Fractional Online Business Manager with expertise in operational clarity.
What I'm looking for
I am a Fractional Online Business Manager and Strategic Backend Architect with nearly two decades of experience transforming chaos into operational clarity. I specialize in untangling messy systems, aligning moving parts, and building backend workflows that silently power growth. From MSPs to SaaS firms, I partner with founders and executives who need more than a VA—they need an operational co-pilot. My approach is tailored, avoiding copy-paste strategies and bloated SOPs, ensuring that the backend ecosystems I create are efficient and scalable.
Throughout my career, I have operated as a VP's right hand in finance operations and vendor relations, leading proposal-to-payment cycles and enhancing financial reporting accuracy by 40%. My expertise extends to managing complex operations across various sectors, including tech and service-based businesses. I am currently expanding my skill set in digital marketing and no-code automation tools to integrate financial, CRM, and delivery systems into unified client experiences.
