Services

Clear, independent technology advice for growing businesses.

I work with business owners who need help making sense of their systems, their options, and their next move. No implementation upsell, no vendor kickbacks — just straight advice.

CoastalOps Consulting

How I can help

Three ways to work together, depending on where you are and what you need.

Discovery Call

A free 30-minute conversation to talk through your situation. I'll ask the right questions, give you my honest read, and tell you whether I think I can help. No obligation.

Systems Audit

A structured review of your current tools, processes, and data flows. You get a written report with clear findings and prioritised recommendations you can act on — with or without me.

Ongoing Advisory

A monthly retainer for businesses that want a trusted advisor available on an ongoing basis. For vendor decisions, project oversight, strategic planning, and the questions that come up along the way.

Systems Audit

A fixed-fee engagement scoped to your business. You'll know the cost before we start.

What's included

Structured interviews with you and key team members, a review of your current tools and integrations, and an assessment of your data flows and reporting.

What you get

A clear written report — not a slide deck full of buzzwords. Findings are prioritised by impact so you know what to tackle first.

Who it's for

Businesses that feel like something is broken but aren't sure what, or that are about to make a significant technology investment and want an independent view first.

Typical timeline

Most audits are completed within two to three weeks from kickoff, depending on the size and complexity of your operation.

Ongoing Advisory

A small monthly retainer for businesses that want consistent access to independent technology advice.

A trusted advisor in your corner

Technology decisions come up constantly. Having someone you can call who knows your business and will give you a straight answer is worth a lot.

Vendor and procurement support

Evaluating new software? About to sign a contract? I help you ask the right questions, spot the red flags, and negotiate from a position of knowledge.

Project oversight

If you're running a technology implementation, I can help you stay in control — keeping vendors accountable and making sure the project actually delivers.

Monthly, no lock-in

Retainers are month-to-month. I'd rather earn your business every month than lock you into a contract.
