Nick Tapia • Contractor Operations
I have run a contracting business and I have built technical systems. I am not selling crap software. I build processes that make your business run better.
I like to give you back your time. I do this so good contractors can focus on the work and the customer, while the business stops eating nights and weekends. The ways I like to help:
Get you away from irritating, repetitive paper work. I automate as much as possible.
Smooth out your business operations. I map the business flow and fix the holes.
Plan for problems. This prevents emergencies that are money and time sinks.
Improve internal communications. I help write standards and operations manuals so people know what to do.
So you know I'm not blowing smoke. You can take a look at the case studies if you like.
Got it systematized so the original owner could take 2 weeks off without everything falling apart.

Made it profitable, busy, and hands off.

Contractors. Usually shops of 3 to 20 people. You have enough work, but you want the business to run with fewer issues.
Not a fit if:
Aside from a few of my own businesses... I've worked at JPMC in cyber security. I've done mapping and data cleaning work at startups. I'm currently based in Anchorage and I still do some hands on work when I volunteer at Habitat for Humanity or help my parents with some problem they might have.
$750 to $1,500
Flat fee. I'll map your business, find the leaks, build a fix it plan.
$1,500 to $4,000/mo
Monthly retainer for steady improvements without re-scoping.

Depends on what you want done.
Most contractors start with diagnostic. Retainer is for businesses that want this completely off their plate. Single issue is for people who want *one* thing.
Remote. BUT, I'll come to you anywhere in the USA if you pay for the flight, hotel, and show me a good time.
