Fractional CTO
We provide senior technology leadership for businesses that need it now, not eventually.
We work directly inside your business, auditing your systems, building AI-powered workflows across your operations, and acting as a consistent technology partner as you grow. This isn't guidance from a distance. It's hands-in engagement with your actual operations.
The problem we solve
Technology becomes the bottleneck. Usually right when you can least afford it.
Most growing businesses hit the same wall. The product or service is strong. The team is there. Revenue is coming in. And then something shifts: systems that don't talk to each other, manual processes that still sit with the founder, a back office that works on goodwill and institutional memory rather than anything reliable.
The obvious answer is a CTO. The reality is that a full-time technology director is expensive, hard to hire well, and often premature at the stage when businesses need them most.
A generalist agency fills a different gap. They'll give you a website, a CRM setup, maybe some integrations. They won't give you the transformation.
We sit in neither category. We bring 20 years of technology and operations leadership into your business on a fractional basis, auditing what you have, building what you need, and staying in the room as things evolve.
What's included
Everything from audit to automation to ongoing advisory.
AI Ecosystem Audit
A structured review of your current tools, workflows, and technology stack. We identify what's working, what's blocking growth, and where AI creates the highest immediate value.
Agentic Back Office
We deploy AI-powered workflows across your operations: contracts, compliance, finance, onboarding, and client communications. Processes that currently rely on manual effort, systematised and running automatically.
Custom Automations
We build agentic workflows tailored to your specific operations, not generic tools adapted for your context, but processes designed around how your business actually works.
Content and SEO Automation
AI-driven content workflows integrated into your business, from planning and production through to publishing and performance tracking.
Team Scaling
We take automations from founder-level tools to company-wide systems. What starts as something you do becomes something your whole team has access to.
Ongoing Advisory
A consistent point of contact for technology decisions. As your business grows and new tools emerge, we help you evaluate, prioritise, and stay ahead, rather than catching up.
How it works
Four phases. No rigid scope.
Engagements are structured around days per month, typically two to four, depending on the current phase of work. We don't lock you into a fixed deliverable list. As your business evolves, so does what we're working on.
Discover
We spend time understanding your current state: tools, workflows, where time is going, where growth is being blocked. We leave this phase with a clear picture of priorities and a plan.
Build
We build and deploy the highest-impact automations and integrations. This phase is the most hands-on; we're inside your systems, building real things with your real data.
Embed
We make sure your team can use, maintain, and extend what we've built. The goal isn't dependency; it's capability. Every automation we build comes with documentation and knowledge transfer.
Expand
As the business grows, we keep pushing the frontier. New tools, new processes, new integrations. You always know what we're working on and why.
Who this is for
Your back office starts running itself.
- Startups and SMEs with 5–50 people growing faster than their current technology infrastructure can support
- Non-technical founders who know technology needs to be better but don't have the expertise to make it happen
- Stretched technical founders who are capable but don't have the time, still doing things manually because there's no one else to automate them
- Businesses without a dedicated technology function who need senior technology input without committing to a full-time hire
Technology shouldn't be the thing holding your business back.
Engagements are structured around your current phase of growth, typically two to four days per month on a rolling monthly basis, with no minimum commitment. Get in touch and we'll talk through what makes sense for where you are right now.
