vCTO: Virtual Chief Technology Officer
For small businesses making technology decisions without a technical leader.
Most small businesses make their biggest technology decisions with no one in the room who can judge them. You end up choosing between vendors who are all selling, with nobody on your side of the table. This is that person, part time.
From $2,500/month Month to month. Advisory only, and you can cancel any time.What is included
Technology strategy
Which systems and software actually fit how you work, and which vendor to pick. You get a straight recommendation and the reasoning behind it, rather than a sales pitch.
An IT plan you can budget against
What needs doing, in what order, and roughly what it costs. Including what can safely wait, which is usually more than people expect.
AI adoption planning
Where AI is worth the money for your business and where it is not, tied directly into the automation packages. If an AI Front Desk would pay for itself and a custom build would not, you hear that.
Someone in the room for the big calls
When a decision has both a technical and a commercial side, you have someone who speaks both and has no stake in which vendor wins.
How it works
- A free 20 minute fit call. We work out whether you need this yet. Plenty of businesses do not.
- One monthly price. Agreed in writing, month to month.
- Regular sessions, plus availability when a decision comes up between them.
This is advisory work, not an on-call service and not a help desk. If your main need is security rather than technology direction, that is the vCISO, and the two are often taken together.
Sold on its own, and it also sits behind every fixed-price package: the same person advising you is the one building your automation.
