Operational Execution for Growth-Stage Founder-Led Businesses generating $3M+ at an inflection point
We embed where performance breaks; revenue, operations, and leadership structure; and build the systems required for scale.
LaRusso Partners serves founder-led businesses generating $3M–$15M that have outgrown informal operations and founder-dependent execution. We step in to stabilize operations, strengthen revenue performance, and install scalable infrastructure that increases enterprise value.

Operational Clarity Review
A 90-minute executive working session designed to identify bottlenecks and define a clear path to scalable growth.
The Operational Clarity Review is a focused, paid diagnostic engagement for founders who want immediate insight into what is limiting growth.
In this structured session, we analyze revenue flow, operational structure, leadership alignment, and execution gaps. You leave with a prioritized roadmap outlining the highest-impact changes required to stabilize and scale your business.
This is not advisory theory. It is a practical blueprint.

• Owners preparing for growth capital or strategic transition
Deliverables:
• Bottleneck analysis
• Operational risk assessment
