More clarity. More profit. More control.

We work as a Fractional COO and Growth Partner for European IT and development agencies with 10–50 people that are growing faster than their internal systems.

This is a hands-on operating partnership, not advisory-only consulting and not day-to-day management outsourcing.

We work with founders and leadership teams to fix what actually blocks execution, build operational clarity, and make the business scalable without everything depending on the founder.

What a Fractional COO means in practice

As a Fractional COO, our experts operate inside the business, alongside your team.


We do not:

  • replace your CEO or managers
  • run daily operations instead of you
  • deliver slide decks without implementation

We do:

  • identify real operational and financial bottlenecks
  • design clear processes, roles, and management structure
  • work directly with your team to implement changes
  • stay involved until systems work in real life, not just on paper

Our focus is always on the critical 20 percent of actions that unblock growth, reduce chaos, and remove founder overload.

Typical problems we solve for growing agencies

This engagement is a strong fit if your agency is experiencing:
Growth, but margins are unclear or declining
Founder is the main bottleneck for decisions and delivery
Projects are delivered, but with stress, firefighting, and exceptions
Team leads are strong specialists but weak managers
No clear ownership, accountability, or decision framework
Scaling feels risky because systems are fragile

Our role as your Fractional COO / Growth Partner

We follows a simple, proven framework designed to deliver clarity and growth fast.
1. Identify real constraints
We analyze operations, delivery, finances, and management to find the few constraints that actually limit growth.
Not symptoms. Root causes.
2. Design systems that fit your stage
We define:
  • roles and responsibilities
  • management structure and decision ownership
  • delivery and execution processes
  • financial and operational control systems
3. Implement together with your team
We work hands-on with founders, managers, and key team members to implement changes in real workflows.
No theoretical frameworks that your team cannot use.
4. Stay until it works
We stay involved long enough to:
  • stabilize new processes
  • support managers during transition
  • ensure systems work without constant supervision
The goal is not dependency. The goal is autonomy.
Document Process
We document processes, roles, SOPs and standards to make your company scalable and independent from individuals.
Train Your Team
We train managers, teams and future leaders to operate confidently within the new system.

What makes this different from classic consulting

  • Operator-first, not advisor-only
  • Implementation-focused, not slide-focused
  • Systems that work with real people, not ideal org charts
  • Deep understanding of IT and outsourcing agency economics
  • Designed for European agencies, culture, and constraints

This is boutique consulting with execution responsibility, not just recommendations.

Results you can expect

  • Clear operational ownership and decision-making
  • Reduced founder workload and mental load
  • Predictable execution instead of constant firefighting
  • Systems that scale with the team, not against it
  • Stronger managers and leadership structure
  • Real progress, not just clarity
Result: a business that works without you carrying everything alone.

Who this is for

We support:
  • tech companies and startups
  • outsourcing and outstaffing companies
  • digital and marketing agencies
  • service-based companies
  • 10–50 people
  • European, English-speaking founders

Best fit:

companies from 700k to 3M EUR preparing to scale their operations, profit and leadership.

Engagement format

Fractional COO / Growth Partner engagements are:

  • part-time and flexible
  • typically 3–6 months
  • focused on a small number of high-impact priorities

The exact scope depends on your current bottlenecks and growth stage.

Testimonials

Trusted by founders, CEOs and top managers
Artem Shved
COO @Growpad
We had the opportunity to work with Anastasia as an external consultant at a key moment in the development of our SEO agency. Her involvement was a strategically important step.

Her main focus was on analyzing the agency's financial system, P&L structure, budgeting process, and overall operational maturity. She conducted an in-depth audit of the financial model, identified weaknesses in revenue planning, project estimation, and offered specific, actionable solutions.

Thanks to her recommendations, we:

Have established a clear and adaptive P&L structure for each business line.

Have started thinking differently about profitability and reinvestment, based not on intuition, but on accurate data.

We have streamlined the planning process: from monthly budgeting to an hourly model of team costs and the ROI of our services.

In addition to finances, Anastasia also provided us with valuable feedback on our structure, internal processes, and even the product line we are developing. She has a unique combination of strategic vision and deep understanding of operational details.

As a consultant, Anastasiia did not just "check the documents," but immersed herself in our activities and helped us think more broadly: as a mature service business, not just as a team with a few clients.

We sincerely recommend Anastasiia to those who want to improve their financial model, put their operations in order, and create a stable basis for scaling.
Ihor Bohdanov
CEO & Founder Right.Link
Working with Have a Plan Consulting — and with Anastasiia personally — was a turning point in how we manage financial planning and operational decision-making.
As we started thinking about scaling, we realized how little visibility we had into our actual financials — profitability, ROI on lead gen, even how much the company had earned over the past years.
Everything was running, but it wasn’t clear what was working.

Anastasiia helped us restructure our P&L, consolidate all financial data, and build tools to track cashflow, ROI, and margins. We improved our reports, made faster monthly decisions, and aligned our finances with long-term goals.
She worked fast, with clarity and deep expertise. Highly recommend.

Anastasia helped me bring clarity and structure to my work and business processes. Her ability to set priorities and translate strategy into practical solutions made me more focused and effective. She has a rare talent for combining strategic vision with hands-on guidance, which makes working with her both inspiring and productive. Anastasia delivers results quickly, while also creating systems that are sustainable in the long term. I highly recommend her as a consultant for anyone looking to improve efficiency and achieve meaningful progress.
Kirill Smirenko
Co-Founder Betoola
Anastasia's consultancy on financial and operations management has been of great help for Betoola. We did a series of online calls, as a result of which we synthesized our old spreadsheet-based systems and Anastasia's suggested ones and created a new, better system — still spreadsheets (which I love) but much clearer and usable.

Furthermore, Anastasia helped me and my colleagues by providing a second opinion on how we formulate our value proposition, and also shared her experience in sales and marketing for small IT businesses. I really loved that we share the same values, too. Thanks a lot!
Oleksii Andrusenko
Founder @Growpad 
I recommend Anastasiia as a COO consultant. She helped to improve the process with the offering we provide. Validate the ICP and pain points we face in our sales cycle. Furthermore, she reviewed our P&L and provided a strategic overview.
Irina Rizhkovskaya
HR Generalist | HappyGames Studio
I had the pleasure of working with Anastasia as my mentor for three months.

I reached out to her when I felt I had hit a ceiling in my career. Together, we created a clear development plan and held weekly calls.
Anastasia guided me through all the essential basics of how to run a strategic session in a company. She supported me at every step — from preparation to presenting ideas to the board, facilitating the session itself, and helping me summarize the results and refine the company’s annual plan.

Anastasia was always available and provided strong support beyond the main tasks. She frequently shared additional learning materials, which gave me even broader perspective and tools for growth.

I highly recommend Anastasia as a mentor.
