A business consultant for Broken Arrow is a senior financial and operational advisor who works directly with Broken Arrow founders and business owners — across healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and professional services. Scissortail Fractional serves Broken Arrow businesses in the $1M to $20M range with no junior staff and no handoffs.
Broken Arrow is one of Oklahoma's most economically active cities, with significant concentration in healthcare practices, manufacturing operations, retail businesses, and professional services firms. Most Broken Arrow businesses in the $1M to $15M range are founder-led and have outgrown their current financial and operational infrastructure. Scissortail Fractional provides fractional CFO and COO services to Broken Arrow business owners who need senior leadership capacity without a full-time executive hire — working directly with you in Broken Arrow, not delegating to junior staff.
An honest look at where the business is, what is working, what is not, and what needs to change first. Not a 60-page report. A clear prioritized action list.
Understanding the financial picture, the real margins, the cash position, the leaks, and what the numbers are actually saying about the health of the business.
Walking through how the business actually operates, where the friction is, where time and money are being lost, and what systems are missing.
Connecting where you want the business to go with the operational and financial actions required to get there, in a realistic timeframe with real milestones.
Staying involved through the hard part. Most consultants leave after the recommendations. Scissortail stays until the work is done.
For businesses that want a trusted outside perspective on a continuing basis, not just a one-time engagement.
Revenue has stalled, margins are compressing, or the business just feels harder than it should. A good consultant diagnoses the real problem, not the presenting symptom.
Major capital, hiring, or strategic decisions made without reliable financial and operational data are how businesses get into trouble. Consulting helps you see clearly before you commit.
When you have been running the same business for years, it is hard to see it clearly. An outside operator who has been inside enough businesses to recognize patterns adds real value.
A sale, a succession, a partner change, or a significant expansion. These moments benefit enormously from a senior operator who has navigated them before.
The business is growing but the leadership capacity and systems have not kept pace. Consulting bridges the gap until the organization can support what the growth requires.
The distinction between a consultant who delivers recommendations and one who stays through implementation is the difference between a report and a result.
A business consultant analyzes the current state of a business, identifies the most important problems or opportunities, and helps the owner take action on them. The best ones do not just deliver reports — they stay involved through implementation and are accountable for outcomes.
Traditional consulting firms bring teams of analysts and produce lengthy reports. Scissortail Fractional is a single senior operator who works directly with you. No junior staff, no hand-offs, no firm overhead built into the rate. You get the same person in every meeting.
Generally companies between $1M and $20M in annual revenue. Past the startup phase, not yet large enough for a full bench of senior executives. The sweet spot is an established operating business that needs senior operational and financial perspective without a full-time hire.
It depends on the scope. A focused operational or financial assessment can be a 4 to 8 week engagement. An ongoing advisory relationship runs month to month. Fractional COO or CFO engagements often run 6 to 18 months. We figure out what makes sense before anything starts.
Yes. Scissortail Fractional is based in Edmond and serves businesses statewide, including OKC, Tulsa, Norman, Broken Arrow, and beyond. Most consulting work does not require daily physical presence.
