Fractional COO
On-demand operational leadership to optimize systems, improve execution, and support scalable growth.

What is a
Fractional COO?
A Fractional COO is a part-time or project-based operations executive who brings strategic oversight and executional leadership to your business. They work closely with your team to refine systems, lead cross-functional initiatives, and turn your vision into measurable, day-to-day action.
Whether you're scaling fast, experiencing operational bottlenecks, or preparing for investment or exit, a fractional COO helps create the operational backbone your business needs to succeed.
Why Choose a Fractional COO?
Many companies reach a point where founder-led operations limit scale. A Fractional COO brings senior-level expertise to help you systematize your business, manage your team more effectively, and execute consistently—without the commitment or cost of a full-time hire.
At Audax, our COOs are experienced operators who blend strategic thinking with hands-on execution. We help turn chaos into clarity so your business can grow with focus and confidence.
