You are the operator
your clients rely on.atpace is the operator
you rely on.
Fixed-scope implementation, automation, and custom tooling for fractional CFOs and COOs.
Scoped work, not open-ended retainers.
I'm Casey. I've built companies, run them, and taken some to exit. I know where the work actually goes, because I've done it. What kept nagging at me was the sharpest operators I know getting pulled under by the overhead of going independent. I was one of them.
You don't leave corporate to become your own bookkeeper, sysadmin, and sales ops team. But that's what happens. The business of running a business eats the business.
I believe an operator should be able to run a real practice without trading their life for it. AtPace is the work. Torchrunner is the tool.
I've built and run real businesses.
Not a career in SaaS marketing. Not a consultant who decided to launch an app. Operator miles, the kind that show up in how I build.
I'm building what I wish I had.
AtPace is not a thesis I pitched to investors. It's the tool I needed when I was the one drowning. If it works for you, it's because it had to work for me first.
I hold myself to the standard my clients hold me to.
I've sat in the seat where software spend gets justified. I build accordingly.
Torchrunner.
The software behind the operator.
Fractional CFOs and COOs walk into every engagement carrying a stack of tools that were never built for them. A CRM made for sales teams. An accounting app for bookkeepers. An inbox for everyone and no one. A dozen tabs of logins.
Torchrunner is one system that understands what you actually do. Clients. Engagements. Deliverables. Billing. Communications. Knowledge. All in one place, with an AI that works the operation alongside you.
Operator-built. No scope creep. No discovery-calls-to-nowhere.
Notes from the operator chair
Clear price, clear outcome.
Fixed scopes with clear deliverables. No hourly billing, no activation fees, no retainer that outlives its usefulness.
