Strategic advisory for OKC Oklahoma businesses in the $1M to $20M range and family companies. An operator in your corner who stays until the work is done, not a consultant who leaves after the report.
Oklahoma City's business community runs across energy, construction, healthcare, professional services, and a growing tech sector. What many of these businesses share is a common gap: the owner is making major decisions without a trusted senior operator in the room. A business advisor fills that role on an ongoing basis.
Annual and multi-year planning that connects your OKC business's goals to specific operational and financial targets you can actually track.
Understanding what your numbers mean and what to do about them, not just what happened last quarter.
A clear-eyed look at how your business actually runs, where it leaks, and what needs to change first.
Finding the real constraint on growth in your OKC market and removing it before it costs another year of revenue.
Building the business a buyer wants to own or a family can carry forward, starting well before the conversation.
A trusted operator available for decisions throughout the year, not just at annual planning time.
You built it. Now it has outgrown your ability to run it alone. You need a trusted operator who knows the Oklahoma City market and can help carry the load.
OKC's energy corridor creates specific financial and operational challenges. Commodity cycles, working capital swings, and project-based cash flow require someone who understands the industry.
Passing the business to the next generation, planning an exit, or navigating a partner change. These moments require more than lawyers and accountants.
Revenue has flattened, margins are compressing, something is wrong and you are not sure what. A senior advisor who has seen this pattern in OKC businesses can find it fast.
Exit readiness starts 2 to 3 years before the transaction. The OKC businesses that exit on their terms started preparing well in advance.
You have proven the model and are ready to grow. The systems, team structure, and financial infrastructure to support that growth need to be built before the growth arrives.
Energy services, construction, healthcare, professional services, manufacturing, and family businesses across most industries. OKC's economy is varied and so is the client base. The strategic and operational challenges of a $5M OKC business are more similar across industries than most people expect.
A management consultant typically brings a team, runs a defined project, delivers a report, and leaves. A business advisor is engaged on an ongoing basis, is accountable for helping you act on the advice, and stays involved through implementation. The relationship is closer to a trusted partner than a hired expert.
Scissortail Fractional is based in Edmond, 15 minutes from downtown Oklahoma City. For most advisory work, physical location is not a limiting factor. In-person meetings in OKC are available and common.
Generally companies between $1M and $20M in revenue. Past the startup phase, not yet large enough for a full bench of senior executives. The common thread is a founder or family making major decisions without a senior operator in their corner.
A free 30-minute call. You tell me about your business and where you are stuck. I will tell you honestly whether this is a fit and what working together would look like.
No pitch. No deck. An honest conversation about where your business is and whether Scissortail is the right fit.
