Fractional IT Leadership for Small Businesses
Your business has IT staff — maybe one, maybe a few — handling the day-to-day. But someone still needs to be thinking ahead: planning the budget, catching aging systems before they fail, and making sure vendor contracts aren't quietly costing you more than they should. That's where I come in. I work as a fractional IT director for small businesses, giving your team the strategic direction they need without the cost of a full-time hire.
Who This is For:
Businesses with 1-8 IT staff who are great at keeping things running day-to-day — but missing someone to steer the bigger picture:
- No one setting direction — Budget and planning happen reactively, not strategically
- Aging tech going unaddressed — Nobody's watching for what needs replacing
- Vendor relationships unmanaged — Contracts renew without anyone checking if they still make sense
What I Do:
- Budgeting — Building realistic IT budgets tied to what your business actually needs, not guesswork.
- Forward Planning — Getting ahead of problems instead of reacting to them, with a real technology roadmap.
- Legacy Tech — Identifying and addressing aging systems and hardware before they become emergencies.
- Vendor Management — Reviewing contracts, renewals, and pricing so you're not left negotiating IT purchases alone.
How Engagements Work:
- Hourly / As-Needed — Flexible support with no long-term commitment.
- 3-Month Retainer — A flat monthly rate for consistent, ongoing involvement.
- 5-Month Retainer — A scaled rate that starts lower while I learn your systems, then adjusts once I'm fully up to speed.
- Annual Retainer — Our best rate, for businesses ready to commit to the long haul once we've found our rhythm together.
