What does a Fractional COO Do?

What Clients are Saying

“Before working with On Call COO, we needed interim leadership support during an active transition period with no clear bandwidth internally to absorb it. Alex stepped in and immediately took ownership of our Client Success team cadence -- running weekly huddles, keeping the team aligned, and managing 1:1s with key staff. She also delivered a clean transition overview before wrapping up, which made handoff seamless. If you need experienced operational or leadership support that can plug in fast and execute without a lot of hand-holding, On Call COO delivers on that. We would recommend them to any firm navigating a similar gap.”

Vin Amalfitano, Director of Operations Financial Services

We were pleased with how quickly Abbie and Alex understood where our issues were, and wasted no time in addressing them. They were efficient and communicative. We feel much readier for the busy season this year.

Norah, CEO - E-Commerce

Over the past year, Abbie has been instrumental in getting this business into real operational shape.. She built out our SOP-driven processes, brought structure and financial discipline to how we run the business, and worked closely with our ops lead to develop him into the strategic Director of Client Operations he is today. Because of that work, he is now fully equipped to own execution and run point on operations going forward.

Chloe, Founder - Logistics & Home Services

Before working with On Call COO, I felt overwhelmed trying to get the knowledge, policies, and processes that lived in my head documented and organized. I knew these resources were essential for growing my business and supporting my team, but finding the time and structure to create them was a challenge.

As a result of our work together, I now have a refreshed onboarding course for new travel advisors joining the the team, along with a strong collection of SOPs that are practical and easy for both me and my advisors to use. These resources have created greater consistency and confidence across the business.

I would recommend speaking with On Call COO to any business owner who needs clarity on where to focus and wants support actually getting important projects completed. They don't just add ideas to your to-do list. They provide the guidance and hands-on help needed to move things forward and get results.
