AI Won’t Run Your Business for You, but We Can

The Human Advantage in Leadership

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries, but it can’t replace human leadership. Businesses in Seattle and beyond are realizing that while AI enhances efficiency, it lacks the strategic vision, emotional intelligence, and problem-solving expertise that experienced executives bring to the table. That’s where fractional and interim executive services come in—providing hands-on leadership without the long-term commitment of a full-time hire.

At OneAccord, we believe in Building Value. Built on Values. Our work is transformative, strategic, and essential. We don’t just provide leadership; we partner in transformation, ensuring businesses overcome obstacles and achieve sustainable growth.

Great businesses aren’t built by accident.

They’re built with purpose, clarity, and a plan that turns vision into action. That’s what OneAccord delivers: a tailored path to help your business grow, scale, or exit with confidence.

Whether you’re navigating stalled growth, operational challenges, or preparing for a sale, our proven process provides the structure, leadership, and hands-on execution you need to move forward.

Get in Touch

Whether you’re scaling, preparing for a transition, or working through a challenge — sometimes the most valuable move is a conversation with someone who’s walked that road.

We’d love to hear where you are, where you’re headed, and explore how we can support your next chapter.


What Is a Fractional or Interim C-Suite Leader?

A fractional C-suite executive is a highly experienced leader who works with businesses on a part-time or project basis, helping them navigate growth, transition, or challenges. An interim C-suite leader steps in during leadership gaps to provide stability and continuity.

For businesses in Seattle, OneAccord provides fractional executive leadership to help scale your business, optimize operations, and drive revenue without the overhead of a full-time executive.

Key Roles We Offer:

  • Fractional CEO – Guides overall strategy and long-term growth.
  • Fractional COO – Optimizes operations, ensuring efficiency and scalability.
  • Fractional CRO – Develops and implements strategies to increase revenue.
  • Fractional CTO – Leads technology and digital transformation initiatives.

Our interim executive services are built to provide flexibility and high-impact guidance exactly when you need it most.

What We Don’t Do:

We do not provide Fractional CFO (Chief Financial Officer) services. However, we work with trusted partners such as CFO Selections and Turning Point to ensure you receive expert financial leadership when needed.

Why Seattle Businesses Choose Fractional C-Suite Leadership

Seattle’s business ecosystem is dynamic and fast-paced. Companies often need C-suite leadership to drive their growth, but hiring a full-time executive isn’t always feasible. Here’s why fractional and interim C-suite operators are the ideal solution:

1. Cost-Effective Executive Leadership

Hiring a full-time C-suite executive can be expensive. Fractional executives provide expertise at a fraction of the cost.

2. Strategic Agility & Flexibility

Seattle startups, mid-sized businesses, and growth-stage companies benefit from on-demand leadership without long-term commitments.

3. Accelerated Business Growth

From scaling operations to increasing revenue, our fractional CEOs, COOs, CROs, and CTOs bring years of leadership experience to drive measurable results.

4. Expertise in Business Transitions

If your business is going through a merger, acquisition, or leadership transition, an interim executive ensures seamless continuity and success.

Fractional & Interim Leadership in the Bigger Picture

In Chapter 6 of the book Your Business Could Be Worth More, the importance of key C-suite roles is explored in detail, highlighting how businesses thrive by leveraging fractional and interim executives.

Whether you’re preparing for business expansion, overcoming operational bottlenecks, or seeking higher profitability, experienced leadership is a game-changer.

At OneAccord, we believe that success is more than an endpoint—it’s a story of vision, action, and impact, written together. This approach aligns with our mission to help businesses navigate change, build sustainable value, and drive long-term success.

FAQs: Strategic Business Planning & Support

What’s the difference between Strategic Planning and Business Coaching?

Strategic Planning creates a roadmap for your company with clear initiatives, responsibilities, and goals. Business Coaching with OASYS helps your team implement that roadmap through better systems, leadership, and team alignment.

When you’re facing transition, gaps in leadership, or need momentum during key growth or exit phases. It’s a cost-effective way to get experienced leadership without a long hiring cycle.

Yes—but it often leads to deeper engagements. About 70% of our strategic planning clients move into coaching or executive support once they see the results.

No. We specialize in helping mid-market businesses—typically $5M–$100M in revenue—across industries prepare for growth, scale, or succession.
