Practical Operational Leadership for Businesses Ready to Grow
FBS Consulting delivers fractional executive services across Australia for manufacturers and B2B companies turning over $2M–$40M. The gap between where you are and where you want to be is rarely about strategy — it’s about execution. I embed with your business to build the systems, structure, and capability that turn growth potential into measurable results.
Fractional COO
Operational clarity without the full-time cost
Your business has outgrown how it currently operates. A fractional COO gives you the operational leadership to fix that — embedded inside your business, working alongside your team, without the cost of a full-time hire.
Fractional CRO
Revenue growth without adding headcount
A revenue plateau is rarely a sales problem. It’s usually a systems problem — inconsistent pipeline, no repeatable process, and a founder who is still the primary rainmaker. A fractional CRO builds the commercial infrastructure your business needs to grow revenue predictably.
1-Day Operational Diagnostic
Clarity on what’s holding your business back — in a single day
Not sure whether you need fractional support, or where to start? The 1-Day Operational Diagnostic gives you an independent, experienced assessment of your business operations — without the commitment of a full engagement.
In one focused day I work through your operations, systems, team structure, and commercial function to identify your highest-impact constraints. You leave with a clear picture of where the friction is, what it’s costing you, and a prioritised roadmap for addressing it.
For many business owners this is the most valuable day they invest in their business all year. For others it becomes the foundation for a full transformation engagement.
Investment: approximately $2,000-$2,500. Applicable as a credit toward a full engagement if you choose to proceed.
Pre-Sale Readiness Audit
Maximise your exit value before you go to market
Most business owners start thinking about operational readiness six weeks before they want to list. By then, the window to fix the things that erode sale price has already closed.
The Pre-Sale Readiness Audit is designed for owners who are 6–18 months from a potential exit and want to go to market in the strongest possible position. I conduct a comprehensive operational audit across 14 areas of your business — the same areas a serious buyer’s due diligence team will examine — and identify the gaps that will either kill a deal or reduce your valuation.
You receive a plain-English audit report with a prioritised remediation plan, and the option to engage me to lead the remediation work before you list.
The businesses that command premium valuations are the ones that look like they don’t need to be sold. This audit helps you get there.
For business owners who have recently completed an acquisition, ask about our Business Acquisition Transition service — a natural next step for embedding operational knowledge and ensuring a smooth handover.
