You searched 'fractional COO near me' for a reason
You built the company. But now it feels like you are running a machine that keeps breaking. Operations are reactive, not strategic. Growth has plateaued. Your team looks to you for every decision. You need a fractional COO who embeds with your team — not another remote advisor who checks in once a month. Todd Murphy works from Omaha, Nebraska, and serves founders locally at Catalyst Ct and nationally. No pitch deck. No junior associate assigned to your account. Just an experienced operator who builds the system alongside you.
Most consultants hand you a plan. We hand you execution, an operating system for success.
The GoScale Partners Operating System prioritizes doing over debating. Here is how we move from conversation to operational results — whether you are across town or across the country.
Diagnostic deep dive
We spend the first two weeks inside your operations, not your conference room. No slides, just listening and observing.
Build the system
We design workflows, decision frameworks, and reporting rhythms that replace chaos with repeatable structure.
Execute alongside you
No handoff. We stay in the trenches with your team for the first 90 days to make sure the system actually sticks.
Hand off and audit
Once the system runs itself, we step back into a scheduled review cadence. You own the machine; we tune it.

The businesses that work with us see clearer strategy, better execution, and measurable results. Here is what a few founders have said about working with an Omaha-based fractional COO.
Todd brought structure to our scaling process that we didn't know we needed. Within six months, our operating rhythm was tighter and our team was aligned on what actually mattered.
Mark Sullivan
CEO, Midwest Media Monitoring
The Vettara assessment showed me blind spots in how I was spending my time as founder. That alone changed how I prioritize. It was worth the hour.
Priya Kapoor
Founder, Kapoor Analytics
We brought Todd in for MIPO work and ended up restructuring our entire delivery process. The clients noticed the difference before we even announced it.
David Hartley
VP of Operations, Precision PR Insights
As a solo entrepreneur, I needed someone who understood the pressure of being the final decision maker on everything. Todd gave me perspective and a framework I still use weekly.

Fractional COO near me — common questions from Omaha founders
Straight answers to the questions we hear most from founders searching for a fractional COO in their area.
What exactly does a fractional COO deliver?
A structured operating system for your business. You get a documented strategy, clear team accountabilities, monthly progress reviews, and a repeatable process for scaling — without hiring a full-time executive.
How is this different from a business coach or consultant?
A consultant delivers a report and leaves. A fractional COO works inside your business week to week — implementing the systems, running the meetings, and holding the team accountable for results.
What kind of companies benefit most from a fractional COO near me?
Companies with 5 to 50 employees that have outgrown the founder-as-operator model. The founder knows the product but needs someone to run the day-to-day so they can focus on the business, not in it.
How long does a typical fractional COO engagement last?
Most engagements run 6 to 12 months. Some companies need ongoing support as they scale. We start with a 90-day operational audit to identify the highest-impact changes, then build from there. Todd works on-site with Omaha-area companies and remotely with national clients.
How do we know if a fractional COO is the right move?
If you are spending more time putting out fires than growing the business, it is worth a conversation. We can start with a founder assessment through Vettara to identify where the gaps are — or begin directly with a GoScale Partners fractional COO engagement. Either path starts with one honest conversation.
What does a fractional COO cost compared to a full-time hire?
A fractional COO typically costs 40-60% less than a full-time COO salary, plus no benefits, no equity, and no long-term commitment. Pricing depends on scope and engagement length. We provide a transparent proposal after the initial discovery call — no hidden fees, no upsells.
