What we're about
At ClearNorth Operations Services, we believe small, purpose-led businesses deserve the same clarity, structure, and insights that big organisations rely on — without the cost or complexity.
ClearNorth was founded after years of working in operations, data, and business growth roles. Time and again, I saw founders stuck in the same cycle: buried in admin, struggling to get clear data, and too busy firefighting to think about scaling. I knew there had to be a better way.
That’s why we help SMEs simplify processes, quantify performance, and scale sustainably. We combine hands-on fixes with strategic guidance - from streamlining everyday operations, to building dashboards you can trust, to stepping in as a fractional ops leader when you need senior support.
Our services are built for founder-led SMEs who want to grow with purpose, run more smoothly, and make confident decisions — all without hiring a full-time exec team.
What we do
Ops Tune Up
Streamlined processes. Quick wins.
For founders and leaders who feel their business is running on sticky tape and good intentions. A short, focused sprint to streamline your core operations. We’ll map how things actually work today, simplify your processes, and set up quick-win fixes so your team saves hours each week.
Monthly Retainer & Fractional Roles
Senior support, flexible scope. Leadership without the overhead.
For founders and leaders who need embedded senior operations leadership - without hiring a full-time exec. An external partnership that gives you senior operational support without adding to your org chart. Flexible and responsive, it’s designed to give founders clarity, fixes, and insights as the business grows. A part-time senior operator embedded in your business with a defined role and accountability. You get the authority and focus of a COO, Head of Ops, or Head of MI - without the cost of a full-time hire.
Insights & Analytics Kickstart
From data to direction.
For founders and leaders who are flying blind without a clear view of their numbers. A practical starter package for management information (MI) and business intelligence (BI). We’ll pull together your most important data into one simple dashboard space, so you know exactly what’s happening in your business at a glance.
AI Adoption Essentials
Artificial intelligence, intelligently applied.
For founders and leaders who are curious about AI but want a clear, practical starting point - cutting through the hype to adopt it safely, ethically, and in ways that deliver real business value. AI is everywhere right now - but most SMEs don’t know where to start, and the hype often drowns out what’s actually useful. We help you cut through the noise, explore real opportunities, and adopt AI in a way that’s practical, safe, and purpose-led.
