“This was my first time working with a Fractional COO and it was an phenomenal experience. As a team, we put together so many SOPs and systems and processes that I had only dreamed about. It wasn’t always easy, there are a gazillion details, but they have a way of bringing calm, confidence, and competence to the table every time!”
— Sara Alvarado, Own It

— Ashante Odogun-Williams, Zinovae
“The support and expertise of LLS is business-altering. It allows me to be and feel extremely supported and to move my business forward without me carrying the full burden. Essie’s oversight has been very, very helpful. The business as a whole feels more well-rounded because of LLS’s strengths.”
