Fractional Leadership for Painting Companies

A fractional COO and CFO for your painting company, with skin in the game.

You can’t justify a full-time CFO, COO or recruiting team yet. Aleph puts a big-company leadership bench to work inside your business for a fraction of what it would cost to hire them. We’re partners, not consultants. We only make money when you do.

The Execution Gap

You don’t need more advice. You need the work done.

Every hire, every bid and every problem lands on your desk. Step away and the business stalls. You can’t justify a CFO, a COO or a recruiting team yet, so the gaps stay open and growth stays stuck.

With so many resources available to painting companies — conferences, podcasts, coaching programs, and vendors — why aren’t there more $10M+ businesses? We don’t believe there’s a knowledge gap. We believe there’s an execution gap.

A fractional COO or CFO who sends you a report and a to-do list doesn’t close that gap. People who pick up the work and carry it with you do.

Your New Bench

A big-company leadership team, working inside yours.

We don’t advise from the sidelines. These people embed with you and your team and do the work, week after week, for a fraction of what it would cost to hire them.

01

CEO

Strategy, accountability and leadership development, building the leaders your company needs to scale.

02

CFO

Annual budgets, KPI tracking, compensation plans, monthly reconciliations and tax prep, handled with precision.

03

COO

We lead, manage and hold the team accountable, with production coaches who make operations run like a well-oiled machine.

04

Recruiting

Finding and launching the people you need, from new sales staff to the key management roles.

05

Marketing

A hands-on team that manages your marketing strategy and puts every dollar toward high-ROI growth.

06

Development team

Our own senior developers, building Wallogy (our ERP) as living software that keeps your business on the front of technology.

The Team Behind the Bench

Vested management, in every discipline.

Our team fills the gaps across every function it takes to scale — bringing 8-figure infrastructure to your business from day one.

01

Fractional Integration

04

Operations

Production coaches who train new staff, launch operational programs, provide fractional coordination support and host national training sessions, so production consistently delivers target margins.

05

Sales Leadership

Launch training for new sales staff, national sales masterminds, and certified field coaching to develop sales reps for success.

06

Marketing

A hands-on team that actively manages every aspect of the marketing strategy, focused on high-ROI marketing and continuously tracking and optimizing campaigns.

Partners, Not Consultants

A coach advises on the work. A partner does the work with you.

The difference is skin in the game. There is a natural limit to how much skin in the game a service provider has. We make money the same way our partners do, so our incentives are fully aligned.

Coaches & Consultants

  • Advise on what work is needed
  • A service provider, with a natural limit to its skin in the game
  • Add knowledge: programs, podcasts, conferences

Aleph Ventures

  • Steps into key management roles and does the work
  • An equity partner that makes money the same way you do
  • Closes the execution gap, week after week
We Do the Work

Yoke up.

We don’t operate as advisors on the sidelines. We embed with our partners and their teams to drive execution. From weekly one-on-ones and team meetings to field coaching and financial trending, we engage in the consistent, week-by-week work that turns plans into results.

One ox strains; two, yoked together, move the load. That’s why our partner retreats look the way they do: our management team getting together with our partners and leading the sessions on sales, leadership and recruiting.

FAQ

Questions about working with us

How is Aleph different from a coaching company?
The key difference between a coaching company and a Joint Venture partnership with Aleph can be summarized as follows: Skin In The Game. There is just a natural limit to how much skin in the game a service provider has, as opposed to an equity partner. We make money the same way our partners do and thus have fully aligned incentives. This often means Aleph will step into key management roles and do the work required to help scale the business, not simply advise on what work is needed. In light of that, our level of partnership is comparably more robust and deeper in the tools, infrastructure, and level of engagement.
How does Aleph make money through these partnerships?
Aleph makes its money the same way that the founding partner does: 1) through compensation for the time, energy, and resources that Aleph supplies to the business, and 2) through distributions of the net income of the business.
Who makes the decisions in the partnership?
Most owners who partner with Aleph do so because they desire more input on their business decisions and therefore value a partner who could help. That said, Aleph’s Joint Venture partnerships are set up as “manager managed” entities and the founding partner is named as the manager. This creates a legal structure where the founder retains their autonomy to make business decisions.
Ready When You Are

Let’s build something durable.

If you’ve built a great brand and a durable team, we should talk. No exit clock. No strip-and-flip. Just partners who yoke up and stay.
