Steady Operations Retainer

Service Description

What This Is If you need more capacity for strategic and revenue-generating work, but hiring full-time staff is not the right move, this retainer provides steady operational support behind the scenes. This partnership focuses on keeping priorities visible, coordinating moving parts, and ensuring decisions turn into consistent action over time. It creates operational continuity without expanding payroll or increasing your management load. ⸻ What I Help With I support day-to-day operations so work runs smoothly and deadlines are not missed. This often includes: • Tracking active projects, recurring responsibilities, or core areas of work • Turning decisions into clear tasks and next steps • Monitoring deadlines, reporting cycles, renewals, or compliance timelines • Keeping documents, trackers, and records organized • Coordinating with team members, contractors, volunteers, or partners • Sending regular updates on progress and priorities • Noticing issues early and raising them before they become urgent The goal is simple: fewer dropped balls and more room for you to focus on high-impact work. ⸻ How We Work This is steady, ongoing support, not last-minute help. • Responsibilities are clearly defined at the start • One shared system is used to track work • We meet briefly on a regular schedule • I handle tracking, follow-up, and organization between check-ins I support structure and follow-through, not decision-making or people management. ⸻ What This Is Not This retainer does not include: • Building brand-new systems from scratch • Major tech setup or software overhauls • Managing staff, finances, or business decisions • On-call or emergency support Larger rebuilds or structural changes are scoped separately. ⸻ Retainer Options One Core Area – $1,100/month Keeps one clearly defined area of responsibility organized and moving. Multi-Area Support – $1,800/month Supports two related areas of ongoing work with coordination and follow-through. Embedded Support – from $2,700/month Hands-on operational support for up to three core areas with deeper involvement and ongoing continuity.
