Tracy B.
Construction Ops Expert | Fractional COO | M&A + Business Intermediary
I provide management consulting, operational leadership, and transaction support for construction, service, and industrial companies. My work focuses on structure, accountability, efficiency, and financial clarity. I help owners tighten operations, reduce waste, control costs, and prepare their companies for scale or for a future ownership transition. My background is rooted in operations. I strengthen job costing, refine change order processes, streamline communication between field and office, and build workflows that are predictable and easy to manage. I focus on simple, durable systems that improve performance and remove friction from day-to-day work. Along with operational consulting, I serve as a business intermediary for contractors and industrial firms. I prepare companies for sale, organize financials, develop valuations, build CIMs, coordinate buyer outreach, and support the due diligence process. The value I bring to transactions is operational insight. I understand how these companies run, how they earn money, and where the real risks and strengths are. That perspective informs every step of the process. I have founded multiple companies and served in senior leadership roles, including CEO and COO. I understand both the operational demands inside a contracting business and the expectations of buyers, investors, and lenders. I also bring experience with CRM and ERP implementation, financial benchmarking, and performance management, giving companies a stronger platform for scale and decision making.
