Running a small business is rewarding… and relentless. You’re the strategist, the leader, the operator. One moment you’re defacto HR resolving personnel issues, the next you’re meeting with clients. Eventually, juggling everything alone becomes more of a liability than a strength. Growth demands structure, and structure demands leadership. That’s where MKC Insights comes in.
A fractional executive is a seasoned leader who joins your business on a part-time or project basis. MKC Insights focuses on two key pillars of business health and scale: operational leadership (COO) and human capital strategy (CHRO). Every engagement is tailored, and your support model is based on your needs. Services are most commonly delivered through a monthly retainer model and hourly based. On occasion, additional special projects are also scoped and priced.
Step 1: Discovery
We begin by understanding your business along with what’s working, what’s not, and where you want to go. From there we define directions, objectives, and next steps, and a support structure aligned to your goals. Depending on the size and complexity of the company this could range anywhere from 10-30 hours for a business of under $10M in revenue and 30-80 hours for a business under $50-100M in revenue.
Step 2: Choose Your Support Structure
Based on your needs, we align on the right structure and cadence to help you move forward. Scalable retainer options are available based on your business size, complexity, and stage of growth:
MKC Advisor | 10+ hours/month

This flexible engagement provides executive guidance, a trusted sounding board, and support for targeted initiatives or key decisions. Ideal for founders, CEOs, or leadership teams looking for insight, clarity, and momentum on critical priorities.
MKC Partner | 20+ hours/month
For companies seeking steady executive support without a full-time commitment. This engagement typically includes participation in leadership meetings, strategic advisement, and oversight of critical initiatives. Ideal for organizations that need consistent guidance to maintain momentum, drive accountability, and support senior decision-making.
MKC Embedded | 40+ hours/month
For businesses ready to embed a seasoned leader into their daily operations. This level of engagement includes hands-on support with staff and vendor oversight, project ownership, and weekly strategic touchpoints with executives.
