No More ‘Going At It Alone’. You Now Have a Strategic Team In Your Corner.
Strategic Leadership & Operational Excellence From an Outside-the-Box Collective
What We Do
BonBon Strategic provides fractional COO services and strategic operations support - but we're not limited to what one person can deliver. Through our curated Collective of fractional leaders and vertical experts, we can scale support to match your exact needs, whether that's financial operations, HR systems, marketing infrastructure, or technology implementation.
We start with diagnosis,
then architect solutions, before deploying the right team to execute.
How We Work
We offer three ways to work with us, depending on what you need:
❶ Founder Freedom Diagnostic
Your Fast-Track to Clarity
The Founder Freedom Diagnostic reveals exactly what's pulling you into the weeds and what needs to change first. Unlike traditional business assessments, the FFD focuses on your personal plate as the founder.
What You Get:
Two focused 1:1 virtual sessions (60-90 minutes each)
You answer structured questions - the synthesis is done for you
A clear, actionable report showing:
Founder role clarity (what you own vs. what you need to delegate)
Visual Time Allocation Analysis explaining where your time is reclaimable
Key constraints and recurring patterns
Focused 30/60/90 roadmap showing what to change first
The Diagnostic stands on its own - for some founders, the clarity is enough
For others, it becomes the foundation for deeper operational work
Perfect for: Founders who need immediate clarity on where their time goes and what to tackle first - without a major time or financial commitment.
Process: Two virtual sessions. No prep. No pressure. No pre-commitment.
Investment starting at:
Solopreneur: $1000
Business Owner with Team: $3000
❷ 360° Business Assessment
The Full Operational Deep Dive
For founders facing high-stakes decisions - scaling, exit planning, succession, M&A, or major operational pivots - the 360° Business Assessment gives you complete visibility into what's working, what's broken, and exactly what to fix.
What You Get:
Full two-day, on-site strategic deep dive - available across the US and Canada (we're based in New Orleans but travel to you)
1:1 leadership interviews + complete floor/operations walkthrough
Comprehensive review of systems, team structure, tech stack, and expenses to identify drag and bloat
Custom operational roadmap including:
What's working and what's in the way
Smart changes that save time, stress, and overhead
Prioritized action plan built for your current reality
A no-BS plan you can execute - whether you hire us or not
Perfect for: Founders facing scaling issues, excessive turnover, burnout, M&A/exit planning, succession planning, or high-stakes operational decisions.
Process: Starts with a 20-minute intro call, followed by a discovery session to customize the assessment scope.
Investment: Custom pricing based on business size and complexity.
❸ Fractional COO Engagement
Your Embedded Operations Team
For founders ready to offload day-to-day operations and scale with structure, we become an extension of your leadership team - handling strategic planning, process optimization, team development, and execution.
How It Works:
Month 1: Deep Dive & Quick Wins
We conduct a comprehensive assessment of your operations, identify immediate fires, prioritize solutions, and start taking tasks off your plate from day one.
Ongoing: Strategic Cadence + Execution Weekly alignment calls to manage projects, set priorities, and maintain accountability. Monthly strategic sessions to realign and plan ahead. Daily access via Slack/email for real-time support.
As You Scale: The Collective Activates When you need specialized expertise - financial operations, HR infrastructure, marketing systems, technology implementation - we pull in the right partner from our Collective. You stay working with Kate as your strategic anchor, while specialized operators handle execution in their domain.
You Get:
Strategic leadership (Kate) who diagnoses, architects, and oversees quality
Operational execution (Core Team + Collective) who handle implementation, deliverables, accountability, and day-to-day flow
One integrated team - no hand-offs, no gaps, no managing multiple contractors
Perfect for: Service-based businesses doing $2M+ annually with a small team already in place, where the founder is stuck in operations and needs to reclaim strategic bandwidth. We work with clients across the US and Canada, with on-site capabilities when needed. Based in New Orleans, but fully equipped to support remote and hybrid engagements.
Process: Starts with a 20-minute intro call to assess fit, followed by a 60-minute complimentary discovery session where we demonstrate value and propose solutions.
Investment Options: Flat-rate, retainer, or shared-risk partnerships tailored to your business model.
Not Sure Which Option Is Right for You?
Start here: Most founders begin with the Founder Freedom Diagnostic to get immediate clarity, then either implement on their own or engage us for deeper support. If you're facing a major strategic decision (exit, M&A, succession), the 360° Business Assessment is your starting point. If you already know you need ongoing operational support, let's talk about an fCOO engagement.
