How I work with agencies

Who I work with, what I do, and what it costs.

The short version, prices included, so you can rule it in or out without getting on a call.

Who it's for

✓

You own an agency doing roughly 500k to 3m a year in revenue.

✓

You have a team, and most things still end up back with you: sales, delivery, the decisions nobody else will make.

✓

You want out of the day-to-day, and you're willing to change how you spend your own week to get there.

Who it isn't for

✕

Agencies under 500k. You're still building the client base, and it's too early to step back.

✕

Agencies over 3m. You've usually worked this out already.

✕

Anyone who wants someone to run their operations for them. I'm not a fractional COO. I help you build it so you don't need me long term.

What I actually do

I work one-to-one with the owner. We work out what the agency needs from you specifically, and what it doesn't. Then we move the rest off your plate: the right people in the right seats, the systems your team needs to deliver without you, and a clear view of your clients, pricing and margin. Before FlexOps I was the managing director at an agency that grew from 3 to 40 people, and from 500k to 4.5m in annual revenue, in less than three years. Since June 2023 I've worked one-to-one with 50 agency owners.

The three ways in

Agency Health Check

Ten questions, two minutes. You get a score showing where the gaps are and how reliant the agency is on you. I follow up with a 5-minute Loom or a 15 to 20 minute call.

Where most start

Founder Focus Sprint

A 90-minute audit of the agency, a 90-minute strategy workshop, then a written roadmap that we walk through on a call. About 3.5 hours of your time. You leave knowing what you stay involved in, what you don't, and how to get there.

€3,000
One-off. Audit, workshop and roadmap included.
After the sprint

Advisory

We build the roadmap together. A 90-minute working session every fortnight, support between sessions when something blocks you, and a full reset of the plan every quarter.

€2,000 / month
For 6 to 12 months. Or €2,500 a month for 3 months.
What happens first
1

A 45-minute intro call

You tell me what's going on in the agency. I tell you whether I'm the right person for it.

2

A sprint proposal

If it's a fit, I send you one. If it isn't, I'll say so on the call.

3

We start within four weeks

Day one is the audit. You'll have the written roadmap in your hands shortly after.
