The fractional executive team for owner-operated businesses doing $1M–$25M a year.
Finance, marketing and operations, handled by one team that reports to you once a month in plain English. You keep running the work.
Invoices go out late, so cash comes in late. Marketing happens when you remember. The phone rings and nobody owns what happens next. Hiring is a fire drill every time.
Most owners patch it together: a bookkeeper here, an agency there, a nephew who's good with computers. Five vendors, five invoices, and you're still the one holding it all together.
Clay James Group replaces the patchwork with one team. Finance, marketing and operations, working on your business together and answering to you.
Every engagement starts with whichever one is costing you the most right now.
Accounting & Finance
Know your numbers, and get your money in faster.
Sales & Marketing
Show up when people search, and turn the calls into jobs.
AI & Organization
Systems that run without you standing over them.
Not sure which pillar comes first? That's what the first call is for.
A short conversation about your business: what's working, what isn't, and what you want it to look like in two years. We'll tell you straight whether we can help.
We review your Google presence, marketing, books and operations, and show you where leads and cash are leaking.
Priorities in order, a defined scope, and a price. You know exactly what you're getting before anything starts.
We do the work. Every month you get a plain-English report: what we did, what it produced, and what's next.
You're the owner. You could still do every job yourself, and some days you do. You have a crew, a fleet or a warehouse, and a back office that grew faster than the systems behind it.
Also electricians, roofers, pool and pest companies, and any main-street operator who has outgrown the spreadsheet.
Finance, marketing and operations in the same room. The person doing your books knows what the ad spend is for, and the ops plan fits the cash you actually have.
You call one person who knows your whole business. Not a ticket queue, not three account managers.
A plain-English summary of what we did and what it produced. Numbers you'll actually read, not a dashboard you log into once.
Call or email and we'll reply within one business day. Tell us what's getting in the way, and we'll tell you straight whether we can help.
We use your details only to reply to you. Privacy policy.
