The Consultant Who
Actually Does the Work

Most consultants hand you a slide deck and disappear. I embed in your business: marketing, finance, systems, and the weekly call where we hold each other accountable.

Fractional CMO · CFO · Business Coach, Tucson AZ

I spent years watching contractors grind: great at their trade, invisible online, undercharging for every job, and burning out because the business side was a second full-time job nobody trained them for. I built 1 of 1 because I was tired of seeing good tradespeople get outcompeted by worse ones with better marketing.

I work with one contractor per trade per market. Not because I'm precious about it. It's the only way I can go all-in. I'm building 1of1 with founding clients right now: real contractors, real systems, real accountability. When results are verified, they go on this page. Until then: book the audit and see the process for yourself.

That's the goal every time. Build it. Teach it. Hand it back. You own the system. I earn the next referral.

What I Actually Do

Most consultants pick one lane. I cover all four because a contractor business is all four problems at once.

01

Fractional CMO

I run your marketing. Content posted, reviews answered, Google presence optimized, GEO visibility built. You focus on the job site.

02

Fractional CFO

I dig into your numbers. QuickBooks cleanup, margin analysis, cash flow forecasting, pricing gaps. You'll know where every dollar goes.

03

Teaching Layer

Every system I build, I teach you. You own it when we're done. No dependency, no black box. Just skills you carry forever.

04

Performance Option

For the right client: I take commission on revenue I generate. I eat what I kill. That's how confident I am in the work.

Who I Work With

Good Fit

  • +Licensed home service contractor (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, GC)
  • +Revenue between $250K–$2M, ready to systematize
  • +Wants recurring revenue, not just more one-off jobs
  • +Shows up, does the work, holds themselves accountable
  • +Open to being taught, not just handed deliverables

Not a Fit

  • Looking for someone to just run ads (that's not the problem)
  • Wants overnight results (this is a 90-day system build)
  • Won't track numbers or do the weekly call
  • Already have a full marketing team (you don't need me)
  • Not licensed in Arizona (for the community network)

The Contractor Network

The retainer is one-on-one. The mastermind is peer-to-peer. Both live inside the 1 of 1 network: a community of licensed Arizona contractors sharing leads, resources, and real talk about running a trades business.

The Lead Board keeps jobs inside the network. The weekly call keeps people accountable. The resource library keeps growing. $49/month gets you in. The free audit gets you started.
