific needs and size of the company, ensuring efficiency and success. A Fractional COO is flexible and not a permanent, costly, salaried hire.

A Chief Operating Officer (COO) oversees the day-to-day operations of a company, ensuring that business processes run smoothly and align with organizational goals. Their responsibilities include implementing strategies, optimizing efficiency, managing resources, and fostering collaboration between different departments. The COO works closely with other executives to develop and execute plans that contribute to the company's overall success. They often play a key role in decision-making, risk management, and organizational development, working to improve operational performance and drive sustainable growth.

The cost of hiring a Fractional COO depends on the specific needs of your business. PBS will discuss expectations, scope of work, and pricing details upfront to ensure transparency and alignment with your budget. Some clients, after an initial higher period, are only looking for limited ongoing support and others have significant needs. We can work with either.

Absolutely. Our goal is always to do what is in the best interest of you, our client. Once you are at a point where you want to hire a full-time COO, we can perform the search to find that person and we will know what skills and experience they will need then better than anyone besides you.

Yes it is.
