Is growth making your agency harder to run?
You are not doing it wrong. Most agencies grow faster than their operations. It usually sounds like this:
- “Every decision still comes to me.”Your team waits for you, and you work more hours every month.
- “Best month ever. So why is the bank account empty?”Revenue goes up, but the cash does not follow it.
- “We hire, but work does not get faster.”Each new person needs your time. Without clear roles, more people means more confusion.
- “I do not know our real margin.”You only learn which clients make money after the month is closed.
Four complaints, one cause: your agency has outgrown the way it is run. That can be fixed.
- $4,200a month in hidden costs at a 25-person agency. That is $50,400 a year.
- $150Ktied up in unpaid invoices when $100K of monthly revenue sits on 45-day terms.
- 71 daysof cash at an agency that felt comfortable with $90K in the bank.
Real client results. These costs repeat every month, and they grow with every new hire.

Your agency, running without you in every detail
You do not get a report to read. You get a hands-on head of operations inside your team, without the full-time hire, who builds what is missing until the work runs without you.

I’m Sapir. I run operations so founders can grow.
I work with marketing agencies as a fractional head of operations, remotely and primarily in English. I have 10+ years across operations, finance, a venture studio and e-commerce.
Eleven roles across the military, finance, a venture studio building startups in tech, fintech, proptech and Web3, and e-commerce.
A non-linear career is the advantage. The same problems look different from each seat, and most growth problems sit between two of them.
I’m a nomad and I work alone. Your business gets me, not a team of juniors.

Questions founders ask before booking
What does a fractional head of operations do?
A fractional head of operations builds the systems and processes your business can run on by itself, then puts them in place with your team. You get senior operations leadership without a full-time salary, benefits, the headaches of hiring or a long-term commitment. You can end it at any time, no questions asked.
Why hire a person when AI can do this?
AI is one of the tools I use, and I set it up for you wherever it saves time. But a tool does not decide which problem to fix first, get a team to change how it works, or answer for the result. I do. You get the automation and someone who owns the outcome.
How is this different from hiring a consultant?
A consultant gives advice. I do the work. I join your team, build the systems with them, and run those systems until they hold.
Is this right for a marketing agency?
Yes. Agencies are where I do my best work. I was CFO at a marketing agency for Shopify brands, where I recovered about $35K from bookkeeping mistakes alone.
Do you work with startups too?
Yes. Startups are home ground for me. I’ve been a solo founder once and a co-founder twice, and I was COO at a venture studio building startups in tech, fintech, proptech and Web3. In total I’ve helped build 28 companies from the ground up.
What happens on the 30-minute call?
You tell me where growth hurts. I ask a few questions and tell you the first thing I would fix. After the call you get a full written plan: what I would fix, in what order, the targets and the price. It is yours to keep whether or not we work together. No preparation needed.
How fast will I see results?
The first finds usually come early. At one 25-person agency, $50,400 a year in hidden costs was found in the first week of the audit. One client’s cash runway went from 45 to 240 days.
Will this pay for itself?
That is the goal, and your targets are set so it does. The return comes two ways. First, money you stop losing: one 25-person agency was losing $50,400 a year in hidden costs, and another recovered $35K from bookkeeping mistakes alone. Second, money you start making: when decisions stop waiting for you, your time goes back to clients and sales. Rebuilding one marketing engine brought 300% more leads, and partnerships alone raised revenue 50% at another company. Your written plan states the targets, and if I miss one, I keep working on it at no charge until it is hit.
What does it cost?
It depends on what your agency needs, so I set the price after the call. You get a written plan with one flat monthly price and the scope agreed first. No days or hours to count. It runs month to month, and you can end it at any time.
Do we have to change the tools we already use?
No. I work inside the tools your team already uses and connect them to each other where that helps. Nothing gets replaced just because I prefer something else.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. We agree the targets in writing before I start. If I miss one, I keep working on it at no charge until it is hit.
I’m not ready to hire anyone. What can I do now?
Start with the free tools on this page. The runway calculator takes a minute and tells you how many days of cash you have.
Where are you based, and who will I work with?
I work remotely, primarily in English, from wherever I am. You work with me directly.
