About us
A very small consultancy for very busy owners.
Tiny Shark Co started with a simple observation: the businesses that hold a mountain town together are usually run by one or two people wearing every hat at once — and there was nobody helping them with the unglamorous half of the job.
How we work
Four things we won't budge on.
Consulting has a reputation problem, and most of it is earned. These are the commitments that keep this business worth hiring.
- Plain language No frameworks with capital letters, no jargon that exists to make an invoice look bigger. If your newest employee can't read it and act on it, it isn't finished.
- Flat, quoted prices You know the number before work starts. No hourly meter running while you think out loud, and no surprise line items at the end of the month.
- You keep everything Templates, documents, and systems are handed over in formats you can edit yourself. The goal is to make this business less necessary to you over time, not more.
- An honest no If your problem is a bookkeeper, an attorney, or a conversation you already know you need to have, we'll say that on the first call instead of selling you a project.
Who we work with
Built for the businesses that hold a small town together.
Owner-operators
You're the boss, the scheduler, the closer, and the person who fixes the printer. You don't need more advice — you need a few things taken off the pile permanently.
Seasonal businesses
Your year is decided by a handful of brutal months. Systems that work in the slow season fall apart in the rush, and there's no time to rebuild them mid-season.
First-time employers
You've just hired your first two or three people and discovered that being a good operator and being a good manager are different jobs with different paperwork.
Buena Vista, Colorado.
Most work happens in person around the Arkansas Valley — Buena Vista, Salida, Leadville, Poncha Springs. Remote engagements are welcome too; plenty of this work happens over email and a shared folder.
Let's find out if this is a fit.
A thirty-minute call, no charge and no pitch. Worst case, you get a clearer picture of what's actually broken.
