Straight answers, no consulting-speak. If your question isn't here, the answer is probably "ask me on a 30-minute call — it's free."
Owners of pest, lawn, HVAC, and contracting businesses — usually somewhere between $1M and $15M in revenue. People who are wearing too many hats and want senior operations help that fits their budget.
I don't work with VC-backed startups, agencies, or e-commerce. The lane is the trades — and within that, the people who actually own the company and answer the phone.
Probably yes, if your numbers are healthy. The Light Monthly tier ($500/mo) and The Workshop are sized for smaller operators. Below ~$500K in revenue, I'd usually point you toward bookkeeping discipline and a couple of YouTube channels before paying for a consultant.
Probably. Above that, you start needing a real full-time COO and your problems are different. I'll tell you that on the first call.
Thirty minutes, free, no slide deck. I ask about the business — what's eating your time, what's bleeding cash, what would change if you could take a week off. I listen more than I talk.
By the end I'll tell you whether I think I can help, what I'd recommend, and what it would cost — or I'll tell you I'm not the right fit. Either way, you'll have a recommendation in hand.
I do. There's no junior team, no delivery associate, no offshore subcontractor. You hired me, I do the work. That's the whole shape of the business.
No. Monthly retainers are month-to-month. Projects are scoped and quoted up front. If we're not working together well, you cancel — I'd rather know early than drag it out.
Yes — that's the design. Start with a workshop, add a Light Monthly afterwards. Do a project, hire me as a fractional COO once it ships. Subscribe to Ando Finance now and bring me in to scope a build later. The offers are modular on purpose.
The full sheet is on the pricing page, but the short version:
Light Monthly from $500/mo · Hands-On Monthly from $1,250/mo · The Workshop from $2,000/day · The Project from $2,500/project · Ando Finance $99/mo or scoped per build.
Because I'm one person, I don't have a downtown office, I don't have a sales team, and I'm not trying to get rich on consulting. The price reflects the actual cost to deliver real senior help — not the cost of a brand.
The prices on the site are already the discount. They're built for an owner's budget, not a corporate budget. The honest answer is that I'd rather keep prices low and steady than negotiate them on every deal.
I'll tell you on the first call. I'd rather lose a sale than take on work I can't do well. If I know someone who's a better fit, I'll introduce you.
That's the most common starting point. Book the call. Worst case, you spend 30 minutes and confirm you're tired and don't need a consultant — that's a useful answer too.
Fine. I send a quiet, occasional Insights note when I publish something. Read those, sit with it, come back when you're ready. No follow-up sales calls.
Thirty minutes, free, no sales pitch. If your question isn't on this page, it almost certainly came up before — I'll have an honest answer.
